Introduction
Seoul, South Korea: Samsung Electronics has officially announced the expansion of One UI 9 to more Galaxy devices, with the rollout beginning today starting with the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra. Following its debut on the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Fold8, and Flip8, One UI 9 brings an easier, more seamless mobile experience across form factors, along with enhanced Galaxy AI that is richer, more personal, and more helpful.
The update marks a significant milestone in Samsung's software strategy, bringing advanced AI-powered features to a broader range of Galaxy devices. Users across India and other supported markets can expect a smarter, more intuitive mobile experience that adapts to their daily needs.
New Features Help Users Capture, Personalize, and Manage
One UI 9 introduces new ways to keep people in focus, tailor the information users see each day, and manage device care more easily.
My FanCam — Automatic Subject Tracking
My FanCam automatically tracks a selected person in a recorded video and keeps them centered, intelligently reframing the footage as the scene moves. This allows users to turn dynamic moments into social-ready content with less manual editing.
Whether it's a child's performance, a friend on the dance floor, or an exciting moment during a sporting event, users can instantly put the focus on the person they want to see. The feature requires a Samsung Account login, and availability may vary depending on the video content.
Generative and Editable Cards on Now Brief
The new Generative and Editable Cards on Now Brief help users choose what appears in their daily summaries. Users can create cards across health, weather, and video so their daily brief reflects the information most relevant to them.
The Now Brief feature requires Samsung Account login, and available functions may vary by country, region, language, device model, and app. Some features may require a network connection, and the accuracy of generated results is not guaranteed.
Warranty and Care — Support in Settings
Warranty and Care brings device support and protection directly into the Settings menu. Users can now:
- Check warranty coverage across connected mobile devices
- Run self-diagnostics
- View repair estimates
- Manage Samsung Care+ or book a service appointment with just a few taps
Enhanced Capabilities Help Users Do More With Less Effort
One UI 9 builds on familiar Galaxy experiences to help users complete everyday tasks in fewer steps, with context-aware suggestions, timely creative prompts, and improvements to translation, scanning, and recording.

Now Nudge — Context-Aware Suggestions
Now Nudge can surface timely, context-aware suggestions across more moments in the Galaxy experience, helping users take the next step without breaking their flow. For example, when making plans over text, users can pull up reservation details or save a shared location without leaving the conversation.
Creative Studio — AI Image Generation
Creative Studio now suggests image-generation ideas based on relevant upcoming events. For example, when a friend's birthday is approaching, users may see a prompt to create a themed image or greeting, allowing them to quickly create something meaningful for the occasion.
Interpreter — Thread View for Translations
Interpreter introduces a new Thread View that enables users to better follow translated conversations by quickly referencing earlier exchanges. In addition, faster translation in Conversation Mode and quicker playback with compatible Galaxy Buds help reduce delays, making conversations feel more natural and continuous.
Document Scan — Smarter Digitization
Document Scan now allows users to digitize challenging materials such as curved book pages and corner-folded papers with less manual adjustment. The large-screen-optimized views on compatible Galaxy devices, along with an improved Finger Eraser, help create cleaner and more usable scans.
Voice Recorder — Structured Summaries
Voice Recorder presents summaries in a clearer, more structured format, using elements such as headings and tables to make key information easier to scan at a glance.
Enhanced Security and Privacy Help Users Stay Informed and in Control
One UI 9 continues Samsung's approach to security and privacy with transparency, choice, and control built into the experience. The latest updates help users better understand when something may need their attention and make it easier to take action.
Security Brief — Alerts in Now Brief
Security Brief brings key security and privacy updates like alerts for malware, apps from unknown sources, and unnecessary permissions to Now Brief, helping users identify potential issues earlier and determine when action is necessary.
Privacy Alerts — On-Device AI Protection
Privacy Alerts use on-device AI to identify potential privacy risks, including unnecessary attempts to access permissions in the background, giving users greater awareness of how their information is being accessed.
Scam Detection — Expanded Coverage
Scam Detection expands to additional countries and languages, bringing protection against potential scam calls to more Galaxy users across supported markets. Scam Detection will be available in Japan, Canada, and India.
