Samsung next major software evolution is officially on the horizon. Built on top of Google’s freshly minted Android 17 framework, One UI 9 is gearing up for a massive global rollout to phones.
The software officially kicked off its public beta program on May 13, 2026, starting with the flagship Galaxy S26 series.
While Samsung has kept tight-lipped about an official launch date, industry reports from Korean outlets Seoul Economic Daily and Korea Economic TV strongly point toward a stable release debuting around July 22, 2026.
The launch is heavily tipped to coincide with a rumored Galaxy Unpacked event in London, where Samsung is expected to unveil its next-generation foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8.
Whether you own a top-tier flagship or a budget-friendly A-series device, here is a complete breakdown of what One UI 9 brings, when it will drop, and every device expected to receive the upgrade.
