Samsung has recently added new beta program entries for its devices like Galaxy S25, S25+, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra. This information suggests One UI 9 will launch sooner than expected.
For now, the beta program is not yet available or started for other non-S26 devices, but Samsung will expand access to more of its devices soon.
One UI will be based on Android 17 and it will bring mostly non-visible changes.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Series and Other Devices
While Samsung has already released four One UI 9.0 beta updates for its S26 devices, it is still limited to S26 devices. Other devices are still not eligible for One UI 9.0.
With the latest entry updates, it directly indicates that Samsung will soon release One UI 9.0 updates for its non-S26 devices, and S25 will be the first to receive it in selected markets, as the beta program is only available in limited selected regions by Samsung.
