Samsung has announced the official rollout of One UI 8.5, bringing the latest Galaxy AI features to a wide range of devices starting May 6. The update begins in Korea before expanding to other regions in the coming weeks.
The software update focuses on improving communication and creative tools across Samsung’s Galaxy ecosystem. Users can expect enhanced AI capabilities designed to make daily tasks easier and more intuitive on their mobile devices.
One UI 8.5 will be available on multiple device categories, including recent flagship phones and foldable devices. The supported devices include:
- Galaxy S25 series and Galaxy S25 FE
- Galaxy S24 series and Galaxy S24 FE
- Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7
- Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6
- Galaxy Tab S11 series and Galaxy Tab S10 series
This rollout represents Samsung’s continued push to integrate AI features across its entire mobile lineup. The company has been steadily expanding Galaxy AI capabilities since its initial introduction, making advanced AI tools accessible to users across different price points and device categories.
The timing of this update is significant as Samsung competes with other major manufacturers in the AI space. Apple has been promoting its Apple Intelligence features, while Google continues to advance its AI integration across Android. Samsung’s approach of bringing AI enhancements to both current and previous generation devices helps maintain competitiveness across its product range.
Samsung notes that specific features may vary depending on the device model and region. The company typically rolls out major updates in phases, starting with select markets before expanding globally. Users should expect the update to arrive over the coming weeks and months, depending on their location and device model.
The update builds on Samsung’s previous One UI releases, which have focused on simplifying the user experience while adding new capabilities. One UI 8.5 continues this trend by integrating AI more deeply into everyday functions like messaging, photo editing, and device management.
