Summary

  • Samsung has launched the beta test for One UI 8, available on the Galaxy S25, Plus, and Ultra models, but not on the S25 Edge.
  • The beta is aimed at testing the new Android 16 software on these smartphone models before the launch of the company’s new foldable devices this summer.
  • The new One UI 8 includes AI features, including improved personalisation and speed, optimised for the different form factors of the Galaxy range.
  • The update also features new split-screen functionality to allow users to partially move an app off the screen while they focus on another app, similar to multitasking tools seen on OnePlus phones.
  • It also includes updates to Samsung’s Reminder app, a simpler interface for Quick Share, and Android 16’s support for Auracast for hearing aid and earbud connectivity.
