One UI 8.5 is an impressive update for Samsung’s newer devices, but it presents a notable issue as not all new features extend to older models. For instance, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra includes a 24-megapixel mode in its camera app, this feature is absent in previous models, including the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Similarly, the Horizontal Lock feature, introduced with the Galaxy S26 Ultra, is not available on older versions despite the update. This discrepancy highlights the uneven distribution of features in One UI 8.5 across different Samsung models.
