One UI 8.5
One UI 8.5 began its official rollout in May 2026 and is being distributed progressively across eligible Galaxy devices. Flagship Galaxy S and Galaxy Z models were served first, with further families added as regional firmware branches are approved.
Because Samsung compiles firmware per model and per sales region, two identical handsets can legitimately sit on different versions at the same moment. Software availability varies according to:

Security Update Tracker
Samsung publishes security maintenance releases on a rolling schedule. A device's tier depends on its family, launch year and market — and it can change during the device's lifetime.
Flagship Galaxy S and Galaxy Z devices, plus selected recent Galaxy A models, typically receive a security maintenance release each month.
Galaxy S25 / S24, Galaxy Z Fold7 / Flip7, Galaxy A56
Many mid-range and entry Galaxy devices move to a quarterly cadence, receiving cumulative patches roughly every three months.
Galaxy A26, Galaxy A16, selected Galaxy M and F models
Older or entry-level devices near the end of their support window are served twice per year until support concludes.
Legacy Galaxy A and Galaxy Tab A models
Up to seven years of OS and security updates on recent flagships.
Foldables aligned with flagship support commitments.
Support length varies by tier and launch year.
Tab S receives longer windows than Tab A.
Enterprise-oriented extended support.
One UI Watch firmware follows its own schedule.
Supported devices and update frequency can change over time. Always confirm the patch level recorded on the handset itself.
