With Samsung now enabling Galaxy S25 series owners to test the most recent One UI 8 beta program, starting in its home country of South Korea, One UI 8 will soon be available on your Galaxy phone. You must be wondering how to join the beta phase as soon as it arrives on your device, but here are a few easy actions you can take.

Before the official or stable release, the One UI 8 Beta program is now available for the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra to test out all the newest features and capabilities.

The beta build for the Galaxy S25 family is designated with build number ZYER, while the upgrade may eventually reach additional eligible regions outside of South Korea. Simultaneously, this most recent version improves accessibility, efficiency, and security while also adding some of the main features of Android 16.

Beyond this, this update further includes the ongoing May 2025 security patch that significantly improves the device’s overall security and core functionality.
