I tried Samsung’s One UI 9 beta, and it’s not the update I hoped it would be

The start of a new beta is always an exciting time, whether it’s a new Android version from Google or a new version of One UI. I expected that to be the case with One UI 9, which is based on Android 17.

However, now that I’ve spent some time with the beta on my Galaxy S26 Ultra, I can say that this is a much smaller update than we’re used to — and there’s no reason to rush into the beta program to try it for yourself.
