Samsung will debut One UI 8.5 (based on Android 16 QPR2) later this month with the Galaxy S26 series. Soon, the new software will begin rolling out to older Galaxy devices. Unfortunately, this is going to be the last feature update for many Samsung devices, which includes devices across every Galaxy lineup.
In this post, we’ve curated a list of Galaxy devices that will receive One UI 8.5 as their last feature-packed update. This also means they won’t receive One UI 9 and future One UI updates. However, that doesn’t mean the end of the road for them as they will continue to receive security patches for a while, but without the latest features or upgrades.

To clarify, Samsung hasn’t yet announced which Galaxy devices will receive the One UI 8.5 update. However, it’s almost certain to reach every Galaxy device that received the One UI 8.0 update or launched with it. Based on that, we’ve prepared the above list.
If your Samsung device is on the list, it will soon become ineligible for future One UI releases, including One UI 9, which is expected to be released in the second half of 2026. To ensure you do not miss out on the latest features and upgrades, you will need to upgrade to a newer model. Don’t forget to check out the list of Samsung devices that promise seven major OS updates, six major OS updates, or four major OS updates to find a reliable option that will stay relevant for years to come.
