While we expected Samsung’s One UI 8 update, based on Android 16, to start rolling out to older Galaxy devices sometime this month, the company has just confirmed that won’t happen until September, but the beta is expanding today.
Samsung launched its first One UI 8 beta on the Galaxy S25 series in May of this year, then fully launching the update on its new Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 in late July. But, thus far, the company has been quiet regarding a stable rollout of its Android 16 update.
Today, we’re finally getting details.
In a post today, Samsung has confirmed that the stable One UI 8 update will start rolling out to supported Galaxy devices “starting in September.” It’s unclear when in September, but it’s likely not right at the beginning considering the main piece of news in that announcement.

For now, Samsung is expanding the One UI 8 beta program to more Galaxy devices beyond the Galaxy S25 series. The following Galaxy devices were explicitly included:
Galaxy S24
Galaxy S24+
Galaxy S24 Ultra
Galaxy Z Flip 6
Galaxy Z Fold 6
Galaxy S23
Galaxy S23+
Galaxy S23 Ultra
Galaxy Z Flip 5
Galaxy Z Fold 5
Galaxy A36
Galaxy A55
Galaxy A35
Galaxy A54
Only the Galaxy S24 series and 2024’s foldable lineup will be eligible “next week,” with the rest of the list getting the beta “in September.” So, as mentioned, we don’t expect to see the full One UI 8 rollout until mid-late September at the earliest with that in mind.
As Samsung explains (below), the One UI 8 beta program will be available in Korea, the US, the UK, and India.
Initially introduced with the Galaxy S25 series in May, the One UI 8 beta program will include the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6 beginning next week in Korea, the U.S., the U.K. and India.
In September, availability will extend to even more devices, including the Galaxy S23 series, Z Fold5, Z Flip5, A36 5G, A55 5G, A35 5G and A54.1 Users can register for the beta program via the Samsung Members app.
Samsung further adds that One UI 8 Watch will expand beyond the Galaxy Watch 8 series and Galaxy Watch Ultra starting sometime “later this year.”
