Samsung has now pushed One UI 8.5 to every Galaxy device it publicly said would get it, closing out a list of 44 confirmed models after more than a month of steady releases. The catch, because there is always a catch with Samsung software updates, is that the rollout still isn’t fully over: a handful of unconfirmed mid-range and budget phones have also started getting the build, and a few more Galaxy devices may still be added before the company calls it done.
The update first landed on the Galaxy S25 family after a five-month beta program, then spread from premium Galaxy S and Galaxy Z devices into tablets and cheaper phones. That pattern is familiar. Samsung tends to use its flagship launches as the front door, then quickly widens access once the first wave is stable enough to avoid embarrassing headlines and support headaches.
Galaxy phones and tablets that got One UI 8.5
The confirmed list is broad, covering recent flagships, foldables, tablets, and plenty of A-series models. In other words, Samsung is doing the rare thing and letting a major update travel well beyond the expensive toys.
- Galaxy S25, S25+, S25 Ultra, S25 Edge, S25 FE
- Galaxy S24, S24+, S24 Ultra, S24 FE

- Galaxy Tab S9, Tab S9+, Tab S9 Ultra
- Galaxy Tab S9 FE, Tab S9 FE+

Galaxy A06, M56 and XCover 7 Pro also get One UI 8.5
Samsung has also started shipping One UI 8.5 to several devices that were not part of the original confirmation list. That group includes the Galaxy A06, M56, M55, M55s, M16, M06, F56, F55, F54, F06, and the Galaxy XCover 7 Pro. For buyers of lower-cost phones, that is the part that actually matters: it suggests Samsung is being more aggressive than usual about pushing the update down the stack, not just polishing the halo products.
If your phone has not seen the update yet, that does not necessarily mean anything is wrong. Samsung is still rolling it out in batches, so it can take a few days before the notification appears. The manual path is the usual one: Settings, Software update, then Download and install. Boring, yes. Effective, also yes.
One UI 9.0 is already on Samsung’s clock
Even as One UI 8.5 keeps spreading, Samsung has already shifted attention to One UI 9.0, which will be based on Android 17. The beta is already live for the Galaxy S26 series, and more devices are expected to join, while the stable release is expected in July 2026. That puts Samsung on its usual treadmill: finish one wave, start the next, and keep the upgrade cycle moving fast enough that rivals have little room to breathe.
The open question is whether Samsung will add a few more models before ending this rollout, or simply let the remaining batches trickle out quietly. Given how it has handled the current wave, a little more sprawl would be very on-brand.
