I'll start with this.

Beta 2 Recap
1.mostly stable software build like beta 1.
2.good lock modules still unavailable until prime time (official One UI 8 release or later just like One UI 7).
3.battery life & idle standby is just okay,drains faster than my s23 fe/flip 5.
4.performance & efficiency is still good overall.
5.camera app shakes crazy after switching to 5x and 10x zoom. Pictures overall 80% hit and 20% miss.

Beta 3 Review 
1.still mostly stable software build like beta 2.
2.good lock modules still unavailable,go figure.
3.battery life/idle standby went from okay to decent. (5am wake up 100%,4:15pm as of now 22% today.)
4.camera app & expert raw camera app both shake crazy after 5x and 10x zoom. Pictures overall 75% hit and 25% miss. Autofocus and stabilization issue needs fixing.
5. Still good performance and efficiency overall.
6. Camera app needs some fine tuning in picture quality, haven't seen a software update for the camera system since the S25 series has been released. Expert raw got 3, regular camera app 0. Samsung let's fix these issues.
7.and lastly, everything listed here has just been my current experience with One UI 8 beta. Not everyone has the same issues or similarities as me, food for thought.

Until next update enjoy.

No camera shake at all for me. Good lock modules working fine, the general ones except Home Up. Don't know about the rest of the junk ones.

6. Beta 3, every camera shakes if you shooting holding camera in your hands, even with stabilizer on. I have Nikon Z6III and with zoom x10 if I'm not using tripod or some kind rest for my arms is hard to take very clear picture. With 75/25 hit/miss you got pretty good ratio. I usually take 5-10 pictures of the same object to have 1 good picture. Try pictures from tripod and delay shutter with lower iso in daylight and higher iso in the dark.

I'm not sure about every smartphone camera shakes in hands, don't have this issue with xiaomi & pixel phones or my flip 5/s23 fe. Beta 1 didn't have this problem, Beta 2 introduced the issue and Beta 3 spread the issue to expert raw app. Anything from 75-80% hit is good ratio in picture quality. Still the camera app needs some software tuning,not a whole lot just some fine tuning overall. Takes great pictures but not excellent tier level compared to my other flagship phones.

Not real big on Nikon cameras,I only use smartphone flagship ones. A simple camera update is required for this issue, nothing more.
