Samsung Galaxy A35 and Galaxy A56 could receive One UI 9 beta before stable build

One UI 9 Beta for Galaxy A35 & A56 Spotted: What to Expect

Samsung's latest One UI 9 software, built upon the foundation of Android 17, is progressively rolling out to more Galaxy devices. While the One UI 9 beta program initially focused on the flagship Galaxy S26 series, fresh evidence suggests that Samsung may be preparing to extend this beta testing to popular mid-range models, namely the **Galaxy A35** and **Galaxy A56**.

Early Beta Access for A-Series?

The discovery of One UI 9 beta firmware builds for the Galaxy A35 (firmware code: `A356NKSUAZZH5`) and the Galaxy A56 (firmware code: `A566SKSU9ZZHH`) on Samsung's Korean test servers hints at an accelerated beta rollout. Additionally, a dedicated One UI 9 beta forum for the Galaxy A56 has appeared on Samsung's Community platform in India. This indicates Samsung's commitment to testing One UI 9 extensively before its official stable release on these devices.

Current One UI 9 Landscape

Currently, the stable version of One UI 9 is exclusively found on newly launched devices like the Galaxy Z Fold8, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Flip8, and the Galaxy S26 FE. The Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra have been actively participating in the beta program, receiving numerous updates and are anticipated to get their stable One UI 9 builds soon. Following this, Samsung is expected to broaden the One UI 9 beta initiative to the Galaxy S25 series and other eligible Galaxy smartphones. The appearance of beta firmware for the A35 and A56 suggests they might be next in line for this advanced software experience, potentially before the stable One UI 9 update lands. Source
