TL;DR
- Samsung has begun rolling out the second One UI 8 beta for the Galaxy S25 series.
- The second beta is available to users in South Korea, UK and Germany, but the program has also expanded to India.
- We’ve not yet heard reports about users in the US getting the second beta update, even though they were part of the first wave of release.
The second One UI 8 beta build for the Galaxy S25 series (h/t Tarun Vats) is 1.2GB in size over the first update, and has the version number S938NKSU4ZYF3/ S938NOKR4ZYF3/S938NKSU4BYF3, depending on the region. This update is rolling out to users in South Korea, the UK, and Germany.
We’re also seeing reports that users in India can now enroll in the beta program. However, we aren’t yet seeing reports from users in the US for this update, though we reckon they will also receive the update very soon as they were part of the first wave of releases.
