Overview

  • Beta 5 is live for Galaxy S25 and S24 in select regions, carrying firmware ZYH6 at about 1.7–1.78GB with the August 2025 security patch.
  • Samsung’s changelog lists wide-ranging fixes, including the 100x zoom camera issue that tinted the moon purple, hotspot errors, S Pen Air Command exceptions, and Quick Settings overlaps.
  • A Galaxy A36 beta build (A366EXXU4ZYH3) appeared on Samsung’s servers as the model prepares to join public testing in September in select countries.
  • Internal testing for the Galaxy S23 Ultra surfaced with firmware S918BXXU8ZYH7, and an S25 Edge build (BYH7) includes One UI 8 with the September 2025 patch, hinting at no Edge-specific delay.
  • Samsung has confirmed the stable One UI 8 rollout starts in September for the S25 series, with reporting suggesting a routine early-month security update could push the public release to the second or third week.
