Galaxy S24 and Z Fold/Flip6 One UI 8.5 beta builds spotted!

Last week, the Galaxy Z Fold/Flip7 series entered the One UI 8.5 Beta Program as an effort to expand the beta program to more flagship devices. This came 3 months after the Galaxy S25 series joined the program.

Today, a new development emerged, because the Galaxy Z Fold/Flip6 series and the Galaxy S24 series have started internally testing the One UI 8.5 beta builds, as spotted by Tarun Vats.

This suggests that the One UI 8.5 beta program for these devices will be opened soon, for a subset of countries like Korea, USA, and India. The forums will be opened for these devices once the program officially starts, with the expected duration being in a week or two.

However, Samsung has also started testing the One UI 8.5 beta builds for both the Galaxy S25 FE and the Galaxy S24 FE, which is unusual for Samsung’s beta programs, as the FE variants are usually excluded from the program.

Once the beta program opens for all these devices, we’ll inform you.

To update your Galaxy to this security update, follow these steps:

Make sure that you’re connected to a stable and fast Wi-Fi network to avoid high mobile data fees. Never interrupt the update in any way, or problems could occur later.

If you’re seeing “Your software is up to date,” this means that the update hasn’t reached your device yet. Keep checking for updates, as Samsung rolls it out gradually to all devices from country to country, usually starting from Korea.
