Samsung has expanded its One UI 9 beta program to include more Galaxy devices. The expansion includes both the latest and older foldable devices, as well as the Galaxy S24 series, which was not initially expected to receive the beta update. This move allows more users to experience the upcoming Android 17-based One UI 9 features before the stable release. The beta program's expansion is driven by Samsung's strategy to gather feedback from a broader user base.

This approach helps in identifying and fixing bugs, as well as refining features before the official rollout. The inclusion of older foldable devices and the Galaxy S24 series suggests Samsung's commitment to supporting a wider range of devices with its latest software updates. There is some disagreement among outlets regarding the extent of the beta program's expansion. While some outlets confirm the update for the Galaxy S24 series, others focus on the inclusion of older foldable devices.

Additionally, the full changelog for the Galaxy S24's One UI 9.0 beta update has been released, providing detailed information about the new features and improvements. However, coverage does not yet specify the exact timeline for the stable release of One UI 9 for these devices. Users are advised to keep an eye on official Samsung channels for updates. The beta program's expansion raises questions about which other devices might receive the update in the future, and whether Samsung will continue to support older models with its latest software features.
