One UI 2.5 update: The full list
Here are the phones that Samsung says will receive the newest One UI update:
Unfortunately, Samsung isn’t promising to deliver the One UI 2.5 update to any other devices. That means there are no promises for anything in the Galaxy A or Galaxy M series of phones.

Of course, the big question now is whether or not Samsung will issue an update toAndroid 11to its older models. We didn’t expect the Galaxy S9 or Galaxy Note 9 to get Android 11 because of Samsung’s two-year upgrade limit. However, withits new three-year policy in place, there is a slight possibility that it could retroactively affect its 2018 flagships. The possibility is there, however slight it might be.
For now, don’t get your hopes up, but don’t totally give up hope, either!
