Summary

Samsung Beta Rollout

Samsung released One UI 8.5 Beta 2 for the A55, A36 and A35 in India.
All three include the April 5, 2026 Android security patch and contain only bug-fixes.
Beta users should back up data and install the OTA at normal temperature to avoid green-line video glitches.

Summary

Samsung Boosts Protection

Samsung is releasing One UI 8.5 with Theft Protection, Failed Authentication Lock, Auto Blocker and Inactivity Restart for Galaxy S25 and older phones.
The rollout starts for S25 users on April 30 and expands globally on May 4.
Samsung presents the free upgrade as a counter to Pixel’s security lead after Pixel updates this year caused reboots, blackouts and battery drain, thereby closing the protection gap without a new device purchase.
