Samsung launches One UI 8: which devices will receive it and what new features it has
Samsung has launched the beta version of One UI 8 with Android 16 and integrated AI. It is already available in some countries
Samsung has introduced the beta program for its new interface, One UI 8, based on Android 16.
It incorporates a multimodal AI agent and will be available first on foldable devices and the Galaxy S25 series.

What is One UI 8 and why does it mark a change for Galaxy?
The new version of the interface aims to improve user productivity and comfort. It is designed to simplify daily routines through smart features.
It features a system that adapts to each user and learns from their habits to offer contextual and personalized responses.
Integrated AI: smart suggestions and total personalization
Thanks to collaboration with Google, this version combines the power of Android 16 with proactive artificial intelligence.

The new multimodal agent enables more natural communication with the phone, recognizing text, voice, and images simultaneously.
It also includes features such as "Now bar" and "Now brief", which display relevant information and suggestions caused by AI.

Privacy first: this is how One UI 8 protects your data
Data security is also key. Samsung incorporates Knox Vault, a system that isolates sensitive information to prevent unauthorized access.
The user will be able to choose whether AI processes the data directly on the device, without sending it to the cloud.
Where is the One UI 8 beta available?
The beta program can already be tested on the Galaxy S25 series in selected countries:
- United States
- Germany
- South Korea
- United Kingdom

Users can access it through the Samsung Members app.
Which devices will receive One UI 8?
The first rollout will be on the new foldable devices launching this summer. It will then progressively reach more Galaxy models.

Other standout features of One UI 8
The new version improves already known tools and incorporates new features:
- Reminders: allows users to create tasks by voice and share lists.
- Quick Share: faster and more versatile for file sharing.
- Auracast: support for audio streaming with Bluetooth LE Audio.
- Support with QR and NFC: faster customer service from Samsung Account.
