Samsung has reportedly started developing One UI 9.5 for the Galaxy S26 series. The news comes as users wait for the fifth One UI 9 beta. Samsung released the first One UI 9 beta for the Galaxy S26 series in May. The company recently confirmed that One UI 9 Beta 5 will roll out this week.
The stable One UI 9 update is still ahead, but Samsung appears to be planning its next major software release. According to a new report, development of One UI 9.5 is already underway. The report claims that the One UI 9.5 build for the Galaxy S26 series ends with the version number CZH1. However, there is no information about when Samsung plans to release the update.
Samsung followed a similar path with One UI 8.5 last year. The company started developing One UI 8.5 for the Galaxy S25 series around mid-September. Samsung officially announced One UI 8.5 in December. This time, the company has reportedly started One UI 9.5 development much earlier.
That could point to an earlier release for One UI 9.5 compared with One UI 8.5. Still, Samsung has not shared any official details about the update or its release schedule.
For now, Galaxy S26 users can expect One UI 9 Beta 5 this week. The stable One UI 9 release will likely follow before Samsung provides more details about One UI 9.5.
