The highly anticipated software update for Samsung’s latest phones has arrived in the US. Following its rollout in South Korea and the UK, the One UI 8 Beta Program is now accessible for the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra. The beta launch gives the most loyal users the opportunity to experience the forthcoming version of Samsung’s software, which is built on Android 16.

As US users of the Galaxy Z series wait, users of the S24 can begin using the new software by enrolling via the Samsung Members app. The update, bearing firmware version S92xU1UEU4ZYH3, is a hefty 3.25GB download, indicating a significant change. In addition to the core Android 16 updates, this beta introduces numerous new features and enhancements for users. Users will notice a more intuitive design and a cleaner appearance for apps such as Quick Share and an improved Reminder system.
One UI 8 also introduces a number of features that beef up security and productivity. For example, Secure Folder has been fortified with tighter integration with Android’s built-in privacy features. The beta also provides a more adaptable split-screen view that enables more combinations of display setups to fit individual multitasking demands. These additions are a reflection of Samsung’s attention to delivering a software experience that is not just prettier but also more capable and secure.
