One UI 8.5 Beta Program for the Galaxy S24 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 S24 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 S24 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.

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.
