The latest Galaxy S26 series arrived with One UI 8.5 out of the box. Since then, users with older flagship models have been eagerly waiting for their turn. A recent leak suggested a potential timeframe for the rollout of the firmware to more devices. Now, a fresh report potentially reveals when the stable version of One UI 8.5 will reach the Galaxy S25 series and other previous-generation devices.
Samsung Support may have confirmed the rollout date of One UI 8.5 stable update
The information comes from an interesting source: a Samsung customer support agent. As reported by MatthewReiter05 and shared by tipster theonecid, a screenshot of a support conversation suggests that the stable One UI 8.5 rollout could begin in South Korea as early as April 30.
If the leak is accurate, a broader global launch—including the United States—could follow shortly after, around May 4. This timeline would mean that users of older Galaxy flagships are only a few weeks away from moving out of the beta phase and into a more polished, permanent software experience.
A specific date like May 4 sounds promising. Still, it’s important to keep your hopes in check. Customer support agents can help you fix common issues. However, they often do not have access to internal release schedules. In many cases, they rely on unofficial rumors and tips.
Also, software development is rarely a straight path. The discovery of a last-minute bug during the final beta stages would lead to a delay. So, these leaked dates are far from set in stone.
Expanding the beta
Even if the stable release date remains unconfirmed, Samsung is clearly making progress. The company recently expanded the One UI 8.5 beta program to include mid-range devices like the Galaxy A35 and Galaxy A55. The company also sent updated builds to the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 foldables.
For now, Galaxy S25 owners should keep an eye on their software update menus as April comes to a close. Still, it’s best to wait for an official notification from Samsung before clearing your schedule for a major download.
