Samsung has initiated the rollout of the fifth One UI 8 beta for Galaxy S25 devices in select regions. The update, identified by firmware version ending in ZYH6, addresses several reported issues and includes the August 2025 security patch. The update package is approximately 1.79GB in size.
The beta release is currently being deployed in the United States, the United Kingdom, India, Korea, and Germany. Users in these regions can access the update through the device’s settings menu. Specifically, the update can be located under the “Software Update” section, followed by tapping “Download and install”.
A prominent fix included in this update resolves an anomaly affecting the device’s camera functionality. Reports surfaced last week indicating that when capturing images of the moon at zoom levels exceeding 30x, a purple hue would manifest in the resulting photograph. This issue has been addressed in the fifth One UI 8 beta release and users should no longer observe this coloration.
Beyond the camera-related correction, the update incorporates a series of additional bug fixes designed to enhance the overall user experience. These fixes target a range of functionalities and system behaviors, addressing concerns reported by users participating in the One UI 8 beta program. Specific issues resolved include:
- Hotspot Connection: Correction of errors encountered when establishing a hotspot connection.
- Lock Screen Clock Size: Resolution of an issue where the clock size on the lock screen would diminish unexpectedly.
- S Pen Air Command: Rectification of exceptions related to the S Pen Air Command feature.
- Quick Settings Window: Correction of an issue preventing the Quick Settings window from appearing.
- Quick Settings/Notification Overlap: Resolution of an overlap issue between the Quick Settings and Notification windows.
- Secure Folder Screen Capture: Rectification of exceptions encountered when capturing screens within applications housed in the secure folder.
- Do Not Disturb Mode: Correction of an issue causing Do Not Disturb Mode settings to reset unexpectedly.
- NowBrief Content: Resolution of an issue causing NowBrief briefing content to disappear.
- System Wide: SW stabilization with multiple App Updates
The inclusion of these fixes, alongside the August 2025 security patch, aims to improve the stability and overall performance of the Galaxy S25 devices running the One UI 8 beta. Samsung is continuing to collect user feedback and address issues as they arise in advance of the final public release.
