Updated Spill: What You Absolutely Need to Know About One UI 8 Beta 2
The second beta version of Samsung's One UI 8 operating system is distributed among Galaxy S25 series devices in various locations worldwide.
Let's dive right in! The cat's outta the bag - Samsung's cracked open the gate for the second beta of their mentality-altering One UI 8 update. This ain't your grandpa's Android - it's Androids 16, baby!
First, the second beta wave is hitting the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra like gangbusters in local hotspots like Germany, South Korea, Poland, the UK, and India. Keep your eyes peeled because it's on!
What's so special about this specific round of upgrades? For starters, it's bringing new features, beefing up security, and squashing more bugs than a squashed bug convention. As for the nitty-gritty, think:
- Text to Image - integrating Galaxy AI magic straight into that Samsung Keyboard you love so much.
- Feedback enhancement - because who doesn't want better interpreter performance?
- Bug squashing - bye-bye text alignment issues with Now Brief, adios fingerprint unlock errors, and goodbye bugs that have been plaguing the Galaxy AI, Clock app, and camera app.
And the cherry on top? It's the June 2025 security patch - for all you security buffs out there!

In case you're interested in what's happening globally, the first beta is now sweeping through India and Poland as well, via a hefty 3.6GB update that's blowing everyone's minds with the June 2025 security patch[2].
Now, here's the 411 on Samsung's plans for the future: The final version of One UI 8/Android 16 will drop with the Z foldables, and you can expect the Galaxy S25 series to receive it shortly thereafter[1]. Stick around, folks - there's more to come!
