After Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Fold 7, the updates are set to roll out to a bunch of older devices, including the sixth-generation foldables.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_lg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_lg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In separate posts on X, tipster Tarun Vats noted that One UI 8.5 builds for Galaxy Z Flip 6 and the Galaxy Z Fold 6 are now available in Korea.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_lg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"calc(min(calc(100vw - 1.875rem), 51.25rem) \/ 2)\" title=\"Screenshot 2026 03 30 at 3.17.08\u202fPM\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-30-at-3.17.08-PM.png 1046w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-30-at-3.17.08-PM-45w-64h.png 45w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-30-at-3.17.08-PM-1000w-1428h.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-30-at-3.17.08-PM-1008w-1440h.png 1008w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-30-at-3.17.08-PM-756w-1080h.png 756w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-30-at-3.17.08-PM-605w-864h.png 605w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-30-at-3.17.08-PM-266w-380h.png 266w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-30-at-3.17.08-PM-675w-964h.png 675w\" alt=\"Galaxy Z Fold 6 One UI 8.5 beta\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-30-at-3.17.08-PM.png\"\/><img class=\"e_lg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"calc(min(calc(100vw - 1.875rem), 51.25rem) \/ 2)\" title=\"Screenshot 2026 03 30 at 3.18.04\u202fPM\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-30-at-3.18.04-PM.png 548w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-30-at-3.18.04-PM-31w-64h.png 31w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-30-at-3.18.04-PM-529w-1080h.png 529w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-30-at-3.18.04-PM-423w-864h.png 423w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-30-at-3.18.04-PM-186w-380h.png 186w\" alt=\"Galaxy Z Flip 6 One UI 8.5 beta\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-30-at-3.18.04-PM.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Although beta releases in Korea precede global availability, Samsung has surprised us by not wasting any time. Along with Korea, we\u2019re also seeing reports that the One UI 8.5 beta is now also available for Galaxy Z Fold 6 users in India. That suggests we might also witness it being rolled out to other regions, including the US, UK, and Germany, where previous One UI 8.5 betas have been available.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re in one of these regions, you can apply to be a part of the One UI 8.5 beta program by going to the Samsung Members app on your device. In the app, you can tap the banner at the top of the home screen or scroll to the bottom of the page to see a card for the beta. Once your request is approved, you should see a beta update appear on your device, like a regular OTA update.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
