Samsung Introduces One UI 8 Beta Program for Upcoming Galaxy Foldables

The new One UI 8 software update, designed with a seamless blend of Samsung’s wide range of Galaxy products, is a next-generation software intelligence experience powered by a truly multimodal AI agent. The update is expected to arrive soon, but as of now, the Beta Program is officially open for participation.

Built as an integrated software platform in collaboration with Google, One UI 8 is crafted to deliver a more intuitive, simplified, and powerful experience for Galaxy users. It will make its debut alongside Samsung’s upcoming foldable smartphones, and is set to be among the first UI platforms compatible with the latest Android 16.

Natural, Seamless AI Experiences Tailored to You

One UI 8 is a major leap forward, enhancing the AI features first introduced with the Galaxy S25 Series. It offers more advanced and accessible AI-powered user experiences, featuring fluid and natural functionality, device-wide seamless operations, and user-centric intelligent suggestions.

Among the three key transformative updates, One UI 8 introduces a smooth, intuitive user experience across all Galaxy devices, personalized AI recommendations based on user behavior, and enhanced features like Now Bar and Now Brief that provide relevant information and suggestions based on real-time AI insights, boosting productivity and usability.

All these intelligent features are built with robust data protection at the core. Thanks to Samsung Knox Vault, your sensitive personal data is safeguarded through a secure processor and memory setup that ensures exclusive access only to the device owner, with protection from both local and remote intrusions.

One UI 8 supports both on-device and cloud-based Galaxy AI functionalities, allowing users to choose how their data is managed, while maintaining a transparent and privacy-first approach to AI usage.

Making Everyday Life Easier and More Connected

Beyond enhanced AI experiences, One UI 8 also brings a host of new features to make daily tasks simpler and smoother.

Thanks to Bluetooth LE Audio-powered Auracast technology, users can easily connect devices like Galaxy Buds3 or compatible hearing aids by simply scanning a QR code — making device sharing and connection more seamless than ever.

The Reminder app has also been upgraded with intelligent suggestions, making it easier to manage travel and daily plans. For the first time, users can view and manage all reminders in one simplified interface, with the option to add voice memos as reminders.

The enhanced Quick Share feature now allows for instant sharing of data and memories at the tap of a button — enabling faster, smoother transfers to others.

The Future of Galaxy AI Begins with One UI 8

One UI 8 marks the beginning of the next chapter in Galaxy AI, and those interested in being among the first to experience it can now sign up through the Samsung Members App.
