One UI 9.0 Beta expands to India and Poland, Beta 2 now live!
Earlier this month, the One UI 9.0 beta program has started for users with the Galaxy S26 series devices in the following countries:
- Korea
- United States
- United Kingdom
- Germany
This version of One UI 9.0 provided several features, such as the Masking Tape feature in Samsung Notes and the enhanced quick panel that allows you to take it to the next level in your style with even more customization options.
May 26th has come, and One UI 9.0 Beta 2 is now available for those who have already joined the beta program with the Galaxy S26 in the above countries mentioned. Alongside that, India and Poland can now finally get their first taste of One UI 9.0 in the Galaxy S26 with the first beta on May 26th. This is what Samsung promised in the Korean version of the announcement in Samsung Newsroom.
The second beta version of One UI 9.0 is now available to fix some bugs and to incorporate general improvements across the whole operating system based on user feedback and internal evaluation, according to Tarun Vats.
One UI 9.0 Beta 2 is available under build ZZEQ, with the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra devices that joined the beta program receiving it. The following changes were made:
- Bugs that have been fixed
- GPUWatch interruption popup issue fixed
- Improved the non-functioning issue in the routine app
- Improved status bar display error
- Fixed an error where the lock screen clock font does not change in LockStar installation status
- Improved delay issue when deleting messages in bulk
- Improved issue where the lock screen clock gradually moves down
- Improved game booster entry point setting error
This update also brings the June 2026 security patch, which fixes many vulnerabilities that were discovered in different system components since the beginning of this month. Samsung did not mention the details of those vulnerabilities that were fixed in June 2026 security patch, though.
Meanwhile, One UI 8.5’s stable rollout is still ongoing for more devices, with the Galaxy S22, the Z Fold/Flip4, and the Galaxy Tab S8 being the last flagship devices eligible for this platform update, essentially setting the end of the line for future software upgrades. Those devices are, however, expected to receive the May 2026 security patch before One UI 8.5 as per the quarterly rollout schedule.
