It looks like Samsung might start public beta testing of Android 16/One UI 8 a bit early this year. It's reportedly showing up on the secret test server, and insiders have been saying we can expect it as early as June. With the... erm... messy launch of One UI 7, it might be tempting to jump on board and give it a spin. Don't.
The idea of wrecking a phone like the Galaxy S25 Ultra with unfinished buggy software is insane to me. I can see why it might sound tempting, but still, you're taking an expensive and finely tuned piece of machinery and installing software held together with rubber bands and wishes, hoping the useful bits are worth the inevitable problems that will arise.
