One UI 8.5

Hello, I'm quite new to my S25 FE, I wanted to try out the One UI 8.5 beta but it doesn't show up. I searched up the regions it came out in, and it says it was released in the US, but I'm wondering why it won't show.

The S25 FE beta is only open to factory unlocked devices (model name ends in U1). You can check what you have under settings > about phone, as shown in the screenshot.

It says S731U, so I'm pretty sure that means it's locked, right?

[Mujibar]

Yes, it is carrier locked

Do you have a carrier device?

The Beta is only open to devices ending in U1 bought from Samsung!

[Goopgoopmcslime]

Ohh, I see. I bought mine from boost mobile and they installed a esim.

No carrier devices for that Beta.
The only carrier that participates in Samsung's betas are Tmobile. The 8.5 on devices under the s25 series, including the S25Fe are only Factory unlocked.

Does that mean I have to wait till it's official release?

[Mujibar]

Yes, you do
