Considering Samsung has announced the One UI 8 stable version will be released in September, this should be the last or second-to-last beta for the Galaxy S25 series. The One UI 8 beta kicked off in May, and while users are still waiting for stable Android 16, it seems Samsung is taking its time to make the new version as stable as possible.
One UI 8 is set to bring new features to Galaxy devices, including more supported apps for Now Bar, a new 90:10 split screen feature, a redesigned Reminders app, and more.
