A beta program is released prior to the official release of every significant new One UI update for Galaxy devices that comes with an updated version of Android. Although Samsung has primarily restricted them to their foldable phones, we have also seen beta programs for minor One UI improvements where the Android version stays the same.
For One UI 8.5, Samsung is making some changes this year. It is hosting a conventional beta program in six nations (the US, the UK, Korea, Germany, Poland, and India) that is not limited to Galaxy Z handsets. Which gadgets will be supported? To discover out, you’ve come to the correct spot.
Eligible devices for One UI 8.5 beta
The beta program supports the following devices:
- Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra
Yes, the initial list is rather short. At first, only the initial three models of the Galaxy S25 series are qualified. As usual, neither the Galaxy S25 Edge nor the FE model are receiving the beta.
We’ll make sure to update this list when Samsung expands the beta program to new devices, so be sure to bookmark this site and return at a later time.
