Summary
One UI 9 beta firmware for the Galaxy A35 and Galaxy A56 has appeared on Samsung test servers in Korea, signaling the Android 17-based software may soon expand beyond the S26 lineup.
Firmware versions A356NKSUAZZH5 for the A35 and A566SKSU9ZZHH for the A56 are the clearest evidence yet that Samsung is preparing beta releases for those midrange phones.
Samsung has also opened a One UI 9 beta forum for the Galaxy A56 in India, another sign the program is being readied for wider testing.
The Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra have already received 7 beta updates, while only the Z Fold8, Z Fold8 Ultra, Z Flip8 and S26 FE currently ship with stable One UI 9.
A stable S26 rollout is expected in the coming weeks, after which Samsung could widen the beta to the S25 series and other eligible Galaxy devices.
