Reports cite Galaxy S26 lineup changes for a likely One UI 8.5 beta slip.

Overview

  • Galaxy A15 5G in Canada and the U.S. is receiving Android 16–based One UI 8 with firmware A156WVLU7DYIB (Canada) and A156USQU7DYIB (carrier‑locked U.S.), a ~2.2GB download that includes the September 2025 security patch.
  • Cellular variants of the Galaxy Tab S9, S9+, and S9 Ultra in the U.S. now have One UI 8, a 3.2GB update with builds X718USQU6DYJ1, X818USQU6DYJ1, and X918USQU6DYJ1.
  • Samsung has released stable One UI 8 for the Galaxy M55 and M55s in India with firmware M556BXXU4CYJ4 and M558BXXU2CYJ4, delivering the October 2025 security patch in downloads of roughly 2.6GB and 2.5GB.
  • After a temporary pause, the One UI 8 rollout for the Galaxy S24 and S23 has reportedly resumed in South Korea, with screenshots indicating new packages of about 396MB and 385MB.
  • Multiple outlets, citing tipster Tarun Vats and unnamed sources, report the One UI 8.5 public beta is postponed, allegedly linked to Galaxy S26 lineup revisions such as canceling the S26 Edge and reinstating the S26 Plus, though Samsung has not confirmed timing or details; leaked previews highlight AI notifications and a customizable Quick Settings panel.
