Samsung recently expanded the One UI 8 beta program to more Galaxy devices, such as the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6. In addition to the beta program, Samsung is also testing One UI 8 internally on several other devices. Samsung Galaxy A55 will be getting the One UI 8 Beta update soon. 

Before Stable, the Korean tech giant is set to roll out to more devices within September, including the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy Z Fold5, Galaxy Z Flip5, Galaxy A36 5G, Galaxy A55 5G, Galaxy A35 5G, and Galaxy A54, marking the third phase of expansion.

Now, the latest One UI 8 Beta build has emerged for the Galaxy A55. As spotted by TarunVats, the initial build carries PDA version ending with ZYH4.  The Beta will be available in India, South Korea, and the UK.

Recently, the Samsung Galaxy S25 series received the One UI 8 beta 5 update. It includes several bug fixes, paving the way for a stable release, which the company plans to release in September 2025, and will gradually expand it to more devices.

Samsung Galaxy M35 5G has been spotted on Geekbench running One UI 8-based Android 16. This smartphone will be one of the phones in the Galaxy M series to get Android 16, which is set to bring new features and improvements to the device.

Moreover, the company recently expanded its One UI 8 beta program to include more Galaxy devices such as the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6.

According to the tipster, the Samsung Galaxy M35 with One UI 8 has scored impressively on the benchmark, with a single-core score of 960 and a multi-core score of 2036. These scores suggest the M35 will offer amazing performance to handle everyday tasks and multitask easily.

One UI 8 update will mark the second of a new software upgrade cycle for Samsung’s mid-range Galaxy M35 smartphone. Notably, Samsung promises to provide four major Android updates to the Galaxy M35, so users can expect the phone to stay up-to-date with the latest features for several years.

It’s possible that some Galaxy M35 users could get to try Android 16 early through a beta program, but this hasn’t been confirmed yet. Samsung will release the stable first for flagship models like the Galaxy S25 series, and other mid-range devices could get a chance to try new features later.

Stay tuned for more information as the One UI 8 Beta update is reportedly going to be released this week.
