Analysts, enthusiasts, and industry observers are watching closely to see how this story develops.<\/p>\n<p>This update adds another signal to a fast-moving sector where product decisions, platform changes, and competition can quickly shape the market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Affiliate links on Android Authority may earn us a commission.

Although a stable version has been launched with new devices, including the Galaxy S26 series as well as the Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57, Samsung continues to test the beta for older devices. After Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Fold 7, the updates are set to roll out to a bunch of older devices, including the sixth-generation foldables.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"anp-pro-inline-figure\" style=\"margin:1.75em auto;text-align:center;max-width:100%;\"><img class=\"anp-pro-inline-img\" src=\"http:\/\/gamingtodaynews.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x-10.png\" alt=\"\" style=\"display:block;margin:0 auto;max-width:100%;width:auto;height:auto;object-fit:contain;object-position:center;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Last week, Samsung pushed out the eighth One UI 8.5 beta for the Galaxy S25 phones. Alongside the release, Samsung also announced it would expand the beta to several older flagships, including the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Tab S11, and the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6. While the Galaxy Tab S11 has already received its first beta update, Samsung has also initiated the rollout for Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Fold 6.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">In separate posts on X, tipster Tarun Vats noted that One UI 8.5 builds for Galaxy Z Flip 6 and the Galaxy Z Fold 6 are now available in Korea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Although beta releases in Korea precede global availability, Samsung has surprised us by not wasting any time. Along with Korea, we\u2019re also seeing reports that the One UI 8.5 beta is now also available for Galaxy Z Fold 6 users in India. That suggests we might also witness it being rolled out to other regions, including the US, UK, and Germany, where previous One UI 8.5 betas have been available.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">If you\u2019re in one of these regions, you can apply to be a part of the One UI 8.5 beta program by going to the Samsung Members app on your device. In the app, you can tap the banner at the top of the home screen or scroll to the bottom of the page to see a card for the beta. Once your request is approved, you should see a beta update appear on your device, like a regular OTA update.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Thank you for being part of our community.
