Samsung Galaxy S24 series, Fold6, and Flip6 are receiving One UI 8.5 stable update in the US
Samsung Brings One UI 8.5 to the US: S24 Series and Latest Foldables Get the Update
After a global rollout earlier this week, Samsung is finally bringing the stable One UI 8.5 update to users in the United States. If you’re rocking a Galaxy S24 or one of the latest foldables, it’s time to head into your settings—the wait is officially over.
Which Devices Are Getting the Update?
The update is currently making its way to Samsung’s top-tier lineup. While we’ve seen the global versions updated already, the US rollout is initially targeting carrier-locked devices. If you have an unlocked model, don’t worry; your turn should be coming very soon.
Here are the specific firmware versions being reported for the domestic rollout:
- Galaxy S24 Ultra: S928USQU5DZDR
- Galaxy S24 FE: S721USQUBDZDP
- Galaxy Z Fold6: F956USQU3DZDQ
- Galaxy Z Flip6: F741USQU3DZDP
Reports also confirm that the standard Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ are receiving the update alongside their siblings, though their specific firmware strings haven’t been pinned down just yet.
The Wait for Unlocked Versions
Current data indicates that this rollout is currently hitting carrier-locked US CSC devices. Samsung typically follows a pattern where carrier models get the green light first, followed shortly by the factory-unlocked versions. If you bought your phone directly from Samsung or another retailer without a carrier contract, keep an eye on your notifications over the next few days.
How to Check for the Update
Most users will eventually see a notification pop up, but if you’re eager to get started, you can manually trigger the download. Just navigate to Settings > Software update and tap Download and install. If it hasn’t appeared for your specific carrier yet, check back in a few hours—these rollouts often happen in waves across different networks.
