After extensive beta testing, Samsung has finally started rolling out the stable One UI 8.5 update, based on Android 16 QPR2. As anyone would easily guess, it’s the Galaxy S25 series getting the first bite of the stable rollout.
Samsung wasted no time in expanding the One UI 8.5 rollout to more Galaxy devices. The Galaxy S25 FE, Galaxy S24 Edge, Galaxy Z Fold 7, and Galaxy Z Flip 7 were quick to follow. The rollout should expand to more Galaxy phones and tablets over the coming days and weeks.
Here’s a list of Galaxy devices that have received the stable One UI 8.5 update so far:
- Galaxy S25
- Galaxy S25+
- Galaxy S25 Ultra
- Galaxy S25 Edge
- Galaxy S25 FE
- Galaxy Z Fold 7
- Galaxy Z Flip 7
As always, South Korea is the first region to receive the update. Users in other regions should expect to receive the update over the next few days. If your device is on the list, navigate to Settings > Software updates > Download and install to check whether the update is ready to download.
Stable One UI 8.5 rollout took a lot longer
Samsung took a lot longer to kick off the stable One UI 8.5 rollout than we had expected. The beta program for the Galaxy S25 went live in December 2025, and over the next five months, Samsung released ten beta builds. That’s well above four or five betas Samsung usually pushes before the stable release.
The stable rollout has finally gone live, and Samsung appears to be speeding things up. The update has already reached seven devices in a single day. Hopefully, it will continue to cover the rest of the eligible Galaxy devices at a good pace. If you’re unsure about the update’s eligibility for your device, check the complete list here to find out.
