This year, Samsung has already launched two major firmware updates with impressive precision. As the rollout of One UI 8.0 continues, the company is quietly developing its next significant update: One UI 8.5. Expected to debut early next year alongside the Galaxy S26 series, One UI 8.5 will eventually be available on a wide range of Galaxy phones and tablets from previous years. If your device qualifies for One UI 8.0, it’s likely to receive One UI 8.5 as both versions are based on Android 16. The update will extend across various models, including the latest foldables, S-series flagships, and even budget-friendly Galaxy A phones. While Samsung hasn’t officially announced One UI 8.5, leaked early builds hint at exciting new features. Following Samsung’s typical update strategy, One UI 8.5 should launch early next year and gradually become available over-the-air to eligible devices. A beta version might be released for select models like the Galaxy S25 series by late 2025, though no official beta plans have been confirmed yet.
