Samsung Expands Galaxy S25 January Security Update in Europe as One UI 8.5 Beta 4 Nears

The rollout follows a South Korean debut, signaling wider distribution.

Overview

  • Samsung has begun distributing the January 2026 patch to Galaxy S25 devices in Europe after releasing it in South Korea last week.
  • The update is 569.04MB, carries firmware version S93xBXXS7BYLR, and addresses 55 security issues.
  • A fourth One UI 8.5 beta for the Galaxy S25 series is expected around January 19–20 with a focus on bug fixes and reliability, and it may include a newer kernel, which remains unconfirmed.
  • Access to the test build requires enrollment in the One UI 8.5 beta via the Samsung Members app, and participants should expect potential issues that can affect normal use.
