One UI 8.5 Beta 10 is out [Galaxy S25]!

One UI 8.5 has made a significant appearance, with new features and other improvements. Samsung has first unveiled One UI 8.5 on December 8th, 2025, when it was available as a beta for the Galaxy S25 series users who are living in the following countries:

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

During the beta program, several beta versions were released and the Galaxy S26 with One UI 8.5 was unveiled. Since then, the beta program has been expanded and the first two middle-ranger devices, which are the Galaxy A57 and A37 phones, have been released with One UI 8.5 out of the box for people who are unable to afford the premium series.

This beta version of One UI 8.5 is going to be the end of the One UI 8.5 Beta chapter, and the stable rollout of One UI 8.5 for the Galaxy S25 in Korea is expected to begin at the end of this month, with May being the stable rollout month for the rest of the countries, including USA, India, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.

We are very thrilled to announce that Samsung has released the tenth beta version of One UI 8.5 (build ZZDD) that has the following changes:

• New features added
  • Added new AI features
• Bugs that have been fixed
  • Fixed an issue where the incoming call screen appears late or shows a black screen when receiving a call
  • Fixed a proximity sensor error during calls
  • Fixed an issue where green lines appear when recording videos in 4K HDR with the camera in certain 3rd party apps
  • Improved Bluetooth crash issues
  • Improved multi-touch malfunction after using accessibility magnification
• Many other improvements

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. You can see the status of your joining process here.

We’ll inform you if and when the stable release of One UI 8.5 starts. After that, Samsung should reveal the information about the eligible models for the update, with expected dates in the order of months, and we’ll reveal them for the Korean models.

To obtain the update, follow these steps:

This security update should take 5 to 10 minutes maximum to install once your phone reboots. Make sure that you have the phone charged fully before initiating the update process to avoid interruptions. Back up your data to your PC, the cloud, or any other device in case the update went wrong. Don’t interrupt the update process, or you’ll experience problems later.

Samsung starts adding Galaxy S26 AI features in the final One UI 8.5 beta!

The final One UI 8.5 beta version for the Galaxy S25, which is rumored to release on April 20th, will include several features that were originated from this year’s flagship Galaxy S26 series. As per Tarun Vats, the following features will be added in build ZZD9:

• Improved Audio Eraser (as announced)
• Photo Assist
• Creative Studio
• Call Screening

The improved Audio Eraser allows you to filter unwanted background noise from currently playing media in apps in real time. Additionally, it allows you to specify whether to focus on the voice or not, as well as the strength of the audio filtering.

Photo Assist and Creative Studio both allow you to edit images using the artificial intelligence (AI) technique, such as editing photos based on a prompt, turning sketches to detailed images, and much more.

When it comes to screening calls, the call assistant will answer calls and ask the caller who they are and why they’re calling. This is useful to scare scammers and other unwanted callers off, while leaving the decision to either answer the call or text calling up to you.

If the tenth beta of One UI 8.5 comes, which is expected to come on April 20th, we’ll let you know.
