Currently, this update is only available in Korea, but the expansion is expected to be in next week, with the possibility of One UI 8.5 being released for those devices somewhere in the middle of June.

Samsung has begun rolling out the One UI 8.5 update to Korea early this month and widened the rollout to many countries and models, starting from the Galaxy S25. This is a big moment for those who are owning the Galaxy S25 smartphone, but others will have to wait until it’s their turn.

As of today, we are excited to announce that One UI 8.5 is now fully supported for our projects starting May 28th! We are very thrilled to provide official support for those who are using our projects in One UI 8.5. We can now guarantee that our projects work under this version of One UI that was first unveiled to the Galaxy S26, the A37, and the A57 devices before the official rollout started.

One UI 9.0 Beta expands to India and Poland, Beta 2 now live!

Earlier this month, the One UI 9.0 beta program has started for users with the Galaxy S26 series devices in the following countries:

• Korea
• United States
• United Kingdom
• Germany

This version of One UI 9.0 provided several features, such as the Masking Tape feature in Samsung Notes and the enhanced quick panel that allows you to take it to the next level in your style with even more customization options.

May 26th has come, and One UI 9.0 Beta 2 is now available for those who have already joined the beta program with the Galaxy S26 in the above countries mentioned. Alongside that, India and Poland can now finally get their first taste of One UI 9.0 in the Galaxy S26 with the first beta on May 26th. This is what Samsung promised in the Korean version of the announcement in Samsung Newsroom.

The second beta version of One UI 9.0 is now available to fix some bugs and to incorporate general improvements across the whole operating system based on user feedback and internal evaluation, according to Tarun Vats.

One UI 9.0 Beta 2 is available under build ZZEQ, with the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra devices that joined the beta program receiving it. The following changes were made:

• Bugs that have been fixed
  • GPUWatch interruption popup issue fixed
  • Improved the non-functioning issue in the routine app
  • Improved status bar display error
  • Fixed an error where the lock screen clock font does not change in LockStar installation status
  • Improved delay issue when deleting messages in bulk
  • Improved issue where the lock screen clock gradually moves down
  • Improved game booster entry point setting error

This update also brings the June 2026 security patch, which fixes many vulnerabilities that were discovered in different system components since the beginning of this month. Samsung did not mention the details of those vulnerabilities that were fixed in June 2026 security patch, though.

Meanwhile, One UI 8.5’s stable rollout is still ongoing for more devices, with the Galaxy S22, the Z Fold/Flip4, and the Galaxy Tab S8 being the last flagship devices eligible for this platform update, essentially setting the end of the line for future software upgrades. Those devices are, however, expected to receive the May 2026 security patch before One UI 8.5 as per the quarterly rollout schedule.

To update your Galaxy to One UI 9.0 Beta 2, first make sure that you are already in the beta program. Then, 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. Make sure that you apply all available updates once you update your phone for maximum stability. An update might take 10 to 20 minutes to apply, depending on the device and the type of the update being applied.

For India and Poland, you’ll have to follow the steps outlined in this article to join the beta program. Then, check for updates on your phone. You should see something like this:

Press Update, wait for the update to install, then reboot your phone. You should be taken to the beta version of One UI 9.0.

We encourage you to please report all bugs found to the Beta program community so that Samsung will analyze your feedback and implement fixes and/or improvements based on them.
