Key Points:
- Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra are the first devices to come with One UI 9.0 pre-installed and will be available soon.
- The first One UI 9.5 firmware (build S958USQU0AZH3) has appeared on Samsung's servers for the US Galaxy S27 Ultra, indicating the Galaxy S27 series will launch with One UI 9.5.
- Development of One UI 9.5 started around May 2024 and is progressing on a typical schedule, similar to previous One UI updates aligned with Google's Android release cycle.
- Despite the firmware surfacing, One UI 9.5 is not expected to enter public beta testing soon, as Samsung has yet to roll out stable One UI 9.0 updates beyond the latest Fold and Flip models.
- The One UI 9.5 beta program is anticipated to begin around December 2024, following the pattern of last year’s One UI 8.5 beta launch, with the stable release expected alongside the Galaxy S27 series in early 2027.
