Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5 owners on Samsung’s Korean-language Community forum (h/t: Tarun Vats) have confirmed the availability of the One UI 8 beta. Check out a couple of screenshots below.
The first screenshot above shows that you’re looking at a hefty update in excess of 3GB. So you should definitely use Wi-Fi if you’re not on an unlimited data plan.
There’s no word on a release timeline for Galaxy Z5 owners in other locales. Nevertheless, this initial availability suggests that an expanded release isn’t far away. So you might have to wait a few days to see it in your market.
The rollout also comes after Samsung promised to release the stable version of One UI 8 this month. We’re expecting the Galaxy S25 series to be first in line for the stable update.
