Samsung released the first One UI 9 beta for the Galaxy S26 series in May. The last beta build rolled out over three weeks ago, leaving users eager for the next update.

A Beta Operations Manager posted on the Samsung Community Forum that One UI 9 Beta 5 for the S26 lineup will drop next week, with a window between August 10 and August 15. The exact date remains unspecified.

The announcement originated in the South Korean forum, indicating the beta will launch there first before expanding to other regions. Users worldwide should monitor local updates for the rollout.

Samsung’s transparency about the schedule aims to keep the community informed while the company finalizes the final beta build.
