These Galaxy phones and tablets could get OneUI 8 Beta and Android 16

Samsung is currently rolling out its One UI 7 big update based on Android 15, but as Google is gearing up to release the stable Android 16 version, One UI 8 is next in line.

Of course, Pixel phones will be the first to get Android 16, but you don't have to mourn this fact if you own a Galaxy phone or tablet, because Samsung has its own beta program, and it will get One UI 8 and Android 16.

Even though there's no official word on when this beta program will kick off, the rumor mill suggests it could be as early as May (we still have a couple of days left for that particular rumor to hold true), and many of you Samsung fans out there might be wondering if your device will be eligible.

Google has already confirmed that the official stable rollout of Android 16 will happen sometimes in June and the next Samsung foldable devices are expected to land in July, running the aforementioned Android 16 and One UI 8 out of the box, so the timeline fits. Meanwhile, Samsung is testing One UI 8 but denies any early rollout or beta relies at this time:

We understand the excitement around future software updates, but at this time, One UI 8.0 has not been officially announced or released for any devices.While some reports may claim that certain devices have been spotted running One UI 8.0, these are likely internal Samsung test units, which are used for early-stage development and are not available for public use. - Samsung

Our good friends and colleagues at SamMobile had tested an early firmware of the One UI 8 on the Galaxy S25 series, so we know for sure that the latest Samsung flagships will be eligible for that beta release, but that's not surprising at all.

Judging from our experience with the S24 series and the One UI 7 rollout, there might be a delay of weeks to months before the next big software update drips down to other non-flagship devices. According to the latest One UI 8 info, the list of new features isn't that long, so we don't expect a huge delay this time.

We've compiled a list of devices eligible to get the One UI 8 through Samsung's beta program, and you should take it with a tiny grain of salt, as there's nothing official from the Korean company yet.

Nevertheless, if you're wondering whether or not your Galaxy phone or tablet will get Android 16 and One UI 8 eventually, you can check the list below.
