Samsung is gearing up for its next big software moment. One UI 9, built on Android 17, kicked off its beta program on May 13, 2026, starting with the Galaxy S26 series. It marks the ninth major software version Samsung has released for its Galaxy phones and tablets.
The stable rollout is expected around July 22, 2026, timed to coincide with what is being reported as a Galaxy Unpacked event in London, where the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 are expected to make their debut. Samsung has not officially confirmed that date or the event details just yet.
If you are a Galaxy phone or tablet owner, the key questions are simple: does your device make the cut, and when will the update actually land on your screen? Stay tuned, because that answer is getting closer.
