The next significant One UI release will be the One UI 8 update, which Samsung is developing for Android 16. Only the Galaxy S25 series is currently able to access the One UI 8 in public beta. It is being tested internally for a number of devices, though.
On Samsung’s server, the One UI 8 internal beta for the Galaxy S22 and S24 FE was recently discovered. Internal beta testing has already started for these two phones, even if they might not get the public beta. Accordingly, users of the Galaxy S24 FE and S22 can anticipate the stable One UI 8 update shortly following the release of the Galaxy S23 series.
Build number CYG1 was the One UI 8 internal build for the Galaxy S24 FE, and build GYG1 was the build for the Galaxy S22 series.
This result confirms that the upgrade is currently being developed, even though it might not be a significant accomplishment. Additionally, there’s a potential that the build will leak to the public because internal testing has started, providing unauthorized access to this update on these devices.
We appreciate Tarun Vats’s discovery. In contrast to the One UI 7 build, you may anticipate that the stable One UI 8 upgrade will arrive on schedule if you own a Galaxy S24 FE or Galaxy S22. Additionally, don’t wait for the public beta because Samsung often only publishes it for a select few devices, primarily the most recent flagship and mid-range models.
It is anticipated that One UI 8 will introduce some new features and significantly increase One UI performance. There will be some additions even if there might not be as many significant improvements as One UI 7. For instance, the Adaptive Lock Screen clock, which looks fantastic, will also be included. Expect some UI improvements for stock apps as well.
