I thought losing Flex Mode would ruin the Galaxy Z Fold 8 — I was completely wrong
Samsung's new hinge really does make up for it.
Samsung has rolled out the second One UI 9 Watch beta update for the Galaxy Watch 8 series, addressing a frustrating AOD bug that displayed incorrect time. The update, version ZZI1, is currently available to Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch 8 Classic users in South Korea who have enrolled in the beta program.
Alongside fixing the AOD issue, the beta update also includes improvements to the Health insights, watch face customization options, and safety tools. Samsung is continuing to refine the Wear OS 7-based software that powers the Galaxy Watch series, with the September 2026 security patch included in this release to provide users with a more secure baseline. Samsung's efforts to improve stability and functionality in the latest software release precede the wider availability of the software update.
