The Galaxy A35 is also eligible to get Samsung’s upcoming One UI 8.5. Even though it is based on the same Android 16 OS that One UI 8 is based on, it brings many changes. While these changes are small, they make a big impact overall. Samsung may debut it with the Galaxy S26 series in February 2026.
