Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 Receives Second One UI 8 Beta Update


Samsung continues to refine its foldable flagship experience with the release of One UI 8 Beta 2 for the Galaxy Z Fold6. This update, based on Android 16, follows closely after the Galaxy Z Flip6’s second beta and brings bug fixes and performance improvements to the larger foldable.

The new update carries firmware version F956BXXU2ZYHB and requires a download of about 930MB. It also includes the September 2025 Android security patch, making sure your device stays protected while you test the latest software.

The update fixes several known bugs from the first beta, aiming to improve overall stability. Samsung users in India are currently receiving the update, and it is expected to roll out to more regions in the coming days.

Testing beta software or upgrading to a major new release like One UI 8 often requires a clean installation — and that means backing up your data. This is where Smart Transfer can make your life easier.
