Overview
- Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series received One UI 8.5 Beta 10 on Monday in South Korea, with the same build reaching Germany and the UK and an equivalent Beta 9 arriving in India, adding Call Screening, Creative Studio, and upgrades to Audio Eraser and Photo Assist.
- The company also pushed One UI 8.5 Beta 3 to the Galaxy S25 FE in India and Korea and to the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 in Korea, bringing the same Galaxy S26 AI tools to those devices.
- Official changelogs list fixes for late or black incoming call screens, proximity sensor errors during calls, green lines in 4K HDR video recorded in some third‑party apps, Bluetooth crashes, and multi‑touch glitches, with foldables also getting fixes for screen flicker, lock screen clock placement, and a stuck taskbar.
- Reporting shows the beta program widening to the Galaxy S24 series and Galaxy Z Fold 7, and multiple outlets and tipsters expect a stable One UI 8.5 release for recent flagships in late April or May, with May 4 flagged as a prediction rather than a confirmed date.
- A separate Geekbench listing shows a Galaxy S26 Ultra running an alpha build of Android 17–based One UI 9 with slightly lower early scores, and coverage points to an expected public launch in July alongside new foldables.
