Please refrain from mentioning anything… I was anticipating the stable update as well.
Essential Information
- Samsung is allegedly initiating the rollout of its seventh One UI 8.5 beta for the Galaxy S25 series in South Korea, India, and Germany.
- As the U.S. awaits this update, the company is addressing almost 1GB worth of issues affecting the devices, including a calling glitch that mistakenly turns regular calls into video chats.
- The Galaxy S26 series received its initial update immediately following its launch, which solely included security enhancements.
If you’re sensing a collective groan, it’s because Samsung has been observed launching yet another One UI 8.5 beta.
A report from SamMobile indicates that Samsung has begun the rollout of One UI 8.5 Beta 7 to select international regions late this week. According to the report, the firm’s seventh beta has been identified in South Korea, India, and Germany. This beta pertains to the Galaxy S25 series, as the company continues to address a number of problems that arose since Beta 6. Users can expect to download vZZC7 upon its arrival in the U.S.
While I am truly, incredibly disheartened by Samsung’s decision to release a seventh beta (I’m exaggerating), these are serious concerns. It would be quite concerning if One UI 8.5 reached the Galaxy S25 series with a calling issue like this. One moment you’re using voice, and the next, “why is my camera activated?” I understand.
The changelog is fairly significant. Samsung indicates that the complete patch is around ~980MB, making the fixes quite noteworthy as we approach the 1GB threshold. The company mentions it’s implementing a solution for calls, where the proximity sensor could fail, turning user voice calls into video calls. A color palette issue with GMS apps in the work/security folder is also being addressed.
