These Galaxy Devices Are Running One UI 8.5 Internally

For the past few months, One UI 8.5 has consistently remained in the headlines, thanks to a steady flow of leaks and rumors. Samsung recently made things official by releasing the One UI 8.5 beta program for the Galaxy S25 series in December. However, the beta rollout is currently limited to select regions, including the US, India, the UK, South Korea, Germany, and Poland.

At the same time, the Korean tech giant is continuing internal testing of One UI 8.5 for several other Galaxy devices. Some of these models may receive beta updates, while others could skip the beta phase entirely and jump straight to the stable build.
