Samsung could be gearing up to launch an Android 16 beta this month


One UI 8 might enter beta testing way sooner than expected.

In terms of availability, it's expected the One UI 8 beta will be extremely limited to certain devices and regions initially, with expanded access in June 2025. Paired with Google moving up its Android release schedule, this all helps explain why One UI 8 appears to be progressing quicker than expected.
