What features are new for the s25 ultra in one ui 8.5?

Bobby34 — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 04:59:09 GMT

Just curious if the s25 ultra will be software updated to support some of the features the s26 ultra currently has.For instance Horizontal lock,ocean mode and the mode for making pics of people better in sunlight.Will any of these be software updated to the s25 ultra?Also anyone who's running an s25 ultra with one ui 8.5 beta I want to see what differences the camera and photos apps have compared to the current one ui 8.

Horizon lock is not in the 8.5 beta, nor will it come to other phones, hardware based, photo enhancements are hardware locked due to different apertures on the main and telephoto cameras.

I know that some of the photo enhancements are different.But it seems like they could do the horizon lock on the 25 ultra just fine because all it is is software.

@Bobby34 Probably in the future, maybe even in UI 9.0 when that arrives, etc. Device makers market newer feature as exclusives to their newest hardware releases, to then allow backporting to previous iterative device makes, like a year later.
