Samsung has started rolling out the One UI 8.5 Beta 7 update for the Galaxy S25 series in the US. The update has been available earlier for users in South Korea and is now reaching beta testers in the US. This new beta version mainly fixes bugs and improves the overall experience before the final stable release.

One UI 8.5 Beta 7 update for the Galaxy S25 series comes with a firmware version that ends with ZZC7 in the US. Like most beta updates, this release does not bring many new features. Instead, it fixes issues reported by users in previous beta versions.

Samsung has fixed several problems in this update. One important fix is related to calls. Earlier, some users noticed that their phone switched from a voice call to a video call automatically. This issue has now been fixed.

The update also fixes a problem with the Material You color theme. In previous versions, the theme colors did not work properly with Google apps inside Work profiles and Secure Folder. Gmail also had a bug in dark mode where the search bar was hard to see. Both problems have now been solved.

Samsung also fixed issues in the Gallery app. The app sometimes crashed when users tried to start a new project. Exporting photos or videos from a private album also failed for some users, but the problem has now been fixed.

Other fixes include a warning for overheating while using Samsung DeX, improvements to the Weather widget where Fahrenheit temperatures were getting cut off, better Wi-Fi recovery during roaming on some networks, smoother performance in Samsung Messages, and a fix for notifications that were not showing in some cases.

Galaxy S25 users who joined the One UI beta program can download the update by going to Settings >> Software update >> Download and install. Once the update appears on the device, users can install it and enjoy the latest improvements.

Samsung just dropped One UI 8.5 Beta 7 for the Galaxy S25 series, and on paper, it’s their least chaotic Beta in months. Starting in South Korea, the update has been expanded to Germany and India, with US following soon.

One UI 8.5 Beta 7 (PDA: ZZC7) brings eleven targeted fixes that suggest Samsung’s finally stopped breaking things in the rush to ship. Notably, there’s no latest security patch embedded in the Beta 7 release, which looks weird.

What’s new in One UI 8.5 Beta 7

Video calls were switching modes without permission. You’d start a voice call and the phone would just decide you meant video. That’s fixed.

Material You color palette wasn’t syncing to Google apps inside Work and Secure Folders. Gmail’s dark mode search field was invisible. The Gallery app was crashing when you tried starting new projects. Private album exports were failing outright.

DeX users were getting no warning when their phone overheated. Weather widget was clipping Fahrenheit temps when you added cities. Wi-Fi recovery during roaming with certain access points supporting Multiple BSSID was failing.

Samsung Messages was stuttering badly when you first opened unread inboxes. Notifications weren’t displaying under specific conditions. There’s a KT carrier fix in here for a service called WhoWho – limited to Korean models.

A significant portion mentions improvements for Android’s GMS, such as Material You. What’s striking is the absence of new features.

After three months of testing and six prior Betas, that’s where Samsung landed. The S26 series shipped with stable One UI 8.5, and the S25 lineup is still in Beta in March.

People who actually bought last year’s flagship are still testing software that’s already shipping on new phones. This way, Stable won’t hit the S25 series until at least late March, maybe April.
