Samsung begins rolling out the Android 17-based One UI 9 beta to additional Galaxy devices. NDTV reports that the Galaxy A57 5G in India starts receiving the beta update, while Samsung is also rolling it out for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 in South Korea. NDTV adds that the update is about 2.3GB and includes the August 2026 security patch.
GSMArena and Android Authority both describe a wider expansion beyond these models. GSMArena says Samsung releases the One UI 9 beta for eight more devices, including Galaxy S23, S23+, S23 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Flip7, Galaxy Z Fold6, Galaxy Z Flip6, and Galaxy A57. Android Authority similarly focuses on Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 and the Galaxy A57, noting availability for owners in select regions.
Across outlets, the common thread is that users can test One UI 9 before a stable release, with enrollment typically handled through Samsung’s beta program in the Samsung Members app. The rollout appears to be staged by region and device rather than uniform worldwide.
