Samsung Releases One UI 8 Beta 4 for Galaxy S25 Series with Key Enhancements

Samsung has released the fourth beta version of its One UI 8 software for the Galaxy S25 series, bringing several enhancements and bug fixes. This update introduces an emergency update feature for the Samsung IMS Service, supporting high-quality voice, video, and enhanced chat services. Additionally, it enables full-screen video playback when using Samsung DeX.

The beta addresses multiple issues, including operational errors with Galaxy AI Reply Suggestions, loading problems with Bixby routine commands triggered via voice, and display anomalies in the quick launch icon area on the lock screen. It also resolves editing issues with iNavi dashcam videos in the Gallery app, incorrect 'Fingerprint sensor not responding' messages on the lock screen, and outgoing call failures when using 'Swipe to Call' from the Contacts list with TalkBack enabled. Furthermore, it fixes flickering issues of the vertical/horizontal level gauge when switching between front and rear cameras.

Users in Germany, South Korea, and India have begun receiving the update, with availability expected to expand to the US and UK shortly. To participate in the beta program, users can enroll through the Samsung Members app and check for updates via Settings > Software update > Download and Install.

This release marks a significant step toward the stable rollout of One UI 8, anticipated in the coming months.
