Samsung is set to release the One UI 9 beta for Galaxy S26 owners this week, built on Android 17. This update introduces several new features, particularly aimed at enhancing accessibility. Users can now adjust mouse key speed, utilize a Text Spotlight feature for better text clarity, and benefit from an integrated TalkBack screen reader that works with Google's TTS technology. Additionally, One UI 9 enhances security by detecting and blocking high-risk apps. The redesign of the Quick Panel allows for independent adjustments of brightness, sound, and media controls, while Samsung Notes receives new decorative options. Although some features may seem underwhelming, Samsung plans to unveil advanced AI capabilities in the final version, expected to launch later this year alongside new Galaxy flagship devices. Galaxy S26 owners can enroll in the beta program via the Samsung Members app, available in select markets including the US, UK, Germany, India, Poland, and South Korea.
