Samsung is expanding its One UI 9 beta program to several new Galaxy smartphones this month, bringing the Android 17–based update to a wider audience ahead of its stable release. The One UI 9 beta, which already ships on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series and Flip 8, is now rolling out to additional 2025 flagship models as the company prepares for a broader rollout.
One UI 9 beta expands to more Galaxy flagships
Galaxy S26 users have been testing the One UI 9 beta for the past few months, but the expansion marks a significant step forward. Samsung has confirmed that the beta is now reaching the company’s full 2025 flagship lineup, broadening access beyond early adopters. The update will roll out as an opt-in beta through the Samsung Members app in India, Korea, the US, and the UK in September.
What to expect from the rollout
While Samsung hasn’t announced a concrete timeline for the stable release, the expanding beta suggests the final version isn’t far away. Based on past release patterns, a wider rollout could arrive sooner than expected. This follows the pattern seen when Motorola Previews Android 15 Update and New Themed Icons introduced similar phased testing approaches. As covered earlier, Samsung Galaxy S26 FE vs S25 FE: Explaining the $50 Price Increase highlighted how Samsung manages its flagship lineup, and this beta expansion underscores the company’s commitment to thorough testing before launch.
