Samsung has begun rolling out the stable One UI 8.5 update. The rollout is currently available for select users and just a single region. We expect expansion to other countries in the coming hours, in the absence of any bugs.
As expected, the stable One UI 8.5 update is rolling out for the Galaxy S25 users. This means users of the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra can install the update. However, you must be living in South Korea to receive the update at the time of this report. Usually, Samsung will extend the rollout to Europe, Asia, the UK, and the US in the coming hours.
Details of the stable One UI 8.5 update for the Galaxy S25 series phones
So far, only those who participated in the beta program are receiving the stable One UI 8.5 build. That is obvious given the update size, which is about 580MB. If you are receiving the upgrade for the first time, expect a massive update size, and it will be good to install over Wi-Fi.
Meanwhile, the update is rolling out with a firmware version S93xNKSU9CZDP. It comes with all the expected features, including support for AirDrop via Quick Share. There are loads of other features, but mostly first-timers will enjoy them, as beta testers have had these features for months now.
With the release of the stable One UI 8.5 update for the Galaxy S25 series phones, Samsung has probably marked the end of the beta program. Hopefully, devices like the Galaxy S24 series will start receiving the update soon.
