Listen to the story

Samsung has begun the official rollout of its new software, One UI 9, to more of its devices. The stable version is now reaching users, replacing earlier test versions.

The update is going to the Galaxy S25 series, as well as the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7, Samsung's latest foldable phones. These devices were among the first to receive the update.

One UI 9 is based on Android, the operating system that powers many smartphones. Samsung customises Android with its own design, called One UI, adding extra tools and visual changes.

According to Samsung, the update brings the latest Galaxy features to a wider range of devices. This means more users can now access new tools and design changes.

Samsung typically releases software updates gradually rather than all at once. This staged approach allows the company to fix any problems before the update reaches everyone.

The rollout is expected to expand to other Galaxy phones in the coming weeks and months. Samsung has not given an exact schedule for every device.

This update is part of Samsung's ongoing effort to improve the software experience across its Galaxy lineup, keeping devices updated with the latest tools and design improvements.
