One UI 8.5 will be the major shift in the Samsung software strategy. The company is all set to make changes to its midcycle software upgrade which is usually x.1 to x.5.
However, the X.5 isn’t surprising to the old Samsung users as the Korean giant has already used the same version naming in the initial stages of One UI such as 1.5 and One UI 2.5.
Samsung will start the One UI 8.5 with its upcoming Flagship smartphone Galaxy S26. Then it will expand it to more smartphones. Let’s checkout which smartphone will be eligible the update.
