One UI 9.0 beta 3 for Samsung A55 is here.

Is this going to be the last OS update for the Galaxy A55?

According to Samsung’s 4-generation OS upgrade policy, the A55 launched with Android 14, so it should receive Android 15, 16, 17 and finally Android 18, with One UI 10 potentially being the final major One UI version.

Also, I have read somewhere that One UI 8.5 was considered a major upgrade by many users, and that some Samsung phones running Android 16 did not receive One UI 8.5. So does One UI 8.5 actually count as one of the 4 OS upgrades, or is the A55 still eligible for Android 18?

They have removed Clear Cache Partition from recovery mode. Just these options are left.

Since Samsung is moving away from Microsoft services—first with Gallery syncing to OneDrive and now with Samsung Notes—where will this data be backed up? Is Samsung planning to launch its native cloud service, similar to Apple’s iCloud?
