After launching the One UI 9 Beta program back in May for the Galaxy S26 series, Samsung is finally expanding it to more devices to kick off September.
Coming this month, Samsung will rollout access to One UI 9 Beta builds to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, Galaxy S25 Ultra, and Galaxy S25 FE.
For those not keeping track, One UI 9 is Android 17, which is already on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. In other words, Android 17 is basically ready from Samsung, and I’m guessing that the Galaxy S26 series will see a stable release at any moment. The rest of the devices shouldn’t take much longer to test either, assuming Samsung repeats history.
If we look back at last year, the Galaxy S25 series received Android 16 in mid-September, and then Samsung continued that push to the Galaxy S24 series and Galaxy Z Fold 6 before the end of the month. Things seem a little behind this time around, but not by much.
To join the One UI 9 Beta on your supporting Galaxy device, open up the Samsung Members app, look for a top banner section and a card that says “One UI Beta Program.” Tap on that and then follow the instructions.
Let us know if it’s live.
