Samsung One UI 9 rollout begins: Galaxy S26 series gets Android 17 update with new AI features
Samsung has started the stable One UI 9 rollout, based on Android 17, for the Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra. The update introduces new Galaxy AI features, including My FanCam, Now Nudge, Creative Studio and an upgraded Interpreter.
Galaxy has officially begun rolling out Samsung's newest software update, One UI 9, powered by Android 17, to more Galaxy handsets. The stable rollout kicked off on 16 September and included Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 Ultra. The software was introduced on Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Flip8.
This update adds new Galaxy AI features, privacy controls and device management capabilities, following the months-long beta testing period. Samsung claims that One UI 9 will gradually roll out to other Galaxy devices that support it. The company hasn't announced a complete rollout schedule for each device.
Samsung claims that One UI 9 introduces a number of features that make daily life easier. My FanCam can automatically track a selected person in a recorded video and keep them centred as the scene changes. This can make videos more easily shareable without having to reframe them manually.
