Samsung has released One UI 8 Beta 2 for the Galaxy Z Fold6. It brings key fixes that make the foldable smoother and more reliable. Users testing the beta will notice fewer bugs and better stability. All signs point to Samsung preparing for the big stable update soon.
What Update Is This?
The new beta is for the Galaxy Z Fold6 (model SM-F956B, global variant) and is labeled with firmware build F956BXXU2ZYHB. The “ZYHB” confirms it as a beta build. The update is rolling out first in India (INS region), but because it is part of Samsung OXM multi-CSC package, it will work across other supported markets as the rollout expands.
- Android version: 16
- One UI version: 8.0
- Package size: 928.26 MB
- Security patch level: September 1, 2025
- CSC/Modem build: CSC – F956BOXM2ZYHB | Modem – F956BXXU2CYHB
After installation, Samsung apps can be updated separately via the Galaxy Store to ensure compatibility with the new beta.
Bugs Fixed in Beta 2
Samsung has officially listed the following fixes in this release:
- Applied September security patch
- Fixed Android Auto disconnection issue
- Fixed cover screen widget error
- Fixed camera preview disconnection issue
- Fixed zoom operation issue during Flex Mode video shooting
- Fixed icon overlap in the multi-window pop-up folder
- Fixed an issue where only icons were shown on the lock screen when notifications arrived

Together, these adjustments bring smoother behavior for commuters using Android Auto, creators using Flex Mode, and multitaskers who rely on Samsung windowed apps.
Smarter Now Brief
Beyond bug fixes, Samsung has enhanced its Now Brief feature with “Listen Brief”, which can read out summaries and even recommend YouTube content. It is part of Samsung’s growing Galaxy AI suite, designed to make multitasking on the Fold6 more natural and hands-free.
Where It’s Rolling Out
The update is currently confirmed in India and South Korea, with other regions expected soon. Tipster Tarun Vats shared screenshots confirming the build and file size, which match Samsung official release notes. Users in the beta program should see the OTA update when Samsung opens availability in their country.
How to Get the Update
If you are enrolled in the beta program, you can install the update manually. Simply go to Settings » Software update » Download and install on your Galaxy Z Fold6. Make sure your phone has enough battery and is connected to Wi-Fi, as the file size is about 928 MB.
Stable Release Timeline
Samsung has confirmed that the stable One UI 8 update will begin in September 2025, starting with the Galaxy S25 lineup. The Galaxy Z Flip6, and Galaxy S24 series are expected to follow shortly after possibly before the end of September if beta testing remains on schedule.
The Fold6 lives on multitasking and screen-switching fluidity. Fixes for Flex Mode video, camera preview, and Android Auto are small but meaningful improvements that make the phone feel more reliable. With AI-driven features like the upgraded Now Brief also joining the mix, Beta 2 is more than a patch it is Samsung fine-tuning the Fold6 for a smooth stable rollout in just a few weeks.
