UI8—please don't see it as an update.

johnz237 — Wed, 28 May 2025 10:05:51 GMT

The new UI 8 has started rolling out.

Being a beta, expect some issues . The whole point of this beta is that you, the community, can help give feedback on issues that need to be ironed out. Giving feedback is vital for a smoother release. It's nice getting the new UI 8, but remember, this is a beta for a reason.

Do your research, be sure.

Be sure to read the disclaimers from Samsung and understand what this is and what it is for.

Be sure to read ALL the available information beforehand.

BACKUP YOUR DATA BEFOREHAND.

Going to link back to ui7

I'm away on holiday but will update with in-depth information later. If you have any tips from your own experience with older beta programs drop them in the comments

A lot will probably just ignore this bit.

Now I'm saying wait a few days for a few others to try it and see what the issues are. On the other hand I'm itching to try it. 😂

One UI8 BETA is available now for S25 Series devices.

Not sure yet if carrier devices are included or not. From experiences they aren't usually but who knows this year

Thanks for the info. I have the S24 Plus.

Also, I was being a cheeky monkey and mocking. 🐵🙈

Where's OneUI 9.0 already??!! 😡

Re: Re: Re: UI8—please don't see it as an update.

johnz237 — Wed, 28 May 2025 12:37:13 GMT

Yep! The beta isn't an update—its intent is for those willing to risk issues and help Samsung with feedback. Assuming you did a backup beforehand as it recommended, so you can leave the program.

Re: Re: UI8—please don't see it as an update.

johnz237 — Wed, 28 May 2025 12:38:41 GMT

Unsure if I wanna laugh or cry

Re: Re: UI8—please don't see it as an update.

Joeeye — Wed, 28 May 2025 12:42:22 GMT

Sorry had to get that out first 😂

Next is, why the battery drain in OneUI 8!? I've already charged my phone 3 times since installing it 2 hours ago!!!

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: UI8—please don't see it as an update.

Joeeye — Wed, 28 May 2025 12:45:19 GMT

I'm curious if we'll get "forced updates" of OneUI 8 beta... 😬

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: UI8—please don't see it as an update.

johnz237 — Wed, 28 May 2025 12:52:05 GMT

Giving it 3 hours after official release. Those 3 hours for those not technologically inclined—as those are the only people saying it...gotta figure out how to make a post
