Samsung is gradually moving forward with the development of One UI 8.5. The version is already in the public beta stage, and Samsung has also started internal testing for several Galaxy devices. Now, a newly launched smartphone has joined this testing list.

According to a reliable tipster, @Mohammed Khatri, Samsung has begun testing One UI 8.5 for the Galaxy A07 5G. The first test build spotted for this device carries the version number A076BXXU2BZA6. This shows that Samsung has started preparing a major software update for the phone.

Even though the Galaxy A07 5G was launched recently, it has now appeared on Samsung’s internal testing servers. The device has been spotted being tested in multiple regions, including India, Thailand, Vietnam, and a few other countries. This suggests that Samsung plans to bring One UI 8.5 to the Galaxy A07 5G in the near future.

However, the overall development of One UI 8.5 seems to be moving slowly. Samsung appears to be taking more time to test the update properly before expanding it to more devices. This approach may help ensure better performance and fewer issues when the update is finally released.

Apart from the Galaxy A07 5G, several other Galaxy smartphones have already been spotted on Samsung’s testing platform. This growing list shows that Samsung is actively working on the update and preparing for a wider rollout.

Samsung has already confirmed that the stable version of One UI 8.5 will launch with the Galaxy S26 series, which is expected to arrive later this month. After that, the update is likely to reach more Galaxy devices gradually. More details are expected soon as development continues.

Samsung has been working on One UI 8.5 for the past few months. It’s still based on Android 16 but uses a newer QPR2 development build, allowing Samsung to include deeper system-level features that weren’t available in the original Android 16 release for One UI 8.0.

One UI 8.5 has been available to select Galaxy devices as a beta release for quite some time now, and it’s inching closer to its stable release. And if you think it would be a minor upgrade, you’re getting it all wrong. There are a host of exciting upgrades and many new features, making the new software more customizable, visually appealing, and more secure.

In this post, we’ll tell you whether your Samsung Galaxy is eligible for the One UI 8.5 update and when you can expect it to roll out.

Is your Samsung device eligible for the One UI 8.5 update?

While the official list is yet to arrive, it’s safe to assume that all Samsung devices that have received the One UI 8.0 update or launched with One UI 8.0 should be upgraded to One UI 8.5, since both software are based on Android 16.

If your Samsung Galaxy is on the list, it should receive the One UI 8.5 update. But we’d still recommend checking the official announcement for the final confirmation. We’ll post the official list on this website as soon as it’s announced. So, stay tuned.

When will Samsung roll out the One UI 8.5 update?

Samsung will release One UI 8.5 with the Galaxy S26 series, which is set to launch in late February. The latest Galaxy flagships will go on sale starting early March. A few weeks after that, Samsung will begin rolling out older Galaxy devices.

While the exact date of the One UI 8.5 rollout is yet to be announced, reports suggest it could begin towards the end of April.

Meanwhile, Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra users are already getting an early taste of One UI 8.5 via the beta program. The first beta build was released in early December, and then a few more beta builds were released at regular intervals.

Unfortunately, Samsung hasn’t expanded the beta program beyond the S25 series, and it doesn’t appear to be changing soon. That means other Galaxy devices may receive the stable build directly. Premium devices such as the Galaxy S25, Galaxy Z Fold 7, and Galaxy Z Flip 7 are likely to be among the first phones to receive the stable update. Then, it will expand to other high-end devices, followed by mid-range and cheaper models.

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.

Samsung initiated One UI 8.5 Beta last December, but the Galaxy S25’s Stable update still has work left. While users await the fourth Beta build, Samsung is likely busy addressing major internal glitches.

As spotted by IceUniverse, the latest One UI 8.5 Beta on Galaxy S25 Ultra is causing random restart issues, hinting at a potential delay in the Stable update’s rollout.

The tipster is running an internal build of the software, which is a newer version than the Beta 3 available to Beta participants. Bugs in a newer release indicate that some work sis till left before kicking off the Stable rollout.

The source revealed that the bug is automatically shutting down and restarting the device. All this happened twice, signaling a critical glitch. It must be addressed before bringing the build to the public as the fourth Beta firmware.

Functional issues can be considered in Beta testing. Meanwhile, issues like shutdowns and unwanted restarts can be disastrous. Think you are recording something important, and your phone shuts down for no reason.

It could even happen when you are on a phone call and discussing a critical topic. That said, Samsung hasn’t yet dropped a new Beta build. It’s expected this week, but only when the bug is resolved and verified by engineers.

Is Samsung really delaying Stable?

No. Samsung has never pledged One UI 8.5 will be available in February. The company has already announced that the official rollout will begin with the Galaxy S26 series. The flagships arriving on February 25, with the first sale slated on March 11.

If you’ve participated in the Beta Program, stay joined; otherwise, you may not get access to the activity again. A fresh Beta will be provided as soon as it hits the necessary benchmarks in testing by Samsung engineers.
