Samsung Ships One UI 9 Beta 3 to Galaxy S26 as Testing Spreads to 13 More Models

Summary
Beta 3 for the Galaxy S26 rolled out this week, fixing camera preview cropping, lock-screen widget errors, S Pen swipe glitches and random video-streaming reboots.
Samsung also added a Quick Panel shortcut for AI-generated notification summaries, though its headline Gemini Intelligence features are still absent from the beta.
Internal One UI 9 testing has now been spotted on 13 additional devices — the Galaxy S23, S24, S24 FE, S25 lines and the A56 — extending development across four flagship generations and one mid-range phone.
That broader push follows Samsung's rapid One UI 8.5 and June security rollout and suggests a faster-than-usual schedule aimed at a stable release before next month's Unpacked in London.
Samsung plans to launch stable One UI 9 on July 22 with the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8, when Gemini Intelligence is expected to debut.
