In a surprising twist for tech enthusiasts, Samsung's One UI 8 beta program for Galaxy S25 users has closed its doors to new sign-ups in the US just 48 hours after its launch.

The One UI 8 beta kicked off on May 28, offering eager users a first look at the exciting new features. However, that excitement peaked quickly, as Samsung reported reaching its participant limit by the evening of May 29. This rapid closure indicates a soaring demand that surpassed expectations. Typically, such programs remain open for days, if not weeks.

While the fast closure has left many potential testers disappointed, all hope isn’t lost! Tech insiders like SammyGuru suggest that this may not be the final chance to join the beta. A second wave, dubbed Beta 2, is anticipated and could offer another opportunity to sign up as early as next month.

For those curious about what’s in store with One UI 8, the update promises exciting enhancements and features designed to elevate the Galaxy experience.

Stay tuned for further announcements, as Samsung continues to innovate and engage its user base with upcoming releases. Are you on board for the One UI 8 beta, or hoping to join the next wave?
