Today, on December 8, Samsung started rolling out the Android 16-based One UI 8.5 Beta 1 update for Galaxy devices. The stable version is expected to debut with the Galaxy S26 series next year. Since the stable version is still months away, Samsung will release more beta versions for testing. Here you can check the expected release date of One UI 8.5 Beta 2.

According to the latest information shared by @ya_sking12767, Samsung will release One UI 8.5 Beta 2 on December 22, 2025. This date is about two weeks after the Beta 1 rollout. While Samsung has not officially confirmed this release date, it is currently the most expected timeline based on early information.

One UI 8.5 Beta 2 update is expected to include several improvements. Testers may receive new features, performance upgrades, and fixes for bugs found in the first beta. These updates help Samsung refine the software before the final version is released to the public.

Samsung usually expands beta programs over time, so more Galaxy devices and more countries are expected to be included in the One UI 8.5 Beta program with Beta 2 release. It means that more countries’ Galaxy users might soon get a chance to test new features.

At the moment, users of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series can experience the One UI 8.5 features and improvements by participating in the Beta Program. This update is only live for users in the US, Germany, Korea, and the UK. With Beta 2, One UI 8.5 Beta Phase 2 might start and include India and Poland too.

For now, users can look forward to December 22 as the expected release date for One UI 8.5 Beta 2. Stay tuned for more information.
