The latest Android 16 build targets lock‑screen, font, and Bluetooth glitches while testing expands and Samsung details which foldables are in line for the upgrade.

Overview

  • Beta 7 for the Galaxy S25 series (build ending ZYI3, ~600MB) is rolling out in Germany, South Korea, the UK, and India with fixes for Bluetooth audio, lock‑screen clock behavior, and font rendering issues.
  • Reports point to a mid‑to‑late September stable release for the S25 lineup, including dates like September 18 and 25, but Samsung has not confirmed any official schedule.
  • The Galaxy S24 series received One UI 8 Beta 3 in South Korea, addressing the drifting lock‑screen clock, stretched and thin fonts, and a disappearing lock‑screen quick icon.
