One UI 8 beta launch hints now being dropped by Samsung itself

Samsung's only just got done with the One UI 7 public release but the attention has already shifted to One UI 8. The company will be releasing the next major update, which will also bring Android 16, in the next few months. We've already confirmed exclusively that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 will come with One UI 8 out of the box.

This means that it's only a matter of time before the One UI 8 beta program is opened to the public. Samsung hasn't provided a concrete date as yet, but even it's dropping hints now that the beta launch is coming sooner rather than later.

Many of Samsung's official regional forums have already been updated with dedicated pages for beta assistance. However, the biggest hint comes from the notifications that Samsung has sent on the internal builds of One UI 8. Many of these builds have already been floating around for weeks, and we've tested a few of them as well.

The notification directed those users to the Tips app where they could find out more about what's new in One UI 8. A banner asking for their feedback has also been updated, clearly indicating that Samsung is laying the ground work for the impending release of the One UI 8 beta.
