One UI 8 Beta Eligibility?

[herbielover98]

I see people online posting about the One UI 8 beta on their S24s in the US and was wondering why I'm not seeing it on mine? I thought it was for unlocked and T-Mobile devices? I'm on a T-Mobile S24 and haven't seen anything in the Members app yet, the only beta I'm seeing is for my watch

Now that the S24 is second level for Beta, T-Mobile devices aren't included. Strictly unlocked only. If you had the S25, then the T-Mobile phones are included. Next year, the T-Mobile S25s will be left out and only the T-Mobile S26s would get the beta.

Thank you! NOBODY could give me a solid answer lol. Odd that I never saw the option for the first beta either but oh well lol

@herbielover98 I'm guessing the model name of your device ends in "U". When they specify unlocked they mean the factory unlocked models with model names ending in "U1".

Yea, but originally from posts online it said unlocked and T-Mobile devices were eligible

For the S25s that's was true, but not for the S24s.

I've clicked on the join tab every day for a few weeks with 0 luck of getting in on the beta for one ui 8. Why is it so difficult. S25 Ultra / AT&T

AT&T doesn't participate in Samsung betas. Same with Verizon.
