One UI 8.5 update is on the verge of rollout, and there’s some important news for the Galaxy S24 series users. Samsung hasn’t shared the rollout roadmap, but the update is expected to be available starting tomorrow.

A Samsung moderator of Canada community has just revealed that the One UI 8.5 rollout will begin with the Galaxy S25 series and the Galaxy S24 series may follow later. That said, 2024’s flagships won’t upgrade alongside the S25 series.

The moderator clearly said that the update will first arrive for the Galaxy S25 series and the Galaxy S24 Ultra is included in the following phase. It’s a little blow to the users of the flagship phones, but it isn’t shocking either.

One UI 8.5 Beta first arrived on the Galaxy S25 series. Samsung expanded it to more models in 2026, with April marked a massive expansion. As for the S24 phones, the distribution may begin in the second phase, not first.

We were expecting a simultaneous rollout for a wide range of Galaxy devices, but Samsung still refrains from opening a broad deployment. Well, the update may go live for plenty of devices in the present month and the next.

Staged release aims to ensure stability and performance. If Samsung detects any problem, the expansion will be paused. In case the stability is verified, devices from the previous generations will quickly join the party.

Users can check for latest updates through Settings > Software update. Make sure to create a backup of your personal data before install. You can also check our dedicated article to ensure a seamless upgrade experience.
