Samsung's One UI 8 Introduces Major Quick Share Redesign

Samsung released the One UI 8 beta for Galaxy S25 series phones in South Korea starting May 2025, introducing an updated Quick Share feature.
Delays and stops in the official launch occurred after One UI 7, prompting Samsung to accelerate the One UI 8 beta and revise the initial schedule to avoid past mistakes.
One UI 8, based on Android 16, offers refinements including improved Quick Share with Bluetooth Auracast, full-screen file transfer, QR code support, a new Reminder app, and Secure Folder enhancements.
The beta firmware version S9x8NKSU3ZYER includes a 3.3GB update with the May 2025 security patch and requires both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for Quick Share connectivity, upgrading the user experience.
The One UI 8 beta is expected to expand to Germany, UK, and the US soon, with the full release likely around July and initial rollout on Samsung foldables during summer 2025.
