Although testing for One UI 9 has commenced early, this does not imply that it will become available to customers any sooner. Samsung will take the necessary time to optimize this new operating system for Galaxy devices and will not rush the firmware release.

On February 25, Samsung launched the Galaxy S26 series, and these phones will be available starting March 11.
