Samsung released the Android 16-based One UI 8.5 stable update for the Galaxy A26 in May, and now we learn the Korean brand has started working on Android 17-based One UI 9 for this smartphone.

That’s not the only Galaxy device Samsung has started developing One UI 9 for, though. You can check the table below for the new list of Galaxy devices being tested with One UI 9.
Samsung has opened the One UI 9 beta program only for the Galaxy S26 series, which has received three One UI 9 beta updates so far. We don’t know when the rest of the devices will get beta/stable builds of One UI 9, but we do know that Samsung’s upcoming folding smartphones will be the first to run One UI 9 out of the box. They are rumored to be unveiled on July 22 at an event in London.
