Alongside the Galaxy S23 series, Samsung has started the new Android 16-based One UI 8 beta program for the Galaxy A55, A54, and A35 models as well, while the company has started expanding the beta build for A series devices to join the ongoing beta program.
To begin with, the current One UI 8 beta version for the Galaxy A55, Galaxy A54, and Galaxy A35 is currently going live in India and is identified with the all-new version numbers A556EXXUAZYH6, A546EXXUFZYH6, and A356EXXU5ZYH6, respectively.
More specifically, the latest beta firmware for all the above-mentioned devices carries a huge update size of over 1.5GB, suggesting that Samsung has added several essential features and enhancements while also bringing some exciting new features as well as more upgraded security, productivity, and accessibility.
However, beta builds are essentially made to fix certain bugs and inconsistencies within the latest version, but at the same time, it’s the perfect chance to test out various features and improvements ahead of stable release in order to provide feedback and useful suggestions during the beta program.
Despite that, most prominently, the latest One UI 8 beta firmware significantly integrates the newest September 2025 security patch that is meant to strengthen the overall device’s security and core functionality to provide a more secure user experience, while also keeping the device safe from potential threats.
Well, now, Samsung has apparently added more older-generation Galaxy devices to the One UI 8 beta program list, and currently, the beta program is available for the Galaxy S24, Z Fold 6, Flip 6, S23, A55, A54, and A35 models. Since the stable release will happen soon for the Galaxy S25 series, starting this month, at the same time, other eligible Galaxy devices will continue receiving the beta build sequentially.
