Yesterday, Samsung announced the rollout of the One UI 9 beta program, and today it’s added some more details. Meanwhile, the first One UI 9 beta build is now available for the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra in Germany and the UK.
It comes in the form of version S94xBXXU2ZZEF, where the “x” is different depending on the exact phone you have. It’s a 3.6GB download, so if you want to enter the beta program and grab this, make sure you do so on a fast enough network.
