Samsung's One UI 9 Beta 6 update for Galaxy S26 devices introduces a new 'Touch and hold for AI select' switch under Display > Edge panels settings. Users had complained that lingering too long while swiping out the Edge Panel would accidentally freeze the screen and launch AI Select. The new toggle lets users turn off that long-press behavior while still keeping AI Select accessible as a shortcut icon in the Edge Panel.

A leaked internal One UI 9 build on the Galaxy S25 Ultra shows Samsung testing Virtual Reflector, a software tool that brightens backlit subjects without overexposing the background. The feature originally launched on the Galaxy S26 Ultra and is being tested through Samsung's Expert RAW app, letting users adjust reflector color, reflectance, and light direction. Samsung has not confirmed a One UI 9 beta rollout for the S25 series, so the feature's inclusion remains unconfirmed.
