A leak outlines which Galaxy phones and tablets could receive the One UI 9.5 update, but Samsung has not published an official list yet and the lineup may change as rollout policies evolve.

Samsung has kicked off internal development of One UI 9.5, with early builds spotted for Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Z Flip 8 on Samsung's servers. The company has tested 9.5 on the Galaxy S26 line, and a beta program could roll out later this year or early next year to S26 and Z8 devices. The update won’t add an Android version but will bring new One UI features as part of Samsung's x.0/x.5 release pattern.

A One UI 9.5 leak for Galaxy S26 suggests smoother, out-of-the-box animations, a redesigned fingerprint indicator, camera UI tweaks, and new home-screen features like Finder/Google Search bars, plus a native app mirroring capability; official confirmation has yet to come.

One UI 9.5 leaks point to a glassy, depth-filled redesign with edge-glass widgets, blur effects, and subtle backdrop shading across Samsung apps like Now Brief and the Phone app; leaked screenshots describe a bottom-floating search bar and hints of an App Lock feature. The updates are tied to Galaxy S26 and early beta chatter, but a full rollout may not arrive until 2027, aligning with Samsung’s patchy update history.

A One UI 9.5 firmware was reportedly run on a Galaxy S26 by Fahad Ali Javed, signaling a real but likely incomplete leak ahead of Samsung’s official One UI 9.5 release. Samsung has not confirmed One UI 9.5 yet; a beta for the S26 is expected later this year, with the stable version likely arriving alongside the Galaxy S27 next year.

A first look at One UI 9.5 leaks shows a glass-inspired UI with a redesigned floating tab bar, shinier header borders, and a moved search icon, signaling a visual refresh that could debut with the Galaxy S27 in early 2027 and roll out to existing devices shortly after.

Samsung appears to be adding a native App Lock feature with One UI 9.5, enabling you to lock any app or game directly from the home screen or app drawer by tapping a lock icon after long-pressing an icon. It relies on the phone’s existing unlock method, so no new password is required. The feature was spotted in a One UI 9.5-based firmware on the Galaxy S26 and is expected to roll out with the Galaxy S27 launch next year, later reaching older devices.

Samsung has begun early development of One UI 9.5 for the Galaxy S26 lineup (build CHZ1), hinting at a beta rollout possibly earlier than the 9.0 launch. The S26 has been in 9 beta since May, and Samsung may expand testing to the S25 and older devices, while One UI 9 is still accessible now on Galaxy Z Fold 8/8 Ultra/8 Flip 8.

A Galaxy S26 FE firmware leak from SamMobile reveals a One UI 9.5 update banner in the update menu, but it doesn’t confirm the device will run 9.5. Samsung is expected to ship the S26 FE with One UI 9, while 9.5 may debut with the Galaxy S27 lineup in 2027; a beta program could arrive later this year. The leak also shows the FE’s default wallpapers are identical to those on the S26 series.

Leaks indicate Samsung is already testing One UI 9.5 on the Galaxy S27 Ultra (US variant SM-S958U), with build evidence from Samsung’s test servers. This follows the recent One UI 9 debut and suggests early software work for the upcoming flagship, which rumors tie to features like an S Pen, a 200MP main camera, and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro.

Samsung’s One UI 9.5 is leaking ahead of the Galaxy S27 lineup, with the first build (S958USQU0AZH3) spotted for the US Galaxy S27 Ultra. Galaxy Z Fold 8 series will ship with One UI 9.0, and 9.5 development is progressing on schedule, though a public beta isn’t imminent; the stable release is expected with the Galaxy S27 series in 2027.
