Samsung One UI 8 Beta 5 update fixes Galaxy S25 hotspot and 100x zoom camera issues

Samsung’s latest update for the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra is One UI 8 Beta 5 (ZYH6). It’s a 1.7GB download that adds the August 2025 security patch and tackles a bunch of nagging bugs, making things feel smoother as the stable Android 16 release gets closer. Key issues resolved include:

• Persistent hotspot connection errors
• Quick Settings panel visibility problems and overlapping with notifications
• Lock screen clock shrinking unexpectedly
• S Pen Air Command exceptions
• Secure Folder screen capture errors
• Purple tint issue when capturing the moon at 100x zoom
• Do Not Disturb initialization problems
• Now Brief briefing content disappearing

Samsung also lists broader software stabilization through multiple app updates, improving overall system performance.

While this release is largely focused on fixes, One UI 8 itself introduces new features such as AI-powered assistance (Now Bar, Now Brief), Auracast connectivity for Bluetooth LE Audio, a redesigned Reminder app, enhanced travel planning tools, and streamlined Quick Share file transfers.

The beta program, initially limited to the Galaxy S25 lineup, has expanded to the Galaxy S24 series and Z Fold/Flip 6, with more devices including the Galaxy S23 and A-series expected soon. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S21 and S22 families are set to receive the stable release directly.

The update is currently available in select regions including Germany, Korea, the UK, and the US, with Samsung aiming to extend coverage to 36 countries worldwide.
