Samsung is pushing One UI 8.5 to two more mid-range phones, the Galaxy F15 and Galaxy M34, signaling that the company is nearing the final stage of its Android 16 QPR2 rollout.
For users in India, the update matters for more than visual changes. It brings the latest features together with a new security patch, while also showing that Samsung’s distribution list is almost complete.
Two more Galaxy models join the update wave
The Galaxy F15 has begun receiving One UI 8.5 in India with firmware version E156BXXUADZE7. The download size is around 2.5GB, which means users should expect a relatively large installation package.
Samsung also released One UI 8.5 for the Galaxy M34 earlier this week. That build arrives as M346BXXUCFZE6 and comes in at roughly 2.8GB.
Both devices receive the latest interface changes and improvements carried by One UI 8.5. At the moment, availability is still limited to India.
The rollout is expected to expand to additional regions in the coming days. That gradual approach is typical of Samsung’s staged update strategy, which helps the company monitor stability before wider distribution.
May security patch is included
Beyond interface upgrades, the One UI 8.5 package for the Galaxy F15 and Galaxy M34 also includes the May 2026 security patch. Samsung says that patch addresses around 40 security vulnerabilities identified by Samsung, Google, and industry partners.
That makes the update more significant for users who have been waiting for both feature additions and system protection. It is not just a cosmetic refresh, but also a security-focused release.
Users who already have access to the update can check manually through Settings > Software update > Download and install.
After the file finishes downloading, tapping Install now will begin the installation process. Because the package is larger than 2GB, a stable internet connection is advisable.
Samsung’s rollout is entering its last stretch
The arrival of One UI 8.5 on the Galaxy F15 and Galaxy M34 suggests Samsung is close to finishing its broader distribution plan. Only a small number of eligible Galaxy A, M, and F series phones are still waiting for the update.
Most compatible models are already said to have received the release. That means users who have not seen the notification yet may not have to wait very long.
The update cycle also points to Samsung’s next priority. The company appears focused on closing out One UI 8.5 rollout before shifting attention to One UI 9.
Because One UI 8.5 is based on Android 16 QPR2, it serves as an important step in Galaxy devices’ move toward the next software generation. For many owners, that makes this rollout one of the more relevant software updates of the year.
What Galaxy owners should expect next
The wider release of One UI 8.5 to the Galaxy F15 and Galaxy M34 shows that Samsung is still supporting non-flagship devices with major software updates. That remains important for users who want a more even update policy across the Galaxy lineup.
At the same time, staggered delivery means notifications will not appear on every device at once. Samsung typically opens updates in phases so it can observe how the software performs in the field.
For Galaxy F15 and Galaxy M34 users in India, the key firmware identifiers are E156BXXUADZE7 and M346BXXUCFZE6. Those build numbers indicate that the correct One UI 8.5 package has arrived on the device.
If the update does not show up immediately, checking Software update again later is usually enough. With Samsung already in the final stretch of the rollout, broader availability should continue to move forward soon.
