TL;DR Samsung has released the seventh One UI 9 beta for the Galaxy S26 series.
The 1,234MB update (firmware ZZHK) includes the August 5, 2026, security patch and introduces new AI features, though Samsung hasn’t detailed which ones.

Earlier this week, Samsung released One UI 9 Beta 6 for the Galaxy S26 series. Samsung usually goes a few weeks between beta releases, and while we hoped for a stable update to finally roll out, there were indications that Samsung was working on yet another beta update.
