Samsung has released a major new software update for the Galaxy M55. The two-year-old mid-range device has started receiving the One UI 8.5 update in India, and the update could reach other countries soon. The new software brings several new features and improvements to the Snapdragon-equipped phone.
The One UI 8.5 update is now available for the Galaxy M55 in India. It comes with firmware version M556BXXU5DZE3 and includes the May 2026 security patch. The update has a download size of around 3GB and brings several new features and customization options.
If you own a Galaxy M55 and live in India, you can check for the new update by navigating to Settings > Software update and tapping Download and install. Once the update file has been downloaded, tap Install now. Make sure your phone has at least 30% battery charge before starting the installation process.
Samsung launched the Galaxy M55 in mid-2024 with Android 14 and One UI 6.1 onboard. The phone received the Android 15-based One UI 7.0 update in mid-2025 and the Android 16-based One UI 8.0 update in late 2025.
One UI 8.5 brings slightly refreshed UI visuals, a fully customizable Quick Panel, and a next-generation version of Bixby that can better understand natural language conversations and fetch relevant information from the internet. The update also introduces new filters in the stock Camera app, an automatic lock screen layout feature, and additional lock screen clock font customization options.
The new software also brings Direct Voicemail to the Galaxy M55. Samsung has improved the Clock and Weather apps as well. The Clock app now includes a built-in time zone converter, while the Weather app displays the pollen index and features an improved widget.
Samsung has also added Storage Share to the phone. Users can now add shortcuts to frequently accessed displays when using Wireless DeX. Samsung Notes gains support for tables and tapes, while Samsung Internet features an improved New Tab page design. The update also allows users to create partial screen recordings and set early alerts for reminders.
The Device Care app's battery information screen now features improved visuals. Power Saving mode has also been enhanced with additional customization options. One UI 8.5 further introduces Theft Protection and the ability to temporarily disable Auto Blocker.
