TL;DR Samsung is already actively testing early internal builds of One UI 9.5 on the Galaxy S26 series.
Latest additions include native App Mirroring for Galaxy Books, a redesigned fingerprint enrollment screen, and a bottom search bar.
Daily tools like the Camera app are getting a new UI polish, featuring cleaner pop-ups, rounded containers, and refined control icons.
Most Galaxy users haven’t even had the chance to try the stable One UI 9.0, but Samsung is already looking ahead. The company has been quietly testing One UI 9.5, and recent leaks suggest there’s more cooking than we initially thought. Beyond the App Lock and visual upgrades we’ve already seen, newly surfaced screenshots point to tighter Galaxy Book integration, easier-to-reach search, a new 24MP camera option, and long-overdue interface refreshes.
App Mirroring and Finder integration The most intriguing discovery is App Mirroring. Leaker Fahad Ali Javed shared screenshots on X from Samsung’s CZH9 internal One UI 9.5 build, showing a feature that could let users wirelessly access their phone’s apps and notifications from a laptop. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi need to be enabled, and both devices must use the same Samsung account.

If that sounds familiar, it should. Apple has offered iPhone Mirroring since macOS Sequoia, allowing users to interact with their iPhone and its apps and notifications directly from a Mac while the iPhone remains locked. Apple’s implementation even lets users control the iPhone with a Mac’s mouse, trackpad, and keyboard.
Samsung’s version appears to be heading in much the same direction, although it’s too early to say how closely the final implementation will match Apple’s.
