You can join Samsung's One UI 8 Beta programme by signing up for it via the Samsung Members app. However, not all of the regions will receive the same features and they might vary depending on the country or region the user resides in, as per the tech giant.
Enrolled users can help improve the software stability by reporting any potential issues they encounter during their time using their beta software. Apart from this, they can also experience the new UX and contribute to improving the Galaxy experience by providing suggestions via the Samsung Members app.
