This is from someone who follows very closely and hardly get info wrong. "Hey Galaxy S25 Fam 👋

Something feels off 👀

For the last two test builds, ZZAF beta isn’t showing up for the US.
Instead, One UI 8.5 stable builds (CZAF) are appearing.

At the same time, ZZAF beta builds are still live for regions like India, Korea, and Germany.

Did Samsung scrap Beta 4 at the last moment and jump straight to a stable One UI 8.5 rollout?
If yes, honestly… that’s a solid move.

But here’s the twist:
I’ve also heard from my sources that Beta 4 might drop today

So yeah… even I’m confused right now 😅"

Nope, we're stuck on beta 3 until the S26 releases in February.

From what I've seen, B4 should be dropping in the next couple weeks cause they integrated the Feb26 sec patch into it, on top of the new Linux kernel and Bixby/Perplexity update

The last beta build that dropped was ZZA3, back on 12/5. I have not seen anything stating the stable builds are appearing anywhere since they'll wait to push the stable version until the S26 series is launched

Correction on date 1/5, not 12/5

Checkfirm reports CZAF stable version appearing on servers

That's probably for the S26

One can edit their initial comments instead of adding the intended edit as a reply. Click on the "Options" on the web view, or click on the three vertical dots on the top right when in one's own comment or OP.

No, C builds are for the S25's stable 8.5
On the S26's it'll be A builds

It's definitely for the s25. If you've used checkfirm you'd know you're only showed info directly related to the device being used.

I'm just looking to try the automatic call screening like Pixel has. Any word?
