Samsung has released another One UI 8.5 beta update for the Galaxy S25 series. It is the seventh beta update since the company opened the One UI 8.5 Beta Program for its phones a few months ago.

The update comes with a firmware version ending in ZZC7 and has a download size of 965.84MB. It includes the February 2026 security patch instead of the latest monthly security patch.
