The latest beta release for the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra carries firmware build version ZZC7 and weighs nearly 1GB (exact file size varies depending on the model and region). The package still bundles the February 2026 security patch instead of the March version.

As far as the changes are concerned, Beta 7 brings plenty. Samsung’s release notes mention as many as ten bug fixes. The update contains fixes for proximity sensor issues, dark mode, Gallery, Samsung DeX, Weather widget, Wi-Fi, Samsung Messages app, notifications, and more. You can see the full changelog below:
