Galaxy S26 series gets sixth One UI 9 beta release, but when is the stable update coming?
The latest 851MB update targets several UI and routine issues for global users ahead of the stable launch.
Samsung has launched the sixth One UI 9 beta for its Galaxy S26 series, according to a report from Android Authority. The 851MB update, firmware version ZZHE, incorporates the August 5, 2026 security patch and addresses several key issues, such as display errors with the Now Brief widget and photo-saving issues in Expert RAW 24MP at certain focal lengths.
The update is currently active in Germany, India, Poland, the UK, and South Korea, and is anticipated to roll out to the United States soon. Despite a flurry of activity in developing the One UI 9, Samsung's pace has decelerated for the Galaxy S26 series following the release of the stable update alongside the Galaxy Z8 foldables.
This is the sixth One UI 9 beta release since the fifth one appeared almost two weeks ago. The update is running on Android 17 and is currently installed on the reporter's Galaxy S26 Ultra in the UK.
