Samsung Galaxy S25 gets seventh One UI 8 beta

Samsung keeps on dragging its feet when it comes to finally releasing the stable One UI 8 update based on Android 16. It's still releasing beta after beta and today the company outed the seventh such build for the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra in Germany, Korea, the UK, and India.

This build ends in ZYI3, and, as you may have expected, fixes a bunch of bugs, including one related to breaking Bluetooth sound, three that affected the lock screen (including clock stutters), one that prevented a font from being applied, and one that displayed some UI elements thinner than they should have been.

This is a ~600MB update and still includes the September 1, 2025 security patch level just as the previous beta did. Hopefully that means the final release is actually coming later this month, as a recent leak told us. We aren't going to be placing any bets, however, given how much Samsung seems to love this prolonged beta testing phase.
