The Final Version of One UI 8.5 Still Awaits
The testing phase continues for One UI 8.5, whose release is still delayed by Samsung. The company has announced that this delay affects some older premium models, while newer variants may benefit sooner.
This includes the Galaxy S25, which can access the beta version of One UI 8.5. However, the overall release of this interface, which still needs to be “stabilized” by Samsung, is expected in the coming days.
