It has been nothing but expected that Samsung would release One UI 8 for more Galaxy Watch models beyond the brand-new shiny ones, but little information was available until now. Samsung announced that more Galaxy Watch devices will soon see the One UI 8 beta, but we have questions.<\/p>\n
One UI 8 for the Galaxy Watch initially rolled out with the Galaxy Watch 8 series<\/a>, which includes the base model, Watch 8 Classic<\/a>, and Samsung\u2019s new 2025 Galaxy Watch Ultra. All three models carry new features, including Samsung\u2019s new tile system and several health updates. The OS, based on Wear OS 6, has been accepted as a welcome improvement on Samsung\u2019s coalition OS with Google.<\/p>\n According to Samsung, One UI 8 is expanding to more Galaxy Watch models<\/a> beyond the new ones. This much we knew, but the company laid out a vague timeline alongside the expected announcement. One UI 8 will come to other Galaxy Watch models \u201clater this year.\u201d<\/p>\n This could mean tomorrow, or it could mean December 31. There\u2019s no telling when Samsung plans to release the One UI version to other models, but it won\u2019t be too long considering we are approaching the end of the year.<\/p>\n \tAdvertisement – scroll for more content<\/p>\n Further, Samsung didn\u2019t specify which models would get One UI 8 stable. We can assume that the devices that Samsung previously noted would see the update, including all models down to the Galaxy Watch 4. It was initially thought the Galaxy Watch 4 wouldn\u2019t receive the change, though Samsung has slightly extended its life with the push.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking to get your hands on One UI 8 right now, the Watch 8 series offers that opportunity. Otherwise, you\u2019ll need to wait an unconfirmed amount of time. Trade-ins are still fair if you go the Galaxy Watch 8 route, though they aren\u2019t as good as they were during the pre-order phase. The Watch 8 starts at $349<\/a>.<\/p>\n
