Samsung Expands One UI 9 Beta to 3 Budget A-Series Phones as June Patch Reaches A16 4G

Summary
Three budget and mid-range A-series phones — the Galaxy A35, A37 and A56 — are now confirmed in Samsung’s One UI 9 testing pipeline, extending development beyond the S23-S26 flagship lines.
The broader push comes as Samsung races toward a stable release before next month’s Unpacked event, after already moving the Galaxy S26 to Beta 3 and lining up the S25 series for the public beta.
Beta 3 for the Galaxy S26 fixed camera lag in third-party apps such as Snapchat and Instagram when zooming, adding to earlier fixes for random video-streaming reboots, lock-screen widget errors and S Pen issues.
Samsung is also widening current software support: the June One UI 8.5 patch has reached the Galaxy A16 4G and is rolling out to Galaxy S24 users in Europe after addressing a local-attacker vulnerability.
The update cadence sets up Samsung’s July 22 launch, when the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 are due to ship with stable One UI 9 and the new Gemini Intelligence features.
