Samsung just launched One UI 8.5 beta for the Galaxy S25 series. It’s a big update for Galaxy phones, and S25 series users can now try out standout features like an adaptive lock screen clock and Storage Share, though they’ll have to wait a bit for the elusive Bixby x Perplexity upgrade. Another significant change introduced by this update is the better customization options for the Quick Settings panel, which may help you achieve the perfect setup for your needs, although Samsung may have looked at Apple for some inspiration.
