TL;DR

  • Samsung is expanding the One UI 9 beta to the Galaxy S25 series, S25 FE, Z Flip 7, and Z Fold 7.
  • The beta will launch this month in India, South Korea, the UK, and the US.
  • Users can join through the Samsung Members app, but beta builds may include bugs and stability issues.

While Samsung appears close to rolling out the stable One UI 9 update for the Galaxy S26 series, the company is expanding its One UI 9 beta program to more Galaxy devices, including the Galaxy S25 series, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and Galaxy Z Fold 7.

The One UI 9 beta program will open this month in India, South Korea, the UK, and the US for the phones listed below:

  • Galaxy S25
  • Galaxy S25+
  • Galaxy S25 Ultra
  • Galaxy S25 FE
  • Galaxy Z Flip 7
  • Galaxy Z Fold 7

If you own any of the devices listed above and want to participate in the One UI 9 beta program, you should download and install the Samsung Members app on your eligible phone.

Then, log into the app using the same Samsung account tied to your phone, and register your device once the beta program goes live.

Samsung will likely release multiple beta updates for these phones before rolling out the stable version. These early builds are often filled with bugs, performance hiccups, and stability problems.

Therefore, you should be careful before deciding to enroll your primary device in the beta program.
