Since this is supposed to be the final One UI 8.5 update for the Galaxy phones, the changelog is heavily loaded, outlining the upcoming visual changes, Galaxy AI features, camera improvements and more for the smartphones.

Two of the biggest One UI 8.5 features going live are the new Pexplexity-powered multi-AI Bixby agent and official AirDrop support in Quick Share. The update will also bring the new Now Nudge feature, which debuted with the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

As for the rest, all phones will receive all the stable One UI 8.5 features that launched with the Galaxy S26 series. To install, if you are already registered in the Samsung Beta program, head over to Settings -> Software update -> Download and install.
