Samsung's One UI 8.5 beta release might not be delayed for too long, and could arrive on the Galaxy S25.
November 25, 2025
The first One UI 8.5 beta has already been spotted on Samsung’s servers.
Samsung is expected to release the One UI 8.5 beta for Galaxy S25 devices soon. The beta program was initially anticipated to begin in November, but its absence suggests a possible postponement, perhaps linked to delays in the S26 series.
However, the beta's presence on Samsung's servers indicates that the delay might be minimal.
The initial One UI 7 beta firmware was found approximately 24 days before its public beta release. Similarly, the One UI 8 firmware was detected on the servers 17 days before its public beta release.
A similar pattern is probable this time. If this holds true, the first One UI 8.5 beta could launch around the third week of December.
