Samsung has officially expanded the One UI 8 Beta testing program beyond the Galaxy S25 series, and the Galaxy A55 is the first mid-range device to participate. This is a move that shows that the company wants to speed up software updates for many product segments.

The One UI 8 Beta update for the Galaxy A55 is currently rolling out in India, with version number A556EXXUAZYH6, about 1.9GB in size, and comes with the September 2025 security patch. With the Android 16 platform, this version promises to bring a more intuitive interface, improved performance, and many new Galaxy AI features.

Galaxy A55 users in India can register to participate via the Samsung Members app. After registering, just go to Settings > Software update > Download and install to check for the update. The installation process is completed after the device restarts.

Although it is quite stable, this is still a test version so there may be errors during use. Samsung plans to expand One UI 8 Beta to other markets soon, before releasing a stable version in the near future.
