Samsung may bring back its Galaxy Edge series with the Galaxy S27 Edge. The company launched the Galaxy S25 Edge in 2025 but reportedly canceled the Galaxy S26 Edge. Now, a new report says Samsung could launch another Edge phone in 2027 with a thin design, a small display, and a good-sized battery.

According to tipster Kro, the Galaxy S27 Edge could have a 5.8-inch display and a battery of around 4,300mAh. The phone could be just over 4mm thick. This would make it much thinner than the Galaxy S25 Edge, which was 5.8mm thick. The thin design could be the phone’s biggest feature.

Samsung may use new battery technology to fit a 4,300mAh battery inside such a thin phone. One possibility is silicon-carbon battery technology, which can help provide more battery capacity in less space.

The Galaxy S27 Edge could reportedly launch around mid-2027. It may not launch with the regular Galaxy S27 phones, which are expected earlier in the year.

There is no confirmed information about the phone’s cameras or other features yet. Its processor is also unknown. Samsung could use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 or Exynos 2700 chip.

The Galaxy S25 Edge reportedly did not sell very well, which may have led Samsung to cancel the Galaxy S26 Edge. However, Samsung could still see demand for very thin phones. For now, the Galaxy S27 Edge is only a rumor. More information could appear before its possible 2027 launch.

Samsung has started the One UI 9 Beta Program for the Galaxy A56. This comes after the company launched the beta program for the Galaxy A57. Now, Galaxy A56 users can also try the new One UI 9 software before its official release.

One UI 9 Beta 1 is now available for eligible Galaxy A56 users. This means users can install the new software and experience some of the features and changes that Samsung is preparing for the future.

One UI 9.0 brings several improvements to Galaxy phones. It includes design changes, better performance, new features, and improvements to Samsung apps. However, users should remember that this is a beta version. Some features may not work properly, and users could face bugs or other problems.

The beta program is made for people who want to try new software early. Their feedback can also help Samsung find and fix problems before the final version is released to everyone.

Galaxy A56 users can check the Samsung Members app to see if the One UI 9 Beta Program is available for their phone. The update will not be available in every country or for every Galaxy A56 model.

Samsung is expected to continue improving One UI 9 during the beta testing period. More updates may arrive before the company releases the final stable version for Galaxy devices.

Samsung is regularly working to make One UI 9 beta available for more Galaxy devices. After the Galaxy S25 FE and some A-series devices, the company has begun rolling out the One UI 9 Beta 1 update for the Galaxy S24 FE. This means Galaxy S24 FE users can now test the new software before Samsung releases the final stable version.

One UI 9 Beta 1 update for the Galaxy S24 FE is live with firmware version ending with ZZHL. It is currently live for users in India and Korea. It could soon expand to more beta-eligible countries. The update is large, with a download size of about 3.4 GB.

Galaxy S24 FE users who want to try One UI 9 can join the beta program. To participate, users can open the Samsung Members app and check if the One UI 9 beta registration is available for their device. After joining the program, the update can be downloaded from the phone’s software update section.

The beta version gives users an early look at Samsung’s upcoming software. It includes new features, design changes, performance improvements, and other updates. However, as this is a beta version, users may also face some bugs or other problems.

After testing is completed, the company will release the stable One UI 9 update to eligible devices. Stay tuned for more information.

Samsung just opened the Android 17-based One UI 9 Beta Program for the Galaxy S23 series. Starting in India, the Beta testing activity is set to expand in South Korea, the UK, and the US.

The Galaxy S23 series is an important addition because these phones launched with Android 13 and are covered by Samsung’s extended software support commitment. One UI 9 will therefore represent another major Android upgrade for the 2023 flagships.

One UI 9 Beta is expanding

Earlier, Samsung released the One UI 9 Beta for the Galaxy S25 series and Galaxy S24 series. The company also invited the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, Z Fold 6, and Z Flip 6 to the early access program through the Members app.

Galaxy S23 series users can join the One UI 9 Beta Program using the Samsung Members app. This opportunity allows you to access the latest software advancements ahead of their public rollout.

To join the One UI Beta Program, open Samsung Members > One UI Beta banner > Enroll. Successful enrollment awards you an OTA update, which you have to download and install through system Settings.

One UI 9 is based on Android 17 and focuses on refining the Galaxy experience with new customization, creative, accessibility, security, and AI-related improvements.

As with any beta software, users should expect bugs and occasional stability issues. Samsung is likely to release additional test builds before the stable One UI 9 update reaches the Galaxy S23 lineup.

Samsung initially opened the One UI 9 Beta for the Galaxy S26 series in May, followed by newer flagship devices. The company officially confirmed a broader September expansion covering the Galaxy S25 series, Galaxy S25 FE, Galaxy Z Fold 7, and Galaxy Z Flip 7.
