Galaxy A15 5G Receives Its Second One UI 9 Beta

The Galaxy A15 5G, the first A1x-series phone Samsung let into its public One UI 9 beta at all, has now picked up its second beta build in India. Build A156EDXUAZZIC landed September 30 at 499.60MB, confirmed through Samsung’s own community post.

Beta 2 is entirely about cleaning up what Beta 1 introduced rather than adding anything new. Samsung fixed an issue where the lock-screen wallpaper could vanish after installing a software update, addressed a camera processing delay that was making photos take longer to finish saving after being captured, and pushed an updated version of Quick Share, alongside general stability work.

The size gap between the two betas tells its own story. Beta 1’s nearly 2.76GB download was the phone’s actual jump onto Android 17 and One UI 9, while Beta 2’s much smaller footprint signals Samsung is now in bug-fixing mode rather than shipping more of the software itself, a pretty normal pattern once a phone’s already past its first beta build.

Joining works the usual way for anyone already enrolled: Samsung Members > One UI 9 Beta banner, then Settings > Software update > Download and install. Samsung’s own beta documentation is clear that availability depends on device, country, and current OS version, and that updates roll out gradually rather than all at once, so not every A15 5G owner in India will necessarily see it the same day.

There’s no stable release date attached to any of this yet. Samsung has already begun the stable One UI 9 rollout elsewhere, starting with the Galaxy S26 series, but that rollout is staged by device and market, and the A15 5G, as an entry-level phone only just getting its first taste of what One UI 9 actually changes, is likely still some way off. Worth noting too: this isn’t a standalone September security patch, that fix is bundled inside the Beta 2 package itself rather than arriving separately.
