Mumbai, April 7: Samsung’s One UI 8.5 was introduced with the Galaxy S26 series in February, and a rollout for older Galaxy devices was anticipated in March. However, users have only received a series of beta updates thus far. Reports indicate that the stable rollout is still not imminent, as the company plans to release additional beta versions this month.
A leaked timeline for the One UI 8.5 beta, shared by a user on X, suggests that the Galaxy S25 series will see at least two more beta updates in April. The Galaxy S24 and S23 models are also expected to receive two beta updates each, while the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 may get one.
Here’s the leaked beta timeline:
- Galaxy S25 series
- Beta 9: This week
- Beta 10: Third week of April
- Stable: Not determined
- Galaxy S24 series
- Beta 2: April 9, 2026
- Beta 3: April 20, 2026
- Galaxy Z Fold 6, Flip 6
- Beta 2: April 9, 2026
- Galaxy S23 series
- Beta 1: April 9, 2026
- Beta 2: April 23, 2026
If this leaked timeline is accurate, the stable rollout will not commence this month. This news may disappoint Galaxy S25 owners and delay updates for other Galaxy devices as well.
It is surprising that Samsung is prolonging the beta phase, especially since recent beta builds have shown no critical bugs. The One UI 8.5 build for the Galaxy S25 seems stable enough for a broader rollout, suggesting that Samsung may be intentionally delaying the stable release.
