One UI 8.5 debuted with the Galaxy S26 series in February and was expected to begin rolling out to older Galaxy devices in March, but users received a series of beta updates instead. It appears we’re still nowhere near the stable rollout, as the company has reportedly planned a few more beta releases this month.
According to the leaked One UI 8.5 beta timeline shared by a user on X, the Galaxy S25 series will receive at least two more beta updates in April. The Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S23 phones may also receive two beta updates this month, while the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 may receive one.
Here’s the leaked beta timeline:
- Galaxy S25 series
- Beta 9: This week
- Beta 10: Third week of April
- Stable: Not determined
- Galaxy S24 series
- Beta 2: April 9, 2026
- Beta 3: April 20, 2026
- Galaxy Z Fold 6, Flip 6
- Beta 2: April 9, 2026
- Galaxy S23 series
- Beta 1: April 9, 2026
- Beta 2: April 23, 2026
If this leaked beta timeline turns out to be accurate, the stable rollout won’t begin this month. This may certainly disappoint Galaxy S25 owners and would also result in a delayed rollout for other Galaxy devices.

It’s surprising to see Samsung is still stretching the beta phase, given that recent beta builds had no critical bugs. The One UI 8.5 build for the Galaxy S25 appears stable enough for a wider rollout. That could mean Samsung is intentionally delaying the stable rollout.
