One UI 8.5 Beta Now Available for Galaxy S25 Series
Samsung has officially launched the first beta update for One UI 8.5 after several weeks of internal test builds leaking online. This beta version is currently available for the Galaxy S25 series, but only in Germany. Users who own a Galaxy S25, S25+, or S25 Ultra can now participate in the beta testing program. However, owners of the Galaxy S25 FE and Galaxy S25 Edge will not have access to the One UI 8.5 beta, following Samsung’s usual practice of limiting beta programs to the main Galaxy S models.
How to Get Started with One UI 8.5 Beta
If you want to try out the One UI 8.5 beta, you can sign up through the Samsung Members app on your phone. After registering, simply go to Settings, then Software update, and select Download and install to begin updating your device to the beta version. This process mirrors previous One UI beta programs, making it straightforward for users who have participated before.
One UI 8.5 Beta Rollout and Future Plans
The beta release is expected to expand beyond Germany soon. Samsung plans to launch the One UI 8.5 beta in the US, UK, and Korea on the same day. A second phase of the beta program will follow later, adding India and Poland to the list of participating countries. For those interested in the full details of the update, a complete One UI 8.5 changelog is available. Additionally, a video highlighting the key features of the update can be found, along with more One UI 8.5 content on Samsung’s YouTube channel.
This rollout marks the beginning of Samsung’s latest software update cycle for its flagship Galaxy S25 series, giving users early access to new features and improvements before the official stable release.
