Samsung One UI 9 update is all set to make its way to more Galaxy smartphones. The Android 19-based update will bring interface changes, new AI tools, privacy improvements and additional battery-saving features.
While the Galaxy S26 series has been testing the software for months, Samsung has now expanded the beta programme to older flagship models, including the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S24 series. But the question is, when will the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S24 Ultra get the stable update? Here is what we know.
When will Galaxy S26 Ultra, S25 Ultra and S24 Ultra get One UI 9?
The Galaxy S26 Ultra, along with the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Plus, will be the first to get the stable One UI 9 update. The brand has already been testing multiple beta builds and a stable firmware version has reportedly appeared on the servers, suggesting the final rollout is close. The reports also suggest that all three devices will get the stable One UI 9 as soon as this week.
On the other hand, the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S25, along with the Galaxy S25 Plus, have entered the beta programme. The stable update is said to follow the S26 series, possibly towards the end of September or in October.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra has also joined the beta programme, with the company rolling out the first One UI 9 beta to users in India, the UK, the US and South Korea. Its stable release is likely to come after the S25 series, although Samsung has not announced a fixed date.
What new features will One UI 9 bring?
One UI 9 is said to bring a more customisable interface along with the new AI and security features. The quick panel will also get more control over the placement and sizing of brightness, volume and media controls. Samsung is also adding new creative tools to Notes and improvements to accessibility and security.
The update is also expected to bring lower LTPO refresh rates, allowing compatible displays to drop to 20Hz, 26.67Hz or 40Hz when showing static content to reduce battery consumption. Other reported additions include improved privacy alerts, app-specific internet restrictions, enhanced AI tools, native PDF support and expanded multitasking features. Do note that these details are tentative and may vary.
