One UI 8.5 Beta Program for the Z Fold/Flip7 is now open!

One UI 8.5 has made a significant appearance, with new features, design improvements, and other improvements. We are very thrilled to announce that Samsung has recently opened the One UI 8.5 Beta Program for the Galaxy Z Fold/Flip7 in the following countries:

• Korea
• United States of America
• United Kingdom
• India

This gives us a hint that the Beta Program is now open. Users should be able to try out One UI 8.5 in its earliest shape and form on their Galaxy Z Fold/Flip7 devices.

Please note that Samsung might not have opened the Beta program in your country yet, even if your country is eligible for beta testing. In this case, you’ll have to wait for the beta banner.

To join the Beta Program, you must have the latest version of Samsung Members installed. You can get the latest version through either the Galaxy Store or the Play Store. Once done, you should be able to join the program if you have an eligible device.

Die Gerüchteküche rund um das Samsung-Ökosystem brodelt: Für die aktuellen Flaggschiffe Galaxy Z Fold7 und Galaxy Z Flip7 wurde nun offiziell die Beta-Seite für One UI 8.5 gesichtet.

Entdeckt wurde dieser Eintrag zuerst in Indien, was ein deutliches Signal für den kurzbevorstehenden Start des Testprogramms ist. Damit verdichten sich die Anzeichen, dass Samsung den Rollout der neuen Benutzeroberfläche beschleunigt. #Fold7 #Samsung #Update #ZFold7

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.

The #Fold7 is pretty sweet. I don't regret picking one up.

But this is an instance of going one step too far.

The Fold 7 is wonderful closed -- it's almost the size of a traditional S24 Ultra, but slightly lighter.

But this thing is heavier, requires you to fold it closed a certain way or you could break it (!). And it doesn't even have improved cameras or anything beneficial beyond "hey here's 1/3rd more screen".

I don't doubt some folks might find it useful. It just feels like diminishing returns to me. (But certainly not a diminishing price tag.)
