Samsung expanding One UI 9 Beta Program to additional Galaxy devices
Samsung is expanding its One UI 9 beta program to more Galaxy smartphones. The beta program will allow users to test the new software before the official stable update is released.
One UI 9 beta first became available for the Galaxy S26 series in May. Starting in September, Samsung will expand the program to more devices in selected countries. The eligible phones include the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, Galaxy S25 Ultra, Galaxy S25 FE, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and Galaxy Z Fold 7.
The beta program will be available in India, South Korea, the UK, and the US. However, the exact availability and timing may be different in each market.
Users with an eligible phone can join the beta program through the Samsung Members app. They need to install the app, sign in with the Samsung account linked to their phone, and register when the beta program becomes available.
Samsung is expected to release several beta updates before the stable One UI 9 version arrives. Since beta software can have bugs, performance problems, and stability issues, users should think carefully before installing it on their main phone.
The expansion shows that Samsung is preparing One UI 9 for a wider range of Galaxy devices and wants to collect user feedback before the official release.

Samsung has not shared an exact release date yet. The rollout is expected to happen in stages, so all eligible devices may not get One UI 9.0 at the same time.
The company is currently testing beta versions of One UI 9.0 on some devices. These tests help the company find and fix problems before releasing the stable version to more users. Galaxy users who are waiting for the update should keep checking the Samsung Members app and their phone’s software update section.
For now, the moderator’s statement suggests that Samsung is close to starting a wider stable One UI 9.0 rollout. More information about supported devices and the release schedule should become available soon.

One UI 9 Beta 8 Hotfix update rolling out to Galaxy S26 Ultra; Red screen improvements?
Samsung just dropped the One UI 9 Beta 8 Hotfix update for Galaxy S26 Ultra. Users in South Korea are receiving the latest update. The notice in Samsung Members mentions the 8th Beta and Hotfix, but the incorrect model.
Galaxy S25 series has just joined the One UI 9 Beta Program. Users are receiving the first Beta update, which ends with ZZHL. That said, One UI 9 Beta 8 Hotfix is indeed arriving on the Galaxy S26 Ultra as users are posting update screenshots.
Samsung pushed the ZZHM update for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. This came quickly after Beta 7, which included a plethora of new features. It seems Samsung is now pushing improvements for the reddish tint issue on the screen.
The changelog mentions stability improvements for the device. The security patch level remains unchanged at August 5, 2026. However, the size of this OTA update is over 500 megabytes, hinting at crucial improvements.
Additionally, Samsung moderators have also begun teasing the stable update. In a recent development, a Korean community moderator revealed that the official version is coming soon, giving users good news.
At present, the update seems limited to South Korea. If you’ve also enrolled in the Beta Program, check if it is available on your device. Open Settings > Software update > Download and install to verify the availability.

Galaxy S27 may get Scam Detection along with older Samsung phones
Samsung may soon bring its useful Scam Detection feature to more Galaxy phones. New information found in the One UI 9 Beta 7 software suggests that the feature could arrive on the upcoming Galaxy S27 series as well as some older Samsung phones.
Scam Detection was first introduced by Google as a feature for Pixel phones. It was first available on the Pixel 9 series. Later, Google started bringing the feature to Samsung phones. The Galaxy S26 series already supports Scam Detection, and newer Galaxy Z8 foldable phones can also use the feature through Samsung’s Phone app.
Now, code found in the latest One UI 9 beta suggests that Samsung and Google may expand the feature even further.
The Galaxy S25 series could get Scam Detection. This includes the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, Galaxy S25 Edge, and Galaxy S25 Ultra. Samsung’s newer foldable phones may also receive the feature, including the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and Galaxy Z TriFold.
The Galaxy S27 series is also mentioned in the software code. The model numbers SM-S952, SM-S956, SM-S957, and SM-S958 are believed to be linked to the Galaxy S27, S27 Plus, S27 Pro, and S27 Ultra.
The code also gives us some information about the Galaxy S27 processors. It mentions “s5e9975,” which is expected to be Samsung’s Exynos 2700 chip. Qualcomm is also mentioned. This suggests Samsung may continue using both Exynos and Qualcomm chips in the Galaxy S27 series, depending on the country.
However, this information does not confirm that all these phones will definitely get Scam Detection. Samsung and Google could still change their plans. The Galaxy S27 series is still months away, so we may have to wait for more information before Samsung officially confirms the feature.
