It’s quite impressive that Samsung is progressing with One UI 8 so rapidly, and perhaps this could be possible due to adopting Google’s Trunk Stable development model. With an official release scheduled for the next month, the One UI 8 Beta 5 update just landed for the Galaxy S25 series in a few selective regions. Here’s what all the changelog says!
Samsung dropped Android 16-based One UI 8 Beta 5 for Galaxy S25 owners who had earlier participated in the previous Beta 4 release a few weeks ago. The latest software for the S25 models holds a detectable version number, ZYH6.
Most prominently, Samsung’s One UI beta program is the perfect opportunity for testing and experiencing all the latest features and changes ahead of the stable release.Specifically, being a beta update, the fifth beta of the One UI 8 version apparently brings a bunch of bug fixes and other key improvements in order to provide smooth performance and functionality to the users.
At the same time, exploring the changelog more deeply, the newest beta update significantly fixes errors when connecting to a hotspot, fixes the lock screen clock issue, fixes S Pen Air command errors, fixes the overlapping issue of quick settings over notifications, fixes capturing the screen in the Secure Folder, fixes the moon appearing purple issue, fixes the Now Brief content disappearing issue, and brings stability for multiple app updates.
Also, above all, the newest update further integrates the latest August 2025 security patch that strengthens overall system security while also providing a more secure user experience. Well, the Galaxy S25 series has just received yet another beta version; it’s possible that Samsung is preparing to release a stable One UI 8 version the next time.
