It is soon expected to make its way to other handsets too, with beta testing ongoing. According to a report, the One UI 8 Beta 4 for the Galaxy S25 series was spotted on the tech giant&#8217;s test server. However, one of the new features, which was seen on the previous test builds of the firmware, is allegedly missing from the latest update.<\/p>\n<p>One UI Beta 4 Update<\/p>\n<p>According to tipster Tarun Vats&#8217; post on X (formerly Twitter), an internal test build of <a class=\"sp_lnk2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gadgets360.com\/tags\/one-ui-8\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">One UI 8<\/a>\u00a0Beta 4 was spotted on Samsung&#8217;s server for the Galaxy S25 series. It was listed with the identifier ZYG5 and is approximately 1319.27MB in size. The update allegedly has one of the following build numbers:<\/p>\n<p>\tS938BXXU5ZYG5\tS938BOXM5ZYG5\tS938BXXU5BYG5<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Breaking \u203c\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>Galaxy S25 Series: A new One UI 8 beta build has been spotted on the test server.<\/p>\n<p>ZYFA \u27a1\ufe0f ZYG5 (1319.27 MB)<br \/>Build Version: S938BXXU5ZYG5\/S938BOXM5ZYG5\/S938BXXU5BYG5<\/p>\n<p>Beta 4 incoming \ud83d\ude0d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mri3GpGn60\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/mri3GpGn60<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tarun Vats (@tarunvats33) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tarunvats33\/status\/1945681364776599575?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">July 17, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Following its discovery, <a class=\"sp_lnk2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/new-one-ui-8-beta-for-galaxy-s25-removes-features-delays-final-release\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SamMobile reported<\/a> that some features that were seen in the previous BYFB build of One UI 8 Beta are missing from the latest version.<\/p>\n<p>A notable omission is Adaptive Lock Screen Clock. It is a dynamic clock widget that automatically adjusts to the shape of the subject in your wallpaper. The clock wraps around the main subject, such as a person or a pet, for better aesthetics while maintaining its visibility.<\/p>\n<p>The report speculates that this feature is still expected to make it to the public build of One UI 8 for the Samsung Galaxy S25 series. However, its disappearance from the upcoming beta 4 build suggests that work on the update may not be finished and it is not ready for rollout, with the tech giant still having to iron out some bugs.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE ship with One UI 8. The rest, such as the flagship Galaxy S25 series and other phones, run on Android 15-based One UI 7. The update is expected to make its way to other Galaxy smartphones later this year.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Samsung released its Android 16-based operating system (OS) dubbed One UI 8 with its latest Galaxy Z series&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8519,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[2306,5216,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-8518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-mobile","tag-one-ui-8-beta-4-update-galaxy-s25-series-samsung-android-16-report-one-ui-8","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8518","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8518"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8518\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
