Tipster @Alfaturk16 says the Galaxy S25 series could get the update on 30 April or 1 May, first in South Korea, with a global rollout from 4 May.
Most eligible Galaxy phones and tablets are expected to receive the stable Android 16 QPR2-based software between 4 May and 30 May.
Samsung opened the beta in December and has issued 10 test builds for the S25 line, unusually longer than its typical five to six betas over two to three months.
Will older Galaxy phones get the full suite of new AI features, or are the best ones reserved for the S25?
With One UI 9 already in testing, does this rapid update cycle risk leaving users with more bugs than benefits?
Beyond visual changes, which new AI features in One UI 8.5 will genuinely improve your daily smartphone experience?
