Samsung has just expanded its One UI 8 beta program across a wide lineup of Galaxy devices. The beta, powered by Android 16, first arrived on the Galaxy S25 series earlier in May 2025. Over the past few weeks, it has reached the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6, and now even 2023 and 2024 devices like the Galaxy S23 lineup, A36, A35, and A55.

What’s New in One UI 8 Beta?

One UI 8 is not just an Android version bump — it’s a major AI-focused update. Here are some of the highlights beta testers are experiencing:

  • AI-powered productivity tools – improved Samsung Notes summaries, AI-driven reminders, and smarter Calendar integration.

  • Enhanced multitasking – better split-screen, quick resize for apps, and improved Samsung DeX.

  • Redesigned Quick Share with smoother cross-device sharing.

  • Dynamic wallpapers & UI tweaks – animated lock screens and cleaner layouts.

  • App updates – Gallery, Calendar, Reminders, and Health get refreshed interfaces.

  • Stronger privacy controls – upgraded Secure Folder and system-wide permission alerts.

  • Accessibility boosts – improved Call Captions and better screen reader functions.

  • Auracast audio support – stream audio to multiple devices simultaneously.

Samsung Has Changed How One UI Beta Programs Work

With One UI 8, Samsung has redesigned the beta experience for the first time in years.

  • Centralized Beta Hub: All devices under the same Samsung account appear in one unified beta section inside the Samsung Members app.

  • Easier Enrollment: No need to register each device separately — just opt-in per device.

  • Flexible Exit: You can leave the beta for just one device, or withdraw from all at once.

  • Re-Join Anytime: If you only leave one device, you can re-enroll later (if slots are open).

This new structure makes beta testing more user-friendly, especially for those with multiple Samsung devices.

How to Leave the One UI 8 Beta on Your Device

If you’re facing issues with One UI 8 beta, you can leave at the device level.

Steps:

  1. Open the Samsung Members app.

  2. Go to the Discover tab > Beta Program section.

  3. Select your enrolled device.

  4. Tap the Menu (⋮) in the top-right corner.

  5. Choose Leave Beta Program.

  6. Fill or skip the survey.

  7. Tap Leave to confirm.

👉 After this, you won’t get more beta updates on that device. You’ll either have to roll back to One UI 7 or wait until Samsung pushes the stable One UI 8 update at the end of the beta cycle.

How to Withdraw from All Beta Programs

Want to remove yourself completely from Samsung’s beta system across all devices?

Steps:

  1. Open Samsung Members.

  2. Go to Discover > Beta Program.

  3. Tap the Menu (⋮) > Beta Program Settings.

  4. Select Withdraw from Beta Program.

  5. Fill or skip the optional survey.

  6. Tap Withdraw to confirm.

This will unregister your Samsung account from all One UI beta programs.

How to Roll Back to Stable One UI 7

Leaving the beta doesn’t automatically put your phone back on stable firmware. You’ll need to downgrade manually using Smart Switch.

⚠️ Important: Rolling back wipes your device. Back up your photos, chats, and files before starting.

Steps to Roll Back:

  1. Install Samsung Smart Switch on your Windows or macOS PC.

  2. Connect your Galaxy device via USB.

  3. Tap Allow on your phone when prompted.

  4. Open Smart Switch.

    • Beta users will see a Downgrade button.

    • Stable users see only Update.

  5. Click Downgrade.

  6. Wait for the process to finish — your phone will reboot on One UI 7 stable.

Special Case: Galaxy Watches

If you installed the One UI Watch 8 beta on your Galaxy Watch, Smart Switch won’t help. You’ll need to visit a Samsung Service Center to roll back.

Why Roll Back to One UI 7?

Rolling back is worth it if:

  • You need a stable phone for work or school.

  • Banking, payments, or enterprise apps aren’t working.

  • You’re facing battery drain or performance slowdowns.

  • You’d rather wait for the final One UI 8 release.

Benefits of rolling back include:

  • Stability and reliability.

  • Better battery life.

  • Full app compatibility.

  • Continued monthly security patches.

Should You Stay in Beta or Leave?

The decision depends on your priorities:

  • Stay in Beta if you love exploring new features early, reporting bugs, and don’t mind some glitches.

  • Roll Back if you rely on your phone daily, can’t risk broken apps, or value stability over early access.

Conclusion

Samsung’s One UI 8 beta program has expanded to an impressive lineup — from the Galaxy S25 and S24 series to foldables like the Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6, and even mid-range phones like the A36, A35, and A55. Tablets and older flagships are next in line.

With Samsung’s new centralized beta hub, it’s easier than ever to join, leave, or withdraw from beta testing. And if needed, the Smart Switch downgrade process ensures you can safely return to the stable One UI 7 firmware.

No matter your choice, Samsung has ensured that Galaxy users stay in control of their software experience.
