GoKawiilSamsung spotted testing seventh One UI 9 beta build for Galaxy S26
Tipster Tarun Vats found a new internal test build ending in "ZZHK" on Samsung's servers, suggesting a seventh One UI 9 beta for the Galaxy S26 series may still be coming despite six betas already released. A separate internal build ending in "BZHI" was also spotted, which Vats speculates could instead be the first stable release candidate.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Samsung already shipped stable One UI 9 with its new foldables, so an extended beta cycle for the Galaxy S26 signals lingering bugs or usability issues that need more polishing before wider release. Owners of the S26, S25, S24, S23 and Fold series waiting for the stable update may face further delays as Samsung decides between one more beta or jumping straight to release.
- A possible seventh One UI 9 beta build was found on Samsung's internal test servers.
- Another build spotted separately could indicate the first stable candidate instead.
- Samsung is still internally testing One UI 9 across the S26, S25, S24, S23, and Z Fold lines.
