One UI 8 Beta 4 has the Purple Moon issue

One UI 8 Beta 4 was released on July 30th to the beta testers who are using their Galaxy S25 devices (excluding the S25 Edge) to use what would look like in the final version expected to roll out this September. As we’re getting closer to the second half of August, people began reporting a weird case that didn’t happen in both the previous One UI 8.0 beta versions and in One UI 7.0.

According to the official Samsung forums across countries like India, UK, and the USA, people began reporting that they’re trying to take moon shots at high zoom levels, such as x100, while those final pictures showed the purple moon instead of the expected white moon. The real color of the moon is white, but One UI 8.0 Beta 4 seems to save pictures with the purple moon as you can see below.

The following forum entries are posted, but not limited to:

This issue only occurs when people try to take moon shots at zoom levels, with the minimum threshold to trigger this bug is x30. This only occurs under One UI 8 Beta 4 and with moon shots taken starting from the zoom levels of x30 to x100. Additionally, the resulting moon in the pictures looks blurry, compared to their One UI 7 counterparts.

There was even a comparison between shots taken on One UI 8 and One UI 7, where the latter was more correct. Moon shots taken using One UI 7 were correct, because it showed the white moon instead of the purple moon.

As a workaround, you can try turning off the maximum optimization and trying to take moon shots at high zoom levels. You can turn off the maximum optimization by going to the camera settings, navigating to Intelligent optimization, and setting it to values other than Maximum.

We expect that Samsung fixes this issue as soon as possible, before the final version gets distributed.

Where’s the stable One UI 8 Watch for Galaxy Watch7?

Samsung has released the first One UI 8 Watch Beta update for the OG Galaxy Watch Ultra (2024) and the Galaxy Watch7 smartwatches. Since then, we have been seeing updates to the Beta version of the same operating system for both the Galaxy Watch6 and the Watch5 series, while the Galaxy Watch4 was being worked on simultaneously. However, at around July 22nd to 24th, Samsung has released the stable version of One UI 8 Watch for those who have the OG Galaxy Watch Ultra.

Since then, there have been no updates as to when the remaining smartwatches will get the revolutionary update. Also, when we investigated the latest test build information for the Galaxy Watch7 smartwatch, we saw that it’s stuck on the first beta version:

  • SM-L310
    • Beta: L310XXU1ZYFE
    • Stable: L310XXU1BYFE
  • SM-L300
    • Beta: L300XXU1ZYFE
    • Stable: L300XXU1BYFE

Whereas the following smartwatches appear to have their Beta development ongoing:

  • Galaxy Watch6
    • R960XXU1ZYG6
    • R950XXU1ZYG6
    • R940XXU1ZYG6
    • R930XXU1ZYG6

Note that there are no beta builds for One UI 8 Watch yet for the Galaxy Watch5 series, because the test server reveals:

  • Galaxy Watch5
    • R920XXU1DYG6
    • R910XXU1DYG6
    • R900XXU1DYG6

Users in the official Korean Beta boards for the One UI 8 Watch software were wondering if their Galaxy Watch7 smartwatches would get at least the “second beta” for the upcoming operating system that debuted on the Galaxy Watch8 smartwatch series. Posts like this were surfaced, suggesting that people were wondering if their Galaxy Watch7 would be updated to the newer build.

When something similar happened to the One UI 8 Beta Program for the Galaxy S25, an apology was made, and the promised release was made a week after the apology.

We expect that an official clarification be made so that those who have participated in the One UI 8 Watch Beta Program on their Galaxy Watch7 smartwatches can have their expected update soon.

One UI 8 Watch brings a design change to match the upcoming One UI 8 operating system for phones, while using the design aesthetics that come from One UI 7, which was released in April 17th.

Samsung releases the first update for Galaxy Z Fold/Flip7

Samsung has recently released the first update for the brand new foldables released on July 25th, which are the Galaxy Z Fold7 and the Galaxy Z Flip7. The first update for it was surfaced first in Korea with the build number AYG5, then it rolled out to countries like the European countries with the build number AYGG for the Fold7 according to Tarun Vats, or AYGD for the Flip7. It has also been rolled out to the unlocked variant of the Galaxy Z Fold7 in the USA, as well as Canada, with the same build number as the European units.

Also, the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, which is a cheaper version of the Galaxy Z Flip7 fold phone, has been updated with the same software update. However, the rollout wasn’t finished yet for the three foldables, as countries like India still didn’t receive the update until now.

This is the first security update for these new foldables, but it also increases the bootloader version from v1 to v2, so the removal of this update becomes impossible.

The following firmware information has been laid out:

  • Galaxy Z Fold7
    • SM-F966B: F966BXXS2AYGG [EUX]
    • SM-F966U1: F966U1UES2AYGG [XAA]
    • SM-F996W: F966WVLS2AYGG [XAC]
    • SM-F966N: F966NKSS2AYG5 [KOO]
  • Galaxy Z Flip7
    • SM-F766B: F766BXXS2AYGD [EUX]
    • SM-F766U1: F766U1UES2AYGD [XAA]
    • SM-F766W: F766WVLS2AYGD [XAC]
    • SM-F766N: F766NKSS2AYG5 [KOO]
  • Galaxy Z Flip7 FE
    • SM-F761B: F761BXXS2AYG5 [EUX]
    • SM-F761U1: F761U1UES2AYG5 [XAA]
    • SM-F761N: F761NKSS2AYG5 [KOO]

To install this security update, head to Settings > Software update > Download and install. Then, you should see the update screen that tells you that the security of your foldable has been improved. Now, press Download and Install, and the installation should finish in no more than 10 minutes.
