The stable One UI 8.5 rollout is gaining momentum, as the update has gone live for a bunch of Galaxy devices. Samsung began its global rollout on May 11, starting with premium models like the Galaxy S25 series, Galaxy Z Fold 7, and Galaxy Z TriFold. But it didn’t take long to expand it to cheaper models like the Galaxy A16.
Samsung spent 5 months in beta testing, which was quite longer than usual, and made us wonder whether this delay would also impact the One UI 9 release. But fortunately, things are looking back on track as the stable update has already been released for over a dozen Galaxy devices.
The Galaxy S25 phones were the first recipients of the rollout, but it was surprising to see phones like the Galaxy S25 Edge receiving the update at the same time, despite not being a part of the beta program. Just a few days later, the update began rolling out to mid-range phones, starting with the Galaxy A56 and Galaxy A36.
