What you need to know
- Samsung was reportedly seen rolling out One UI 8.5 Beta 10 to enrolled Galaxy S25 devices.
- The patch, almost 1 GB in size, includes Call Screening, Creative Studio, and several fixes.
- A previous rumor in April said that Samsung could release two beta versions in April, and it looks like we could see the light (a stable release) soon.
It can be incredible for the registered evaluators, since the tenth A user interface 8.5 beta for Galaxy users.
It’s been a long road, like SamMobile reports that Samsung is rolling out One UI 8.5 Beta 10 to all enrollees Galaxy S25 devices in South Korea. This is quite common, since Samsung usually launches a new beta version in its territory before expanding to other regions. While we wait, the post indicates that the build will arrive with a download size of 900 MB. The new software features some new features this week, such as “AI features.”
The report indicates that these features, although apparently not explicitly mentioned in the changelog, include AI Call Screening and Samsung’s Creative Studio. The devices are receiving a fix for “multi-touch issues after using the accessibility extension” and “an issue with the proximity sensor during calls.”

Android Central’s opinion
There were reports about these AI features headed to the Galaxy S25 series earlier this month. It is also worth saying that the reports also conflicted. So far it looks like they will be approaching the S25 series and I don’t see why they wouldn’t. I doubt call control is charging a high price that only the S26 can handle.
Samsung is also fixing issues with call screen appearing late (or not appearing at all), anomalies appearing during 4K recording, and improving Bluetooth. One UI 8.5 Beta 10 has been detected to use vS93xNKSU9ZZDD firmware. Users should keep an eye on this as the week progresses.
Perfect
We’ve been thinking about Samsung’s latest AI features on the Galaxy S26 for the S25 series. since a rumor suggested it. The foreign report on this potential also included updates to Audio Eraser, Now Brief and Photo Assist, Agentic AI and “Notification Highlights” as features to join Call Screening. Now that we have received our 10th Beta build of One UI 8.5, we hope that a stable release is just around the corner. Call Screening works much like Google’s version for Pixels.
Android Central’s opinion
I’m sure there will be quite a few people surprised by how long we’ve gone without One UI 8.5 on slightly older devices. Samsung has been testing this since late last year, and while we weren’t expecting a simultaneous arrival, three, maybe four months later, it’s crazy. But there’s a lot going on with One UI 8.5, so this long wait might be worth it (I hope).
You could have your phone’s AI answer a call for you and it could transcribe what is said. Plus, it can help filter out spam, so you don’t get bothered by something meaningless.
Rumor at the beginning of April I could have read the stars. It was suggested that Samsung was preparing “two more” One UI 8.5 betas in April: one at the beginning of the month and another later, around April 20 (today). That’s pretty much accomplished now, but we’re still curious about a stable implementation. Supposedly, that could happen in late April (think next week) or in May.
