Hello,

Thank you for your interest in the One UI 8.5 release schedule.

As officially announced, the One UI 8.5 rollout has begun in Korea starting May 6, with additional regions and devices to follow gradually.

Please note that availability may vary depending on region, carrier, and device model.

At this time, we are unable to confirm specific release dates for the U.S. or individual carriers.

We recommend monitoring official Samsung announcements and checking Software Update periodically for the latest availability.

We appreciate your patience and your participation in the One UI Beta Program.

Best regards,

One UI Beta Team

Beta users usually get the stable last

[userDp4vVn8fjd]

Would you know that we can update it without leaving the beta program

[Sveney]

You will get the stable version eventually. You do not need to leave the beta. You'll be automatically updated to stable when it's available

[Doopydoop]

Once you get the update that beta is finished. Beta participation does not continue for future betas.

From all the whiny, entitled posts here and everywhere around the internet, hopefully those folks will decide that beta testing isn't for them. Idk if they started with the beta for the "cool" factor, or to try to make themselves seem smarter than they are, or what, but...they were everywhere! Haha Best of luck to them, seriously.

To everyone else that actually contributed with feedback and bug reports! You're the real MVPs of software development! : D May all of our bits, bytes, and bugs be trouble free moving forward! See you all for the OneUI 9.0 Beta! : D

Ngl, denoting others as whiny etc speaks as much as the person saying that than it does regarding the beta itself.

Anyway, after this beta I am done with them period. Going through this beta and the UI 8.0 beta, I have literally had beta software on my phone than the stable release versions since I have owned this form Jan 30 last year. Samsung is getting valuable use of a phone I paid full price for and to risk bricking for their benefit. Personally I think for those who are in the beta from day one to the end, should get at least a serious discount on future phone or high end peripherals.

Yeah, sure. I'm the whiny one? Lol

Anyway, I agree with your last point. Or some sort of custom icon pack or something, at a minimum. I don't think some free Galaxy Buds would hurt their bottom line, though. How many of us really jump onboard the beta wagon from day 1 and stick through to the end? They'd have to qualify it like that, or else they'd have people joining the beta for a day/week/month just for the prize. Good idea, though.

I'll continue beta testing. I've been beta testing since Windows XP, I see no reason to stop now. Haha 😆

Have a great day, friend! Best of luck to you in life, every aspect! : )
