Samsung announced the release of the stable Android 16-based One UI 8 version this month, beginning with the Galaxy S25 series. Since the update could arrive anytime soon, a recent report is certainly making us think that another beta is on the way for S25 models.
It’s been a very long time since the current Galaxy S25 series has been testing the One UI 8 beta program; also, the company has released six beta builds for the S25 family. Meanwhile, it appears like Samsung is planning to drop one more beta build before heading towards the stable release.
Basically, spotted by the tipster, Tarun Vats, on X, Samsung is perhaps looking towards releasing One UI 8 Beta 7 for the Galaxy S25 series before moving forward for the stable rollout. An all-new beta build for the S25 models has been spotted on Samsung’s test servers, carrying the ZYI3 build number.
However, such builds are only developed for testing, and it’s not important that Samsung could release the latest build publicly to all the users. Also, it’s quite strange that the company will perhaps be releasing the seventh beta for the S25 family, and on the comparison side, the Galaxy S24 series only received six beta builds last time.
Well, it still remains to be seen whether Samsung sticks to releasing another beta or goes for a stable rollout. At the same time, a schedule has been revealed, suggesting the timeline for when your Galaxy devices will be getting the latest One UI 8 stable update. With that in mind, the newly launched Galaxy Tab S11 series joins the Z Fold 7, Flip 7, Flip FE, and S25 FE models that arrived with the stable One UI 8 pre-installed.
