Samsung has expanded its One UI 7.0 beta program to several Galaxy devices. The Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6, Galaxy S23 series, and Galaxy Tab S10 lineup are now part of the beta program, with the Galaxy A55 could join the list later this month. However, Samsung Galaxy S24 series users running the One UI 7.0 Beta 4 build are thinking about whether they will get the Beta 5 or if Beta 4 was the final beta build. Now, a community moderator has replied to queries related to Beta 5 and also talks about the next generation One UI 8.0.
Samsung community moderator responds to One UI 7.0 Beta 5 queries
A Samsung US community moderator, when asked by a user, “Any news on the next Beta 5 drop?” replied, “At this time, there’s no official release date for Beta 5, but the team is continuing to fine-tune One UI 7 to ensure that it meets stability and performance expectations. As soon as there are confirmed updates, they will be communicated through official Samsung channels.” Therefore, the moderator has neither denied nor confirmed the release of One UI 7.0 Beta 5. However, we may get One UI 7.0 beta 5 for the Galaxy S24 Ultra soon, as just yesterday, Samsung’s test server updated a new One UI 7.0 beta build for the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
The moderator also appreciates feedback and has asked users to share their experiences, including any improvements or issues with Beta 4. If you are facing any issues, you can report bugs through the Samsung Members app.
Additionally, the moderator also discusses the idea of beta testers directly switching to One UI 8.0 (Android 16). While this could be an interesting idea, Samsung aims to thoroughly refine each version of One UI before proceeding to the next version. Samsung focuses on long-term updates, but as of now, it mainly wants to provide a smooth and complete One UI 7.0 experience.
There is chatter surrounding the early release of One UI 8.0 (Android 16). Rumors suggest that Samsung started One UI 8.0’s development two months earlier than usual. It seems Samsung is planning to release One UI 8.0 earlier than usual since Google has already confirmed that stable Android 16 will launch in June 2025.
