Samsung's One UI 9 beta expands beyond Galaxy S26 series; test builds and Community forum sections hint at dozen-plus devices including foldables and mid-range Galaxy A models

Samsung's One UI 9 beta program is poised for a significant expansion beyond the Galaxy S26 series, which has been the sole focus since the beta's launch in May. Recent test builds indicate that more than a dozen devices have surfaced on Samsung's test servers, hinting at a broader rollout.¹²³⁴⁵

The anticipated expansion includes older flagship phones, foldables, and mid-range Galaxy A models. Samsung has already established dedicated sections for these devices on its Community forum, suggesting that the beta could be available soon. Notably, the Galaxy S25 series, Galaxy Z Fold 7, and Z Flip 7 are among the models expected to join the beta program.⁶⁷¹⁰

However, it is important to note that the list of devices is not final, and some models may be added or removed before the public beta rollout begins. Samsung is expected to gradually expand access across supported markets, ensuring a smooth transition for users eager to experience the new features of One UI 9.¹¹¹²

“The expansion could also include some mid-range models,” a source noted, emphasizing the company's commitment to providing updates to a wider range of devices. As the beta program progresses, users can anticipate more announcements regarding device eligibility and features.
