Samsung is expanding the rollout of One UI 9, its latest software iteration built on Android 17, to more smartphones. The update, which initially shipped with the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Flip 8, and Galaxy Z Fold 8, is now reaching additional devices.
New Features Powered by AI
One UI 9 introduces several new features leveraging artificial intelligence. Among these is My FanCam, which uses AI to track a selected person within a video and keep them centered, dynamically adjusting the frame as the subject moves. TelecomTalk highlights this as a particularly innovative addition.
The update also enhances the Now Brief feature with Generative and Editable Cards, giving users greater control over the information presented in their daily summaries. Further AI-driven features include Now Nudge, offering context-aware suggestions, and Creative Studio, which provides image-generation ideas based on upcoming events. Existing features like Interpreter, Document Scan, and Voice Recorder have also been improved.
Expanded Device Support
The One UI 9 update is now available for the Samsung Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra, Samsung’s current flagship series. The update focuses on keeping users connected, personalizing information, and simplifying device maintenance.
Enhanced Security
Alongside the new features, One UI 9 also strengthens device security with additions like Security Brief, Privacy Alerts, and Scam Detection, offering users increased protection against potential threats.
