Samsung first began rolling out the One UI 8.5 beta in early December, and it was limited to the Galaxy S25 trio. Several weeks later, with the Galaxy S26 series now official, the beta program continues. What’s changed, however, is that Samsung has expanded the One UI 8.5 beta update to more Galaxy devices.

Samsung has listed (and keeps expanding) all the Galaxy devices eligible to receive the One UI 8.5 beta. There’s both good news and bad. On the positive side, Samsung has opened access to certain Fan Edition (FE) models. Well, the downside is that this could mean the stable update may face delays.

Here are the Galaxy phones and tablets receiving the One UI 8.5 beta

For now, let’s take a look at all the Galaxy devices eligible for One UI 8.5, most of which are already receiving the update. You should know that it’s currently available only in select markets. Samsung confirmed in March that the One UI 8.5 beta program would expand to more devices in April, and you can see the growing list:

S series

Z series

Tab series

A series

If you have any of these devices and are in Korea, the UK, the US, India, or select other regions, you can follow these steps to install the beta. First, head to the Samsung Members app on your Galaxy device and look for the One UI 8.5 Beta banner. Tap the banner and follow the on-screen instructions.

Once you’re in, head to Settings > Software update > Download and install. After the update is downloaded, tap Install now. The installation may take some time, after which you’ll have the One UI 8.5 beta running on your Galaxy device.
