Samsung might release the One UI 8.5 beta sooner than expected.
Samsung will launch a beta program for its next major software update.
Apple appears to be improving its beta testing program along with its stable software updates. Following the unveiling of iOS 26, the company released a developer beta version, and soon after, a public beta. Owners of the iPhone 11 (2019) and later, including the iPhone 16, were able to participate.
One UI 8.5 is expected to introduce several features.
The forthcoming software update will include features like automatic switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data, enhanced camera capabilities, and tools for managing spam calls. The update is also rumored to include a significant visual redesign, potentially making it a more impactful release.
