Is Your Phone Getting One UI 9? Samsung Prepares Massive Beta Rollout
Since May, Samsung’s highly anticipated One UI 9 beta program has been an exclusive club reserved entirely for Galaxy S26 owners. However, that exclusivity is about to end. The South Korean tech giant is reportedly preparing for a widespread expansion, bringing the next-generation software to a broad array of older flagships, foldables, and even mid-range devices.
The Flagship Testing Phase Nears the Finish Line
The Galaxy S26 series recently received its seventh beta update, a strong indicator that the initial flagship testing phase is in its final stretch. With the core software steadily approaching public stability, Samsung is now pivoting its resources to test the update across the rest of its diverse hardware ecosystem.
Evidence of this imminent rollout has surfaced on Samsung’s internal test servers, where newly compiled beta builds for over a dozen different Galaxy models have been spotted in recent days. Further cementing this timeline, Samsung has already established dedicated One UI 9 beta sections on its official Community forums for several devices, indicating that a public launch is just around the corner.

While software roadmaps are notoriously fluid and always subject to last-minute adjustments, current server data and forum activity suggest the following smartphones are next in line for the public beta:
