One UI 8.5 for the Galaxy S25 is expected to roll out soon. A stable version could begin as early as April 30 in Korea.
As of midday, reports suggest a global release might follow around May 4.
This update will introduce several new features from the Galaxy S26 series to older models like the Galaxy S24.
Among the enhancements is the Advanced Audio Eraser. This feature reduces unwanted sounds in popular apps such as Instagram, Netflix, and YouTube.
Another significant addition is Call Screening. This AI-driven tool answers calls and provides transcriptions for users.
Moreover, Creative Studio will allow users to design drawings and stickers, but it will only be available for devices equipped with an S Pen.
The update is also expected to bring performance tweaks and UI polish that users have been eagerly anticipating.
Samsung has expanded beta testing for One UI 8.5 across various devices, indicating a robust rollout strategy.
However, details remain unconfirmed about the exact release date for One UI 8.5.
Support chats may not provide reliable launch news, so users should remain cautious about timelines.
Samsung might’ve accidentally given away when One UI 8.5 is landing on older Galaxy phones, but it’s best to treat this as a likely—but unconfirmed—timeline rather than a guaranteed release date.
