Samsung is steadily pushing One UI 8 closer to its stable release. The company has now rolled out the fifth beta update for the Galaxy S25 series, packed with a bunch of bug fixes and system stability improvements. While it’s technically the fourth beta for markets like India, Germany, and the UK, it’s the fifth One UI 8 beta overall for the Galaxy S25 lineup.
