What is the model name of your phone (does it end in U1)?

@ethandpm Does the model name of your phone end in "U"? If so, it is not a factory unlocked device. It may be carrier unlocked but that is not the same as factory unlocked.

Your phone is not eligible to participate in the beta. Only T-Mobile U models or factory unlocked U1 models can participate.

Right now the 8.5 beta is only being given out to Galaxy S25 Ultra devices only. I'm not sure if being unlocked matters or not when it comes to betas however your phone isn't up for getting the beta right now I don't understand how so many people don't know this when Samsung literally said it themselves that it's only being locked to Galaxy s25 Ultra users at least at the moment
