Step 1: Open the Samsung Members app and log in to your Samsung account.
Step 2: Scroll down to find the One UI 8 beta banner and tap it.
Step 3: Follow the on-screen steps to complete your registration.
Once registered, simply wait for the beta to become available in India. When it does, head to Settings > Software Update, download the beta, and install it to start exploring the new features, refreshed design, and improved security.
Do keep in mind that beta software can sometimes be unstable, so it’s a good idea to back up your data before installing. For more updates like this, stay tuned to Unboxed by Croma.
