Samsung One UI 8 beta now coming to mid-range devices
Samsung continues with the One UI 8 beta program and there are new devices getting the Android 16-based version in September. The company has offered the Android 16 version for its 2024 flagship models and the Z Foldables in August and now it is heading to mid-range and older Samsung flagship phones this week.
The cycle for the One UI 8 update quickly rolls on to the next Galaxy devices who can try out the new version before it is publicly rolled out for select devices in the near future.
