Samsung has rolled out a new software update for the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S24 lineups, and if you’re hoping this brings the much-anticipated One UI 8.0, you’re in for a letdown. Unfortunately, this latest update is just another routine monthly security patch.
Latest Security Patch Arrives in Korea
The Galaxy S24 series (excluding the FE model) and the entire Galaxy S25 lineup are currently receiving the July 2025 security patch. This marks the first time Samsung devices have received this particular security update, with the rollout initially launching in Korea. Samsung typically follows this pattern with a broader international release expected before the end of the week.
This monthly update focuses primarily on enhancing device security rather than introducing new features or the anticipated One UI 8.0 interface that users have been eagerly awaiting.
Build Numbers and Download Instructions
How to Identify Your Update
Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra users can identify this security update by looking for build number AYF6. Meanwhile, Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra owners should look for build number BYF1 when the update becomes available on their devices.
Download Process
To download and install this security update, follow these simple steps:
- Open your phone’s Settings menu
- Navigate to Software update
- Tap the “Download and install” button
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation
What About One UI 8.0?
While this update doesn’t bring One UI 8.0, there’s still reason to be optimistic about its arrival. Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, both of which run One UI 8.0 out of the box. This suggests that the next major software update for existing devices, particularly the Galaxy S25 series, could very well include the new interface.
However, it’s worth tempering expectations. Samsung has been somewhat unpredictable with One UI release schedules throughout this year, making it difficult to pinpoint exactly when existing users will receive the upgrade.
The Galaxy S25 series, being Samsung’s newest flagship lineup, will likely be among the first existing devices to receive One UI 8.0 when it becomes available for older models. The Galaxy S24 series should follow shortly after, given Samsung’s typical update priority system.
For now, users will need to be content with improved security features and bug fixes that come with these monthly patches. While not as exciting as a major interface overhaul, these updates are crucial for maintaining device security and stability.
