Key Points:
- Samsung is currently testing One UI 9.5 firmware for the Galaxy S26 series, with development reportedly ahead of schedule compared to previous versions.
- One UI 9.0, based on Android 17, was officially launched earlier this month alongside Samsung's new Galaxy Z foldables, while the Galaxy S26 series has been in the One UI 9 beta program since May.
- The earlier start of One UI 9.5 development suggests the beta release might arrive sooner than the One UI 8.5 beta, which began in mid-September last year and launched in December 2025.
- Samsung plans to release at least one more One UI 9 beta update for the Galaxy S26 series and expand the beta program to the Galaxy S25 series and other older devices.
- Currently, the only devices with official One UI 9 are the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Z Flip 8, which offer features not yet available in the Galaxy S26 beta versions.
