Samsung has officially started rolling out the One UI 9 Beta 2 update, bringing another round of improvements for users testing Samsung’s next major software release. The latest beta build is currently limited to the Galaxy S26 series, but wider availability for additional Galaxy devices is expected in the coming phases.
The beta update is based on Android 17 and mainly focuses on improving overall performance, system stability, and fixing bugs reported in the first beta release. While Samsung has not introduced noticeable user-facing features in this build, there appear to be several under-the-hood refinements aimed at polishing the software experience.
The new firmware arrives with build number S94xBXXU2ZZEQ and carries an update size of approximately 1.6GB. Samsung has also bundled the June 2026 security patch, delivering important security enhancements and vulnerability fixes.
One UI 9 Beta 2 Improves Stability Before Wider Expansion
At the moment, Samsung is rolling out the update to eligible Galaxy S26 users in the United Kingdom and South Korea. Expansion to more regions is expected soon.
Samsung is also opening the beta experience to additional markets. Users in India are reportedly receiving access to the One UI 9 beta program for the first time, allowing more Galaxy users to test Android 17 before the stable rollout arrives later.
Galaxy S26 owners interested in installing the beta build must first join Samsung’s beta program. To enroll:
- Open the Samsung Members app
- Locate the One UI 9 Beta Program banner
- Complete registration
- Go to Settings > Software Update > Download and Install
- Download the update and reboot your phone to finish installation
Early reports indicate that no major issues or critical bugs have been detected in Beta 2 so far, which could signal Samsung is focusing heavily on stability ahead of expanding the beta to more devices.
Samsung is expected to continue refining One UI 9 over the coming weeks, with future beta builds potentially introducing additional features and optimizations before the public release arrives later this year.
