Samsung has commenced public beta testing of One UI 8.5 for Galaxy S25 devices. However, the update is currently available only in a limited region. Notably, India and Poland, which are typically included in beta testing, are yet to receive the beta. So when can users in India and Poland expect the One UI 8.5 beta? We’ll cover that right here.
One UI 8.5 is the next big update for Galaxy phones, which is set to bring various new features and improvements, including some most anticipated changes. Following a few weeks of internal testing, Samsung released the One UI 8.5 beta to the public immediately after the first week of December.
It’s been nearly two weeks since the beta release in Korea, Germany, the US, and the UK, but Samsung hasn’t released it in India. Samsung usually releases the beta in the remaining eligible countries along with the second beta for the first wave countries. Therefore, the One UI 8.5 Beta for Galaxy S25 will soon be available in India and Poland.
Here’s When…
The first One UI 8.5 Beta for India and Poland, and the second One UI 8.5 Beta for Korea, Germany, the US, and the UK, are expected to be released during the week of December 22-26. So mark your calendars and prepare your Galaxy S25 for the next beta update.
Tarun Vats, well known for his accurate Samsung-related information, has also shared a post on X that suggests the same.
