Samsung’s One UI 9.5 beta looks set to follow the same two-step country rollout as the One UI 9 beta. A post addressed to Galaxy users, shared by tipster Tarun Vats, lists the US, the UK, Korea and Germany as the first phase and India and Poland as the second, and says the program will start with the Galaxy S26 series. The order applies if Samsung repeats the One UI 9 beta pattern, which is how the post itself frames it.
| Phase | Countries | One UI 9 beta (for comparison) |
| Phase 1 | US, UK, Korea, Germany | From May 13, 2026 |
| Phase 2 | India, Poland | From May 26, 2026 |
That is how the One UI 9 beta played out. Samsung announced it on May 12, 2026 for six countries, the first build reached the US, the UK, Korea and Germany from May 13, and India and Poland had to wait until May 26. The One UI 8.5 beta worked the same way: it opened on December 8, 2025 for the Galaxy S25 series, while Poland and India only joined with the second beta build on December 22. A near-identical post listing the same two phases was also published for the One UI 8 beta on Samsung’s community forum.
Samsung hasn’t announced a start date for the One UI 9.5 beta. A newer One UI 9.5 beta build for the Galaxy S26 Ultra appeared on Samsung’s servers earlier this month, and we’ve explained why the beta could arrive sooner than the One UI 8.5 beta did. One tipster expects it to open between November 16 and 20.
Pakistan isn’t on the list, so Galaxy S26 owners here won’t be able to register through Samsung Members.
