Galaxy Z Fold/Flip 7 series One UI 8.5 beta forums and builds spotted!

One UI 8.5 is not an incremental version of One UI, but it’s a major overhaul of how you use your phone and how your phone looks. Fluent design, attractive looks, Now nudges, and new features are key changes to this version of One UI. The Galaxy S26 series, which is released this year, uses the full version of One UI 8.5, with software updates that improve the experience to come.

While the Galaxy S25 series is still being tested, the Beta forums for the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7 devices has been revealed, which means that they are now live, as Mohammed Khatri (via Sammy Guru) spotted in the Indian and the Korean community forums.

This means that there’s a high chance that those foldables will have their first beta of One UI 8.5 being released soon, thus pushing the stable release date to mid-April, starting from the Galaxy S25.

Also, further indication that Samsung was working on One UI 8.5 Beta for the Fold7 and the Flip7 foldables has been made, because beta builds for the foldables have been spotted, as Alfatürk mentioned that builds F966NKSU8ZZC4 and F766NKSU8ZZC4 have been discovered in the Korean model of the two foldables.

We expect that Samsung officially announce the first beta of One UI 8.5 for the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7 foldables in the middle of March, with the possibility that more devices may join the beta program before the stable release.

Day one with the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Setup was a disaster. Smart Switch didn't. TalkBack went silent. Samsung installed everything I told it not to.

This is why nobody upgrades their Android phone.

Galaxy Z Fold Seven Day One: The Fold Has Arrived. Setup Was A Disaster. This Is Why No One Upgrades Their Android Phone. — fireborn

I'm a Flip user. I like folding phones. The Fold is arriving today and I'm giving it a month to answer one specific question: can a phone with a keyboard case replace a phone plus a tablet with a keyboard case.

I already know how this probably ends. I'm trying to have an open mind.
