Overview
- Samsung expanded testing on Monday with One UI 8.5 Beta 10 for the Galaxy S25 series in South Korea and Germany and the same build as Beta 9 in India, while the Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 received their third beta.
- The latest betas add four Galaxy S26 features to eligible phones, including Call Screening that answers and transcribes unknown calls and Creative Studio for generative image edits and custom stickers.
- Updates also improve Audio Eraser for real‑time background noise reduction in third‑party apps and upgrade Photo Assist to support text‑based edits and object imports from other images.
- Samsung’s official changelogs cite fixes for late or black incoming call screens, proximity sensor errors during calls, green lines in some 4K HDR recordings in third‑party apps, Bluetooth crashes, and multi‑touch glitches.
- Outlets report the stable One UI 8.5 release for the S25 lineup could land in Korea by the end of April and in more regions in May, as separate Geekbench data shows an S26 Ultra running early Android 17/One UI 9 with slightly lower test scores typical of alpha builds.
