Samsung has begun pushing its second beta of One UI 9 to Galaxy S26 devices in the U.K. The update, a 1.6GB download, follows the first beta released two weeks earlier. Early adopters now see a refined Quick Panel and new Notes customizations that hint at the full OS rollout.

Bug fixes dominate the changelog, addressing the game booster entry error, a lock‑screen drift issue, and bulk‑delete glitches. LockStar users also receive a clock‑font correction. Samsung bundles the June 2026 security patch, explaining part of the hefty download. The rollout remains limited to enrolled U.K. units for now, with broader coverage expected later as Samsung scales the update across regions soon of 2026.

With One UI 9 beta already testing Android 17 features, Samsung signals a rapid push toward the next platform generation. The extensive download size and security patch bundle underscore the company’s focus on stability before full release. Consumers who enroll early will gain a taste of the new UI before mainstream devices receive the upgrade in the coming weeks of 2026.
