Exciting news for Samsung enthusiasts! The highly anticipated One UI 8.5 beta program for the Galaxy S25 series is on the horizon. SamMobile can confirm spotting the first One UI 8.5 beta firmware specifically designed for the Galaxy S25 Ultra on Samsung’s servers.
While initial expectations pointed towards a November release, it appears a slight delay, potentially linked to the Galaxy S26 series launch timeframe, may push the beta program into December. However, the detection of the firmware is a significant step, indicating that Samsung’s development roadmap remains largely on track.
Historically, previous One UI beta firmware releases have surfaced weeks before the public beta launch. If a similar pattern holds true, anticipate the One UI 8.5 beta to become available around the third week of December. The scope of regional availability for this beta program remains uncertain. Samsung’s past beta rollout patterns offer limited insight, so stay tuned for further updates.
