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.
