After releasing the beta update to the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 FE, Galaxy S25 FE, Galaxy Z Flip 6, Galaxy Z Flip 7, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and the Galaxy Z Fold 7 last month, the company is now bringing it to older Galaxy S and Galaxy Z series phones.

Starting today, the One UI 8.5 beta program has been opened for the following devices:
- Galaxy S23+
- Galaxy S23 Ultra
- Galaxy S23 FE

This marks the first time a Galaxy A series device is receiving the One UI 8.5 beta update. It is also notable that three-year-old Galaxy devices are being included in the beta program.
The beta program will be available in India, South Korea, the UK, and the US for the Galaxy S23 series (including the Galaxy S23 FE).
