The first One UI 8 beta build for the Galaxy S24 series (h/t Tarun Vats) is 3.2GB in size and has the version number S926BXXU9ZYH3/ S926BOXM9ZYH3/S926BXXU9CYH3, depending on the region. This update is rolling out to users in the UK and Korea, but we expect users in the US, and India also to get it very soon.
This first beta update is available only for the unlocked version of the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus, and Galaxy S24 Ultra, so users with carrier variants will have to wait. The update also comes with the August 1, 2025 security patch level, so users signing up for the beta will be on the latest patch level.
Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 users in Korea are getting their first One UI 8 beta, too (h/t Tarun Vats). Samsung announced that these devices will also receive the beta update in the US, UK, and India, so the update should be rolling out soon in these regions.
Samsung hasn’t shared the full changelog as part of this update, but you can check out the full One UI changelog here.
