One UI 8.5 en route

If you follow Samsung closely, you may know that the brand is developing a new version of One UI for Galaxy phones and tablets, One UI 8.5, and that it opened the beta program for the new software for the Galaxy S25 series recently.

While the Galaxy S22 series is eligible to get One UI 8.5, there’s no information about when the brand will release the update to the three devices. The company is expected to debut the stable version of the software with the Galaxy S26 series.
