One UI 9.5 beta release for Galaxy S26 Ultra gets spotted

Samsung is close to rolling out the One UI 9.0 update for all eligible Galaxy devices. And now, the company seems almost ready to open the One UI 9.5 Beta Program, as the next major update has started to appear on the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

The beta version of One UI 9.5 for the Galaxy S26 Ultra has been spotted with firmware version S948BXXU6ZZK3 on Samsung's servers. So, it appears that the company could open the One UI 9.5 Beta Program soon.

We expect the One UI 9.5 Beta Program to open sometime later this month or early next month, based on Samsung's recent track record. It is based on Android 17, and it could debut in its stable form on the Galaxy S27 series early next year.
