Samsung is pushing the next software layer, One UI 8.5, toward the Galaxy S25 lineup. After a February 2026 debut on the S26 series, the update now lands in beta for the S25. The company plans up to ten builds, with the latest released in March and two more slated for April.

Leaker Tarun Vats on X mapped the beta cadence: version nine should drop around April 9, while the tenth arrives near April 20. The schedule suggests Samsung still refines the code before a stable release, which could surface in late April or May instead of the earlier April window.

Recent betas focus on bug fixes and stability rather than flashy new features. Users who join the beta via the Samsung Members app can test the latest build, but the version may still harbor glitches. Samsung’s cautious approach mirrors its track record of polishing updates
