Beta One UI 8 Preparation

I have to give them credit for releasing a beta so fast. This is the fastest I can remember them releasing a beta with the newest version of Android in years. Hope this is a sign of great things to come.
Definitely the fastest but the rumors were after One UI 7 failure that they would bring one UI 8 very fast and they did it just waiting on my Fold 6 to join
 
I've been running the beta for over 24 hours now and everything is working just like it did before. I does feel a little faster and I'm really surprised on how stable the first beta version seems to be. I was initially concerned that I'd have issues with Google Wallet and Ticket Master however they both seem to be working fine.
Same and battery life feels better than one UI 7

I took my chances and installed UI 8 this morning, so far, everything is working flawless, fast, and at least on my S25U, very stable. The Tesla App works fine, key is connected to the car and is working fine, just like before. I have the feeling that One UI 8 beta is the stable One UI 7.
 
Thanks @bhatech for that screenshot. I clicked so quick I only saw 'Unlocked' and was questioning why my T-Mobile device got through.

My guess on why only T-Mobile is included because they alter device ROMs, not just Samsung, the least if at all out of the big three.

Observations:
New Default USB-Mode = from MTP to Charging (smart security decision)
Surprisingly, a lot is working.
- Immediate Google Play System update available.
- GoodLock and most modules** a lot of modules
- Clock looks fixed

Not Working:
- My theme, not behaving the same as OneUI7 which was altered because it didn't work right there EITHER. Can't get the transparency to go away. Bug?
- No NavStar, QuickStar,NotiStar,MultiStar. **Discovering that while not grayed out, HomeUp doesn't work, sure others don't either but haven't checked them all
- DPI seems off. The font seems to look zoomed in some places and normal in others,
