Details on the Update
In a recent press release, Samsung announced that the new update “will start with the Galaxy S25 series…in September.” It’s still not clear if this rollout will include the Galaxy S25 Edge or just the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra (currently priced at $968 on Amazon) which launched a few months back.

This month is also significant as it will see the One UI 8 Beta Program expand to several last-gen flagship models. Specifically, Samsung has announced that owners of the Galaxy Z Fold6, Galaxy Z Flip6, and Galaxy S24 series will be able to access the new OS update starting August 10, but only in India, the UK, and the US.
Future Additions
Following this, a new set of mid-range and older flagship devices will be included in the Beta Program. However, Samsung has not yet confirmed the regional availability details.
