Samsung is on a roll today, rolling out One UI 8.5 beta updates to more devices. After a long wait, the One UI 8.5 beta is now available for the Galaxy Tab S11 series, so you can go ahead and try it out.

Galaxy Tab S11 picks up One UI 8.5 beta update

Samsung has opened the One UI 8.5 beta program for the Galaxy Tab S11 and Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra. It comes weeks after the company first launched the beta for the Galaxy S25 trio, which is now receiving its eighth round of updates. For these tablets, though, there likely won’t be as many beta rounds.

The build version in question is ZZC3 (via Alfatürk!), and the One UI 8.5 beta update for these tablets is now live in Korea. More regions should follow soon, and we’ll let you know when that happens. The update is around 3.38GB in size and includes the March 2026 security patch, which bundles fixes for 67 known issues.

How to join One UI 8.5 beta on your Galaxy Tab S11?

To join the One UI 8.5 beta on your Tab S11, you’ll need to register through Samsung’s official program. Beta builds are limited, so you’ll need to hurry up if you want to join the program. Before proceeding, it’s a good idea to back up your data and update your tablet to the latest stable software to avoid compatibility issues.

1. Open the Samsung Members app.
2. Look for the One UI 8.5 beta banner.
3. Tap Enroll and accept the terms.
4. Go to Settings > Software update > Download and install.

That’s it, and you’ll get the One UI 8.5 beta running on your Galaxy Tab. One advice, however, is that you should not install it on one of the devices you rely on every day because beta software is prone to bugs and glitches.
