Here's the Changelog for Samsung's Android 17 Update, One UI 9

  • Samsung is rolling out the first Beta update for the Galaxy S26 Series, bringing Android to the devices in select regions including Germany, India, Korea, and Poland.
  • Where Samsung's past two major updates were significant, the new update is tame by comparison. The changelog shared by Tarun Vats and SamMobile reveals few changes in this initial release.
  • Samsung Notes adds the Tape feature to cover text, while Samsung DeX enhances window movement and Recents previews. The Quick Panel is now more customizable for brightness and volume sliders.
  • Improved TalkBack updates and the new Select to speak feature offer accessibility enhancements. Physical keyboard shortcuts and the Replace swipe with single tap option are now available for Dexterity settings.
  • Galaxy S26 Series users can apply for the Beta through the Samsung Members app. Samsung is not expected to formally launch the update until the coming months, leaving time for more changes.
