Samsung has already released the One UI 8.5 Beta 3 update for the Galaxy S25 series. For a long time, the company has been working on the next beta update. Now, new information confirms that One UI 8.5 Beta 4 is coming to Galaxy S25 models in the US.

According to tipster Tarun Vats, a new One UI 8.5 beta build has appeared on Samsung’s US testing servers for the Galaxy S25 lineup. This confirms that the Beta 4 update is ready for the US region. Earlier, the testing beta build was also spotted on servers in other regions, including South Korea.

The new build version is S938USQU7ZZAH, which shows that Samsung is actively testing the next beta update. This also suggests that Samsung may release more beta updates before launching the final stable version.

Samsung has already confirmed that the stable One UI 8.5 update will be released with the Galaxy S26 series, which is expected to launch on 25 February 2025. Since we are already in February 2026, there is still a chance that one more beta update could arrive before the stable rollout.

Earlier, the One UI 8.5 Beta 4 changelog was leaked online. It revealed several fixes and improvements for Galaxy S25 users. The update fixes Phone app crashes, search history issues, and Bluetooth call switching problems. It also fixes a bug where call links did not paste correctly. In addition, Bixby has received backend updates to improve its speed and performance, and AI Select now closes automatically after use.

However, Beta 4 is expected to include more changes and improvements beyond these fixes. The update could be released at any time, so stay tuned for more updates.

It’s been a year since the Samsung Galaxy S25 series entered sales, and after shipping millions of units worldwide, the lineup’s stock has started a reverse countdown.

It’s always a good time to buy a Galaxy device right before the launch of its successor. Samsung customers know this strategy and wait until the last moment to turn this situation into an opportunity.

The reason behind this thinking is based on the price discounts on the outgoing model. Hence, the company doesn’t want to keep selling the old unit in the face of a new release. Now, Samsung is emptying its inventory of the Galaxy S25 series.

The change has appeared on the online order page of the base and the Plus variants. As some of the color options are already out of stock. Among these, the 128GB variant is receiving extra attention, with its three online store colors – Mint, Icyblue, and Silver Shadow- no longer available. Yet, the online exclusive colors of the Galaxy S25 series are still in stock.

The same changes are also observed on the locked model for at least two color variants. However, this scenario remains irrelevant to the S25 Ultra, as all of its versions are still open for orders, at least for now.

This is a completely usual practice for the phone maker, as it phases out the existing stock of the concurrent flagship phones. Samsung may restock the outsold models, but it remains highly doubtful.

On the other hand, a teaser leak has confirmed that the Galaxy S26 series will launch on February 25, 2026. Given this revelation, Samsung may drain the stock further as we near the next Unpacked event. Still, if you want to sweep a unit of the Galaxy S25, S25+, or S25 Ultra, this is the best time for you to advance with the existing discount.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra leaks are intensifying, and a closer look at its official press renders gave us a chance to compare the newest design upgrades to the S25 Ultra.

When it comes to appearance, Samsung is drawing criticism for an iPhone-like approach. Retaining the majority of the characteristics, while making procedural changes. This approach has been consistent in the previous Galaxy Ultra releases as well as on the standard and Plus models.

Once again, the Korean phone maker will follow this minimalistic design upgrade policy for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Below, you can check the breakdown of things that you may find different from the previous generation.

Front

The front is almost identical to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, except for a few refinements. First is the punch hole. The new phone has a larger selfie camera housing, which indicates a camera upgrade, but specifics are unknown.

On the other hand, the renders show that the frame width around bezels is slightly reduced, making it appear less wide than the S25 Ultra. It could improve the front view for a full-screen view.

Another adjustment falls onto the corners, they have more radius, thus making the entire device look round. Check the image below to understand the new change.

Sides

The left side remains plain, while the right side has power and volume adjustment keys. The bottom side has a USB-C port, speakers, and an S-Pen slot.

Rear

The back panel has a new camera design, featuring a vertical pill-shaped camera bump, housing triple camera rings arranged in the same formation. These are the main, ultra-wide, and a primary telephoto camera.

On the right side, you will see two other camera openings, one of which belongs to the 3X telephoto zoom. The left-hand array has removed those black glued rings for a stable design, thanks to the bump addition.

Conclusion

Overall, it appears to be a nice upgrade, but a real-photograph or higher quality visuals may paint a different picture.

This flagship will use a new chipset – Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, providing optimum performance and a boost for on-device AI features. The camera will see new optimizations in photo and video segments for higher quality outputs.

The battery may not see an upgrade this year, but the charging could reach up to 60W for the S26 Ultra. Based on the latest leaks, the Galaxy S26 series will launch on February 25, 2026, at the Unpacked event.
