It’s been over a week since Samsung launched the One UI 8.5 Beta Program and released the first firmware update. Galaxy S25 series is the only eligible candidate for the early access ahead of the Stable release in early next year.

One UI 8.5 Beta 1 is a pretty impressive update for Samsung users, while the upcoming Beta 2 is worth the wait. Seasoned Samsung users are aware of the fact, they prefer system stability over gaining early access to new software.

One UI 8.5 Beta 2 – Here’s why you should also wait for it

The upcoming One UI 8.5 Beta will bring real improvements based on feedback provided by Beta participants. The first Beta was prepared based on the assessment and testing by Samsung developers, not general users.

Numerous Galaxy S25 users are exploring new features and facing bugs/issues while using. They submit their feedback and feature requests on the Members app. Samsung developers analyze the inputs and prepare the second update.

If you neither handle bugs nor wait much for One UI 8.5, wait for the release of Beta 2. It will be a significantly better build than the initial drop. Be prepared as the slots will be limited and fill very fast moments after opening.

When to expect

It’s been a week, but the Beta 2 update will take some more time to arrive. It’s expected to be released on December 22 for the existing participants. Countries, including India and Poland, would directly receive Beta 2.

One UI 8.5 Beta is currently limited to Germany, Korea, the UK, and the US. India and Poland will join the countries once Samsung drops the Beta 2 update. It’s nothing new but a strategic move that has been carried out for years.
