Samsung’s future Galaxy Book laptops will use Aluminum OS and One UI

In an effort to unify the user experience and to make it more consistent across devices that Samsung manufactures, the company have planned to integrate Android-based operating system, Aluminum OS, with One UI 9.0 as the software to the upcoming Galaxy Book laptops in a report made by SamMobile.

The upcoming Book laptops will be in three tiers: entry-level devices, middle-rangers, and flagships. This move was done by Samsung to unify the user experience and to increase consistency, ensuring that your productivity is taken to high levels.

In the past, with the introduction of the Galaxy Watch4, Samsung had a similar plan to migrate from Tizen Watch to Android-based Wear OS with One UI as the software. A more recent event was that Samsung had integrated One UI to their smart televisions.

The following tiers will be made:

• The entry-level version is the cheapest version of the upcoming Galaxy Book laptops that are suitable for the most basic tasks.
• The middle-ranger version is beefier, with the laptops at this range being able to perform a bit of demanding tasks.
• The flagship version is the strongest, the sleekiest, and the most expensive class of Galaxy Book laptops, packed with carefully-chosen device specifications that will make your Android-based laptop be able to perform the most demanding tasks in no time while increasing your productivity in ways that will wow you.

The upcoming Google I/O developer conference will be live on May 2026, and Google may unveil Android 17, which One UI 9.0 will use, while the company may unveil Aluminum OS that is based on the same version of Android.

Galaxy Z Flip7 spotted running One UI 9.0 on Geekbench

Samsung has recently started testing One UI 9.0 on Geekbench with the Galaxy Z Flip7 as the target as of today. One UI 9.0 brings various new features and enhancements made to the UI to make your device easier to use while being more productive, and is expected to bring new AI features. The upcoming foldable series that will be released this year is expected to run One UI 9.0.

While the Galaxy Z Flip7 is waiting for One UI 8.5, Samsung has performed a benchmark on Geekbench for One UI 9.0 in the Galaxy Z Flip7. The locked USA variant with build number F766USQU9CZDF has been used in this benchmark, achieving 2275 points in single-core and 7843 points in multi-core scores.

Meanwhile, Android 17 has reached platform stability, which means that Samsung can now complete development in preparation for the beta program expected to start with the Galaxy S26 series in select countries like Korea, USA, Germany, and India.

Currently, we can’t make assumptions about the expected release date for the Galaxy S26 series, but One UI 9.0 will arrive with the Galaxy Z Fold/Flip 8 series in the Galaxy Unpacked event expected on July 22nd.

The final benchmark results are not reflective of the final release of One UI 9.0, as optimizations will be done in subsequent beta versions.

Tentative logo of Android 17 Cinnamon Bun spotted!

Today is the release day of the much anticipated Google Pixel 10 phone, a successor of Google Pixel 9 released last year. It powers a much powerful Google Tensor G5 (4nm process) system on a chip (SoC) that provides you with the powerful octa-core processor and a Mali-G715 MC7 GPU. It will be released with Android 16, and the next version, called Android 17 Cinnamon Bun, is going to be its first upgrade for the phone series.

We found a tentative image of what appears to be the Android 17 logo that is contained by the pentagon shape (five sides). As usual, it’s set in the space, but with a large dark green square in the middle of the logo that contains nine smaller squares, each colored by lighter green. The “17” appears below the bigger square. You can finally see the logo below.

Currently, we couldn’t find a higher quality image, due to being a preliminary image of Android 17 Cinnamon Bun logo. We’ll find out more about Android 17 in the coming months.
