The Galaxy S8 or S8 Plus phones, which continue to be two of the company’s flagships, are currently hanging the “shortly” sign. The latter, for example, have already received their usual security update, which corrects a dozen vulnerabilities, but no date has been specified with which the jump to the new operating system will also be made.

This same Friday Samsung made public a video in which boasted of the news that presented the new OneUI running under Android 9 Pie- the layer is much more minimalist, has a night mode, new animations that provide smoothness to the devices as well as a new area of notifications, and what will be of interest to many, a new management of the battery.

How to update Android 9 Pie with OneUI on a Samsung mobile?
It is very simple. Samsung requires that its users be enrolled in the One UI Beta Program. Countries like China, France, Germany, India, Poland, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States can now test the beta versions of OneUI.
Just download the Samsung Members application from your app store
How? If you enjoy a compatible device (for now Samsung Galaxy S9 or Samsung Galaxy Note 9) you only have to download an application either in Galaxy Apps or in the Google Store (Play Store). Find the application ‘Samsung Members‘, like the one that appears in the image, and install it.
Once downloaded, click on ‘News’ and select ‘Registration in the OneUI beta program’. Once done, go to the Settings tab of your device, and in Software Update check the box ‘Manual download of updates’.
