Samsung Expands One UI 9 Beta to 5 More Galaxy Devices Ahead of July Unpacked

3 articles · Updated · Forbes · Jul 4

Samsung has started internal One UI 9 beta testing for five more devices: the Galaxy S23 FE, M34, Z Fold 6, Z Flip 6 and A37.
That lifts the confirmed test roster to 12 models, spanning four flagship generations, four A-series phones, one M-series budget device and two 2024 foldables as Samsung accelerates work before its late-July Unpacked launch.
Good Lock is also catching up: LockStar v9.0.00.5 added full One UI 9 support this week after a broader Good Lock update began rolling out in Korea.
On the Galaxy S26 beta track, Samsung has kept a roughly two-week cadence since May 13, with Beta 3 on June 16 fixing nine stability issues rather than adding major features.
One UI 9 is shaping up as a refinement release after One UI 8.5’s redesign, with accessibility and security additions ahead of a wider rollout expected after Unpacked.
