Samsung's rolling out One UI 9 to its Galaxy lineup, and the schedule's getting clearer for multiple markets. The new software arrived first on the foldable phones, Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Z Fold 8, and Z Flip 8, which shipped with it pre-installed. Now it's spreading to the rest of the family, and if you've got a supported Galaxy device, you'll want to know when your phone's getting the goods.
In Thailand, Samsung's given us the official timeline. Galaxy S26 phones started getting One UI 9 on September 21, while the S25 series and Z7 foldables are due on September 28. The Galaxy S23 FE will see the update by October. The rollout's clearly staggered, so don't panic if your phone hasn't received it yet. Different regions are getting different dates, so your specific market might follow a slightly different schedule.
India's already seeing some action on the beta front. Samsung dropped One UI 9 Beta 2 for the Galaxy A36, which brings improved camera stability and various bug fixes. The update's around 600MB and focuses on making the camera experience smoother when you're taking photos or recording videos. If you're enrolled in Samsung's beta program, you can grab it from Settings.
The company's also been pushing beta builds to its foldable phones. Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 users got One UI 9 Beta 3, which squashes bugs rather than adding flashy features. Samsung fixed a notification panel issue on the lock screen and improved camera stability again, showing they're really focused on polish before the final release.
Want to check if One UI 9 is ready for your device? Just head to Settings, tap Software update, and select Download and install. If it's available in your region, you'll see it pop up. Samsung's clearly moving at pace here, so expect more phones to get their updates in the coming weeks. The company's using beta feedback from devices like the A36 and the foldables to nail down stability before rolling out to the broader lineup.
