Samsung has expanded its One UI 9 beta program to include the Galaxy S25 lineup, joining the Galaxy S26 series and the unreleased Galaxy S26 FE in internal testing. The Korean tech giant has already rolled out two beta builds for the S26 family, and bringing the previous generation flagships into the mix signals a broader approach to pre-release software development.
Specific build numbers remain unconfirmed at this time. While industry observers expect the first One UI 9 beta for the Galaxy S25 series to arrive within weeks, Samsung has not provided a definitive schedule.
When One UI 9 reaches consumers, Samsung’s upcoming foldables will ship with the update preinstalled. The 2026 foldable lineup is expected to feature three devices: the Galaxy Z Flip8, the standard Galaxy Z Fold8, and a new Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. Reports suggest a London event on July 22 will serve as the stage for the reveal, where pricing and availability details are likely to be shared.

Additionally, rumors point to a potential price increase for flagship models, a topic detailed in our report on the Samsung reportedly planning price hike on flagship smartphones next week.
Samsung is accelerating its software release cadence across its device portfolio. The company recently finished the global rollout of One UI 8.5 for the Galaxy S24 series, with stable builds also reaching mid-range options. This momentum extends to other models, as seen in the One UI 8.5 Stable Rollout Hits Samsung Galaxy M55, A16 5G and A17 5G.
