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.
