While the Galaxy S25 series is already knee-deep in Android 16 beta testing, Samsung is now quietly laying the groundwork for the Galaxy S24 series to follow suit. A new internal testing build—S928BXXU4CYF7—has been spotted for the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The discovery, first reported by a reliable tipster, signals that Samsung is prepping its One UI 8 beta program for last year’s flagship phones.
Right now, testing is focused on the European and Indian variants of the S24 Ultra. But based on Samsung’s update patterns, it’s safe to assume the entire S24 family—including the standard S24 and S24+—will be in once the public beta rolls out.

The Galaxy S25 lineup received its first One UI 8 beta back in late May, and so far, user feedback has been mostly positive. No major bugs, no show-stopping issues—which is a good sign for the next wave of devices. If you’re using a Galaxy S24 and wondering when your turn is coming: soon, most likely. Samsung has been moving faster with software updates lately, and this early internal testing suggests the public beta isn’t far off.

Once the beta program opens, slots can fill up quickly—especially for major updates like Android 16. So if you’re eager to try the new features early, it’s best to stay prepared.
