Summary
July 22 is the target date for Samsung to introduce One UI 9.0, with the Android 17-based software set to ship first on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 at Unpacked.
September is the likely start of the stable rollout for older Galaxy devices, while the beta that opened in early May remains limited to the Galaxy S26 series for now.
One UI 9.0 keeps Samsung’s recent design language largely intact but adds thicker brightness and volume sliders, resizable animated media widgets, more liquid-glass effects and new Galaxy AI tools.
Supported devices are expected to span recent Galaxy S, Z, A, M, F, Tab and XCover models, though Samsung has not yet published an official eligibility list.
The software launch lands alongside Samsung’s next foldables, which separate reports say are expected to open for pre-order in the UK at about £1,799 for the Z Fold 8.
