US rollout brings stable One UI 8.5 to Galaxy S24 lineup, starting with Verizon
Samsung has begun a stable One UI 8.5 rollout for the Galaxy S24 series in the US, initially on Verizon carrier-locked devices. The update (~4GB) does not upgrade Android, but adds a more customizable Quick Panel, new lock-screen clock options, a refreshed UI with a compact tab bar in stock One UI apps, Galaxy AI improvements, and Quick Share AirDrop support. Other carriers and unlocked models are expected to follow; users should check Settings > Software update and ensure at least 30% battery before installation.
