Galaxy S25 One UI 8 update may have already gone stable!

Well, we didn't see this coming: Samsung already has a stable One UI 8 update for the Galaxy S25 series, or at least a firmware build that isn't a beta version! There's no guarantee that this update will be the one released as the stable One UI 8 update to the masses, but it can be considered a release candidate and tells us that the software is now good enough to no longer need the beta tag.

We are downloading and installing this update as we write this and will let you know what we find, but fair warning: it likely isn't going to be much different from the latest beta builds, so you should keep your excitement in check.

The newest One UI 8 build for the Galaxy S25 Ultra sports the build number BYFB, where the B at the beginning tells us this is not a beta firmware, as beta firmware would have a Z in that position. Again, this may not be released to the public, but the fact that Samsung has switched back to a non-beta build number designation suggests that we're closer to the official One UI 8 release than ever.
