Samsung is preparing to offer its AI-derived Call Screening feature to the Galaxy S25 series with the One UI 8.5 update.

The confirmation did not come through a flashy announcement. Instead, it surfaced in a Samsung Community thread, where a moderator responded to user queries via TarunVats.

Samsung is bringing one of its newest AI-driven calling tools to last year’s flagship lineup. The Galaxy S25 series is now confirmed to receive the Call Screening feature, a capability that first debuted with the Galaxy S26.

Call Screening won’t remain exclusive to the S26; it is on its way to the S25 series. One UI 8.0 laid the groundwork with deeper Galaxy AI integration. One UI 8.5 appears to be the refinement phase, where Samsung backports newer capabilities.

Call Screening is part of Samsung’s broader push into on-device intelligence

Call Screening feature allows users to filter unknown calls in real time, using AI to identify intent before they even pick up. The S26 lineup set a new bar here, especially in markets where spam calls remain a daily annoyance.

The feature is expected to roll out with the stable One UI 8.5 update. Based on Samsung’s current update cadence, that places the release window around April 2026, but after the rollout of One UI 8-based April security patch.

There is still no detailed changelog or regional rollout plan yet, but the direction is clear. Samsung is closing the feature gap faster this cycle, and the Galaxy S25 is next in line to benefit.
