Samsung started a One UI 8 beta rollout for several A-series and S-series devices in select regions. The Galaxy A36 beta (build A366EXXU4ZYHD, 2.1GB) is available in the US, UK, Korea and India through Samsung Members opt-in. The Galaxy A55 beta (build A556EXXUAZYH6, 1.9GB) and Galaxy A35 face similar regional restrictions, with India ahead on roll-out. The Galaxy A54 can join the beta via Samsung Members, while the A34 and A56 remain absent or uncertain. Galaxy S24 betas arrived around August 13; Galaxy S23 betas reached devices earlier than expected. Z Fold5 and Z Flip5 are scheduled for September.
The Samsung Galaxy A36 is the newest model of the A-series (the A56 is suspiciously absent from the roadmap). The first beta for it has a build number A366EXXU4ZYHD and weighs 2.1GB. It's available only to users in the US, the UK, Korea and India. You need to opt into the beta program using the Samsung Members app to get it.
The Galaxy A35 and A55 should be subject to the same regional restrictions (it looks like the roll-out in India is ahead of the other regions). In the case of the Galaxy A55, you are looking for build number A556EXXUAZYH6 and a download of 1.9GB.
There's more, of course. Unofficial dates suggested that the Galaxy S24 series would get the beta on August 13 - and that was right on the money. That same rumor said that the Galaxy S23 series will get the beta on September 8, i.e. Monday next week. However, it seems that the update has arrived a week early and the first reports of One UI 8 beta hitting Galaxy S23 models are already shared on the Internet.
