Samsung has successfully completed the distribution process of the One UI 8.5 interface update, which improves the user experience. Following the beta program launched for the Galaxy S25 series in December, the process accelerated with the release of the stable version along with the Galaxy S26 series. Last month, the technology giant made the update available for older models and completed the distribution for 44 officially approved Galaxy devices. With the addition of the Galaxy A15 model to the list, the company has fulfilled the software support for all devices that it initially promised.

List of Devices Included in the Update Expanded

The One UI 8.5 update stood out as a comprehensive optimization process covering Samsung’s wide range of products. Many upper segment products, especially the Galaxy S series, Z series foldable devices and Tab S tablet series, have gained new interface features. The fact that A series devices in particular received the update once again demonstrated Samsung’s determination regarding software support.

The company successfully completed the software update it promised for a total of 44 models, in accordance with the planned schedule.

Devices Not on the Official List Are Also Supported

Apart from the officially approved devices, devices that were not initially expected to receive updates but were included in the system also attract attention. Although Samsung has not made an official commitment, it has released the One UI 8.5 update for a total of ten different models, including Galaxy M06, F55 and XCover 7 Pro. This strengthens expectations among users that other devices may also receive support.

Update Distribution Varies Depending on Regions

The distribution process, which continues on a global scale, does not occur at the same time in every country. While Samsung continues to gradually roll out the update to different markets, more countries are expected to experience this new interface in the coming weeks. In addition, although the availability of 17 devices is still unclear, the fact that unexpected devices such as the Galaxy F54 model received the update shows that the process is dynamic.

Users are recommended to verify whether their device has the latest version by checking the Software Update section in their device’s Settings menu. The personalization options and performance increases offered by the new interface create a significant experience difference for Galaxy users.
