Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra
In June, we learned that Samsung was developing One UI 9.0, its latest custom Android interface, for the Galaxy S23 series, which will be the last major update for these phones. Now, after almost three months, the brand has released its beta version, allowing users of these devices to experience the new software before it releases the stable build.
Samsung has released the first One UI 9.0 beta build for the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra in India.
Compared to One UI 8.5, One UI 9.0 offers a more customizable quick panel, enhancements to Samsung DeX and Samsung Notes, and new accessibility features. You can check out the complete changelog below and watch the major changes in action in our video at the end of the article.
To get the beta version of One UI 9.0 on your Galaxy S23, open the Samsung Members app, tap on the One UI 9.0 beta program banner for your phone, and enroll your device in it. Then, go to Settings > Software update > Check for updates, where you should be able to see that a new update is available.
