Scott Brown \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n<p>TL;DR<\/p>\n<p>A Samsung customer support agent has given an apparent launch window for stable One UI 8.5.<br \/>\nThe agent reports that the stable update could be released globally around May 4.<br \/>\nYou should be skeptical of this claim, though, as support agents might not be privy to an exact launch date.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-s26-ultra-review-3652705\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Samsung Galaxy S26 series<\/a> launched with One UI 8.5, but owners of older phones have waited for a while to get their hands on the stable software. However, it sounds like we now have a tentative date for stable One UI 8.5 on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-s25-ultra-review-3523941\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Galaxy S25 series<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter user <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MatthewReiter05\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">@MatthewReiter05<\/a> (via tipster <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/theonecid\/status\/2043695067789992172\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">@theonecid<\/a>) shared a screenshot from Samsung support that apparently reveals a launch date for stable One UI 8.5 on older phones like the Galaxy S25 series.

In other words, it seems like we\u2019ve got just over three weeks to go.<\/p>\n<p>However, we should stress that communications from customer support agents should be taken with a big pinch of salt in situations like this. Update schedules are subject to change due to unforeseen software issues. So it\u2019s entirely possible that the disclosed launch windows are incorrect.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, support agents might not be privy to this kind of information, either, and they could be relying on unofficial sources.
