Samsung expands One UI 9 Beta program to more devices, Galaxy S25 series receiving first beta update
Samsung has expanded its One UI 9 Beta program to include the Galaxy S25 series and other recent foldable devices across several major markets. The update is based on Android 17 and is currently available via the Samsung Members app.
Why it matters
Software update cycles are a critical component of consumer electronics loyalty and competitive differentiation in the smartphone market.
Samsung announced the Android 17-based One UI 9 Beta program for the Galaxy S26 series in May, and today, the Korean brand expanded the One UI 9 Beta program to more Galaxy devices in India, South Korea, the US, and the UK.
The Galaxy devices eligible for the One UI 9 Beta program include the Galaxy Z Fold7 , Galaxy Z Flip7 , Galaxy S25 , Galaxy S25+ , Galaxy S25 Ultra , and Galaxy S25 FE . The press release we received from Samsung doesn't mention the Galaxy S25 Edge , so it's unclear whether it will receive One UI 9 beta or get the stable build directly.
