Samsung has rolled out the One UI 8 Beta 2 update for the Galaxy S24 lineup, bringing a fresh Galaxy AI feature and several bug fixes. The update is live in the UK and continues Samsung’s effort to refine its 2025 flagship series.
One UI 8 Beta 2 is now live for the Galaxy S24 series
The new beta update is available for the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra. It comes with firmware version S928BXXU4ZYHB, weighs in at about 930MB, and includes the September 2025 security patch.
That patch enhances device security, while the rest of the update focuses on stability and fixes for reported issues.

It’s meant to surface relevant information exactly when you need it, making the Galaxy AI experience feel more integrated into daily use.
