Samsung Spots One UI 9 on Galaxy S25 2 Weeks Early

3 articles · Updated · Android Police · Jun 5

Summary

  • Internal One UI 9 builds have surfaced on Galaxy S25 phones about two weeks earlier than expected, suggesting Samsung may be moving faster than usual on the next software update.
  • June timing matters because the first One UI 8 build for that lineup was only seen on June 19 last year, making this year's sighting notably earlier even without a disclosed build number.
  • The leak does not show how far development has progressed, and the Galaxy S25 version is still expected to trail software work on the current Galaxy S26 flagship range.
  • Tarun Vats said a One UI 9 beta for Galaxy S25 phones could arrive this month or next, potentially pulling Samsung's testing schedule forward.
