One UI 8.5, Samsung’s next major phone update, is just around the corner and reported to arrive before the end of this year.
Samsung is expected to initiate One UI 8.5 beta next month.
The Galaxy S25 series could be among the earliest devices to be eligible for the beta.
The final update may arrive alongside the Galaxy S26 early next year.
After a laggard rollout of One UI 7 earlier in the year, Samsung turned the narrative in its favor with the speedy release of its One UI 8 interface. But even with One UI 8 in its initial phases, Samsung is gearing up to dish out another major update with a horde of visual and operational changes.
Samsung’s One UI 8.5 is expected to arrive early next year, in line with the company’s usual launch cycle for the new Galaxy S series.
