Samsung appears to be shifting its software update roadmap for several previous-generation flagship devices. According to a report from NPowerUser, the Galaxy S22 series, Galaxy Z Fold 4, and Galaxy Tab S8 will not be eligible for the upcoming One UI 8.5 release.
These devices, which originally debuted in 2022, are gradually approaching the latter stages of their major OS upgrade cycles. While Samsung has expanded its software support commitments over the years, later iterations of Android and mid-cycle One UI updates often mark the cutoff point for older hardware.
While this means users on these devices may miss out on the latest feature additions and UI redesigns introduced in One UI 8.5, they can generally still expect continued maintenance and critical security updates for the foreseeable future.
