The final countdown for One UI 8, Samsung’s Android 16 firmware for Galaxy devices, is on. The company has just released the One UI 8 Beta 6 update for its Galaxy S25 series, which feels less like a test and more like the last stretch before the finish line. After all, the company already confirmed that the stable rollout will begin sometime in September.
One UI 8 Beta 6 for Samsung’s Galaxy S25 lineup is all about bug fixes
Samsung labels this particular update with a firmware version ending in 5ZYHB/5BYHB. Don’t expect to find flashy new features here. Instead, it’s a mission to fix bugs and smooth out the user experience. The changelog reads like a checklist of common frustrations, all of which have now been addressed. Annoying glitches, like lock screen notifications that only showed app icons or keyboard suggestions that disappeared after a reboot, have been resolved. The update even fixes some of the more specific, niche problems, like a character truncation bug in a personal data widget and display errors with the clock.
Beyond the bug fixes, this beta brings an important security boost: the September 2025 security patch. This ensures that the Galaxy S25 is protected against the latest threats.
While this beta is focused on stability, it’s worth remembering what’s potentially on the horizon. There have been hints about useful new features that may arrive with the final version of One UI 8. Rumors point to an upgraded “Audio Eraser” that can automatically remove unwanted background noise from videos. You could also find a “Call Captions” feature that provides real-time captions for phone calls.
With the public release expected in September, this beta is the last chance to fine-tune the software. If you’re a beta participant, your feedback through the Samsung Members app is more valuable than ever. Regardless, One UI 8 Beta 6 for the Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup may already feel almost like the stable version.
