Samsung, when it opens the beta program for a new version of One UI for a Galaxy smartphone, the brand usually releases four to five beta builds before closing the program and starting the rollout of its stable version. However, things are taking a different turn with the One UI 8.5 (Android 16 QPR2) beta program for the Galaxy S25 series. The company has now released the ninth beta build of the new software for these phones.
Samsung seems to be rolling out the ninth beta version of One UI 8.5 for the Galaxy S25 series in all the eligible regions: India, South Korea, the UK, and the US. The update for India is 865.29MB in size and carries firmware version S93xBXXU9ZZD5 (via Tarun Vats). It brings nine changes. You can check out the official changelog 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.
