Almost a week ago, Samsung released the stable version of One UI 8.5 (Android 16 QPR2) for the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra. Initially, the brand offered it in its home country, South Korea, then in the US, and now the company is rolling it out globally, starting with Europe.
Going by Samsung’s software rollout history, the brand should make it available in some of its biggest markets, including India, soon.
You can check if Samsung has made it available in your region, and to get it, by going to Settings > Software update > Download and install. One UI 8.5 brings a plethora of changes. That includes a new user interface that looks cleaner, more sophisticated, and more consistent throughout than the one that One UI 8.0 offers, and many new features. You can check them out in our video below.
I’m a computer science engineer living in Hyderabad, India, who has a keen interest in automobiles and consumer electronics. My journalism career kicked off in 2017 with MySmartPrice where I wrote news, features, buying guides, and explanatory articles about technology among other things, and reviewed many products, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, PC components, smartwatches, audio devices, wearables, and smart home products. Since then, I have worked for 91Mobiles, Apple, and Onsitego, before finally landing on SamMobile.
