Samsung Launches Significant One UI Upgrade in the U.S.

Samsung has officially commenced the distribution of the stable One UI 8.5 update for the Galaxy S25 series in the U.S. This update brings a multitude of features from the Galaxy S26, including call screening and AI image editing capabilities. Users of the Galaxy S25 can now take advantage of Quick Share to transfer files directly to Apple devices. Furthermore, the update features a revamped user interface, enhanced Samsung DeX, and a Bixby powered by Perplexity. The U.S. variant of One UI 8.5, marked by version number S938USQU9CZDP, has a size of approximately 4.4GB and includes the April security patch. Although the update is presently accessible for the Galaxy S25 series, Samsung intends to extend One UI 8.5 to older Galaxy devices worldwide, encompassing the Galaxy S24 series and foldable devices such as the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip. Users who have not yet received the update are advised to look in the Software update section under Settings, as the rollout is in progress. Galaxy S25 devices locked to carriers may experience a minor delay in obtaining the update.
