Samsung Releases the Official One UI 8.5 Device List for the Global Rollout
After months of extensive beta testing across multiple regions, Samsung has officially commenced the rollout of its highly anticipated stable One UI 8.5 update. Starting today in South Korea, the tech giant is bringing a wave of fresh features, enhanced customization options, and advanced battery management tools to its ecosystem. Alongside this launch, the company has published the official One UI 8.5 device list, detailing exactly which premium smartphones and tablets are included in the critical first phase of the global release.
Flagships and Foldables Lead the Charge
The initial rollout strategy heavily prioritizes the company’s most recent and powerful hardware offerings. According to the official One UI 8.5 device list provided by Samsung, the first phase covers the entire Galaxy S25 family, encompassing the standard S25, the S25 Plus, the S25 Ultra, and the highly popular S25 FE. Foldable enthusiasts are also at the forefront of this upgrade cycle, with the latest Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 slated to receive the new software immediately, closely followed by the previous generation’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. For tablet users, the update is headed straight to the premium tier, specifically targeting the Galaxy Tab S11 and Tab S11 Ultra, as well as the complete Galaxy Tab S10 series.
Notable Absences and Future Expansions
While the current One UI 8.5 device list covers a robust selection of high-end hardware, industry observers have noted a few curious omissions in this initial wave. Currently, there is no official mention of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE or the Fan Edition variants of the Tab S10 series. Furthermore, the highly specialized premium Galaxy Z TriFold remains surprisingly absent from this first phase.
However, there is no need for panic among owners of unlisted devices. Given that Samsung recently expanded its rigorous beta testing program to include the older Galaxy S23 series and numerous mid-range Galaxy A devices, users of these models can expect their stable updates to arrive in the very near future. Following today’s successful launch in the South Korean market, a much broader global release is anticipated to commence later this week, bringing the refined, glass-like interface and smarter generative AI tools to millions of users worldwide.
