Okay Samsung fam — buckle up. One UI 8.0 is officially heating up behind the scenes, and it’s not playing around. The beta’s coming real soon (we’re talkin’ July), and Galaxy users are buzzing louder than a Love Island villa.
Yep, Samsung’s testing its shiny new software right now — and spoiler alert — it’s built on Android 16. That means faster, smarter, and just a little extra spicy.
You know that “Now Brief” feature that was only on the Galaxy S25? It’s finally going public. It watches your phone habits and throws out slick suggestions. Creepy? A little. Useful? Totally. It’s like your phone turned into your personal assistant — minus the attitude.
Video nerds, this one’s for you — “Log Video Recording” is spreading beyond the S25. That’s pro-level video magic, now on more Galaxy devices. Think Christopher Nolan, but in your pocket.
And Quick Share? Got a glow-up. The new layout separates ‘Send’ and ‘Receive’ like it’s a high school drama breakup. It’s cleaner, faster, and just makes sense.
Oh, and those tiny design tweaks? Buttons now pop with a fresh, circular style. Because sometimes, it’s the little things that make your phone feel brand new.
The update’s expected to roll out with the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 — because why not launch a new OS with phones that fold like origami and flip like retro Razrs?
If you’ve got a Galaxy S22 or newer, or rockin’ a Z Fold or Z Flip, you’re probably golden. Galaxy A series and Tab users — you’re in the mix too. Basically, if your phone’s not ancient, you’re likely on the guest list.
So get ready — summer’s not just for pool parties and concert tours. Samsung’s about to drop a beta that could steal the season.
