Samsung was very bad at rolling out One UI 7 based on Android 15 to its devices in a timely fashion, but it seems like it wants things to be very different for One UI 8 based on Android 16. The company has already released the first One UI 8 beta for the Galaxy S25 series last week.
But what if you own a slightly older Samsung flagship? Say, one that’s in the Galaxy S24 or Galaxy S23 series? A new rumor today claims to have some inside information on the matter.
According to this, the Galaxy S24 devices will get the first One UI 8 beta in late June or early July, while the Galaxy S23 family will have to wait until early to mid-July. Of course, releasing a beta in a decently timely fashion (Google is expected to come out with Android 16 by the end of this month) doesn’t necessarily guarantee a timely rollout of the finalized version, but it is a good first step nevertheless.
Things may move along quicker this time for no other reason than the fact that One UI 8 is a much smaller upgrade than One UI 7 was. But, of course, only time will tell.
