Samsung Expands One UI 8.5 Beta 9 to Galaxy S25 Users in India as One UI 9 Testing Emerges

Overview

• Samsung released One UI 8.5 Beta 9 for the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra in India, with firmware S93xBXXU9ZZDD and a download of over 900MB for enrolled testers.
• The update fixes a delay or black screen when the phone receives a call, improving how the incoming call screen appears.
• It also corrects a proximity sensor error during calls that could keep the screen on when held to the ear.
• Samsung says it resolved green lines in 4K HDR video recorded in some third‑party apps and improved Bluetooth stability and multi‑touch after using accessibility magnification.
• A recent Geekbench entry shows a Galaxy S26 Ultra running an alpha Android 17 build of One UI 9 with slightly lower scores, pointing to internal testing ahead of a beta that reports suggest could start in late May.
