Subsequent coverage traced a cascade of beta updates: the Galaxy S25 received its third One UI 9 beta and a date for the stable release, the Galaxy S23 series and the Galaxy A56 each received a second beta, and the Galaxy S26 series began integrating Z Fold 8‑derived enhancements. Engadget reported that Samsung extended One UI 9 to the remaining S26 devices, while PhoneArena observed the stable version reaching some S26 owners, though opinions on sufficiency varied.
