Samsung Galaxy users get One UI 8.5 beta with new AI tools
Samsung Galaxy S24 series users are now seeing the One UI 8. 5 beta, a software update that adds new Galaxy AI features and broader interface changes. The update is aimed at the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the wider S24 lineup, with the stable version expected later. Samsung has not yet rolled out the final build, but the beta already points to what is coming next.
Four Galaxy AI features are in the pipeline
An internal One UI 8. 5-based software build for the Galaxy S24 Ultra showed four new Galaxy AI features: Advanced Audio Eraser, Call Screening, Creative Studio, and an improved version of Photo Assist. The build carried firmware version S928BXXU5DZD9. These additions were identified in a leaked software build tied to the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Advanced Audio Eraser is designed to reduce unwanted sounds inside apps such as Instagram, Netflix, and YouTube. Call Screening uses on-device AI to answer calls, ask for the caller’s identity and purpose, and save a recording and transcription for later review. Creative Studio is an app for drawings, invitation cards, profile cards, stickers, and wallpapers, while the improved Photo Assist supports image editing through text prompts.
What the beta already changes on the Galaxy S24
Samsung recently released the second One UI 8. 5 beta update for the Galaxy S24 series. That release was mainly a bug-fixing update and added only two new features, but it also set the stage for more additions in the stable version. Samsung Galaxy owners watching the beta trail now have a clearer view of the update’s direction.
The new beta is being positioned as a broader refresh, with changes that go beyond the four Galaxy AI tools shown in the internal build. The context provided points to more software updates before the final rollout reaches the Galaxy S24 series. One UI 8. 5 also appears to be shaping up as a release that blends practical tools with new interface changes.
Samsung Galaxy S24 users wait for the stable rollout
The stable version is expected sometime next month, and more beta versions may arrive before that happens. That timing matters for Galaxy S24 users who did not upgrade to the Galaxy S26 series, because the update appears to bring features associated with newer devices into the older lineup. For now, the clearest signal is that Samsung Galaxy owners in the S24 family are still in the beta phase while the final release moves closer.
Samsung Galaxy users should expect the stable One UI 8. 5 build to come after additional testing, with the current beta serving as the main preview of what is ahead. The update remains centered on the S24 series, and the leaked build shows that the next phase will likely emphasize AI-powered tools, editing improvements, and everyday usability.
