Samsung is moving forward with plans for One UI 8 Beta development while continuing to roll out the stable One UI 7 update. Recent leaks suggest the company is eyeing a possible mid-May 2025 launch window for its beta testing phase, with hints that Galaxy S25 models could get early access.
Insider reports reveal Samsung’s testing teams are already evaluating early One UI 8 Beta versions. A credible source recently identified build number S938BXXU3ZYEF for the global Galaxy S25 Ultra, signaling active development.
While Samsung hasn’t made an official announcement, industry watchers predict the public beta phase could open sooner than usual, starting with the Galaxy S25 lineup before expanding to other compatible devices. The program typically lets users preview upcoming features and provide feedback ahead of the full release.
Speculation about a mid-May 2025 beta launch aligns with Samsung’s accelerated testing patterns this year. Early access might initially be limited to specific regions, though the company hasn’t confirmed these details. Unlike previous versions, One UI 8’s development timeline appears more streamlined, potentially avoiding delays seen during One UI 7’s rollout.
As always, unofficial leaks should be approached cautiously until Samsung shares concrete details. Still, the steady flow of test builds and insider reports points to active behind-the-scenes work on the next Android-based interface upgrade.
