Samsung is expanding its One UI 8.5 beta program by releasing the update to the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7. These devices had been testing internal beta builds for some time, but now the first public beta firmware has appeared on Samsung’s servers. This move suggests that Samsung may be preparing to open a public beta program for these flagship devices in the future.
The One UI 8.5 update is already available on the Galaxy S26 series, and its release indicates that Samsung is confident in its stability. The expansion of the beta program could provide users with more options to test and refine the operating system before it’s released to the general public.
While there’s no word yet on whether older devices like the Galaxy S23 will receive a public beta before the stable version, Samsung’s decision to expand the One UI 8.5 beta to new devices shows that the company is committed to providing its users with ongoing support and updates.
