Samsung is expected to begin rolling out the stable One UI 8.5 update starting April 30, beginning with the Galaxy S25 series. The update is currently in beta testing across several Galaxy devices, and we could see even more beta releases for those models this week.
Samsung has already released nine One UI 8.5 beta builds for the Galaxy S25 series. However, for other devices, testing only began last month, with new beta updates rolling out on a weekly basis. This includes models such as the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, Fold 6, Flip 6, Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy S25 FE, Galaxy S24 FE, and more.
Tarun Vats, a well-known source for Samsung-related updates, has shared the expected One UI 8.5 beta rollout schedule for this week, from April 13 to April 17. According to the source, Samsung may release the following One UI 8.5 Beta updates this week:
- Galaxy S24/S25 FE – One UI 8.5 Beta 2 update
- Galaxy Z Fold7 – One UI 8.5 Beta 3 update
- Galaxy Z Fold6 – One UI 8.5 Beta 2 update
The One UI 8.5 Beta 9 update for the Galaxy S25 series rolled out in some regions last week, but it skipped the US. It’s now expected to arrive in the US sometime this week. One important thing to note is that beta releases can vary by region.
This is a quick update on the progress of One UI 8.5. Samsung may expand the beta program to a few more devices, though it’s not expected to happen this week. That said, you never know what Samsung might have planned.
You may have noticed that One UI 8.5 is more talked about than One UI 8. This is because One UI 8.5 introduces several new features, various UI changes, more customization options, and a massive performance boost. I found it to be more refined and met my expectations for the One UI 8 update.
If the One UI 8.5 beta is available for your device and you want to experience it before the stable release, you can register for the beta program. You can check the step-by-step guide here.
