Samsung is rolling out One UI 8.5 to a limited set of older Galaxy phones and tablets, adding multiple AI-focused capabilities alongside other system improvements. According to reports, the update brings smarter call handling features, tools for easier photo editing, and additional convenience functions described as borrowing from more recent Galaxy software experiences. Business Standard also says the rollout includes AI-powered tools and enhancements to sharing features, along with an improved Bixby experience. The same report notes enhanced security protections as part of the update package. Digital Trends highlights that the AI additions are specifically targeted at “these Galaxy oldies,” indicating the software is meant to extend newer functionality to older devices rather than limiting it to the newest models. Both outlets describe the rollout as beginning now and affecting select devices, rather than being universally available to all Galaxy models immediately. The reports do not provide a complete list of supported devices or a specific global rollout timeline, but they broadly agree that One UI 8.5 is introducing new AI features and related improvements for qualifying Galaxy hardware.
