The Galaxy A55 5G is the only mid-range Samsung phone that got early access to One UI 7 software. The beta program kicked off earlier this month with the first beta release, and now we have the second beta update rolling out amid One UI 7 stable rollout chaos for high-end Galaxy phones.
Samsung is rolling out the second One UI 7 beta update for Galaxy A55 users in India. The update comes with the firmware version A556EXXU7ZYD3 and has a download size of around 336MB. It doesn’t bring new features, but rather includes three bug fixes and many improvements.
According to the changelog, the One UI 7 Beta 2 resolves poor visibility of Google Sports in Now Bar. It also resolves an issue related to the eSIM push notification icon. With the fixes in place, the phone now shows a SIM icon when receiving push notifications about eSIM. The latest beta fixes one more issue that’s related to MMS emoticon, but doesn’t state the changes in detail. The changelog rather mentions “Fix an issue that cannot be attached to MMS emoticon on a particular route.“
Besides these three fixes, Samsung has included the April 2025 security patch to the second beta. The latest security patch addresses dozens of vulnerabilities, enhancing the overall security and privacy (read more about it here). If you have a Galaxy A55 that’s already running One UI 7 beta, check if the second beta is ready for installation by going to Settings > Software updates and hitting the Download and install button.

Samsung took no time in expanding the stable update to more regions, including Europe and the US. However, just as when things started to look promising, the One UI 7 rollout was paused worldwide.
While not going much into the details, Samsung revealed that a critical was found in the One UI 7 Korean build for the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6.

Things aren’t looking promising right now, and with no clear timeline in sight for the One UI 7 resumption, it’s only frustrating Galaxy owners.
