The Galaxy S22, Galaxy A53, and other 2022 Samsung devices may never get One UI 8.5.
While Samsung briefly tested One UI 8.5 on some older devices, development appears to have stopped back in April. Recent rollout announcements also focus on devices eligible for Android 17, leaving many older phones notably absent.
The reason could be that One UI 8.5 is based on Android 16 QPR2 rather than the original Android 16 release, making it more of a platform update than a traditional mid-cycle One UI upgrade.
However, Samsung isn't breaking its update promise. Devices like the Galaxy S22 already received their final guaranteed Android OS upgrade with Android 16. Mid-cycle One UI upgrades were always nice-to-haves, not part of Samsung's contractual obligations.
