Samsung has released the One UI 8 beta for Galaxy S23 devices in select regions.

To access the One UI 8 beta, use the Samsung Members app to register your compatible device for beta access. The update will then be available in your phone's Software Update area. Samsung is expected to broaden beta access to more devices this month, such as the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5, but specifics about their updates are not yet available.

Samsung began beta testing One UI 8 on the Galaxy S25 series earlier in the year and launched a stable version with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Fold 7 in July. The software includes Android 16, a range of new features, and an updated design. These include an updated Quick Share interface and enhanced AI integration.

If you choose to register your device for the One UI 8 beta, remember that this is early software that may have compatibility issues, performance problems, and bugs. It may be preferable to wait for a final version for your primary device, but if you are interested, you can preview Samsung's software now.

In other news, after a year of development, a new project will be released in a few months.
