Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 will come to India soon

The upcoming Galaxy smartwatches are expected to be unveiled in this summer’s Galaxy Unpacked event that may be held on July 22nd, alongside the upcoming foldables that will also become available across markets. The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is one of the upcoming Galaxy smartwatches that will succeed the first Galaxy Watch Ultra released in the summer of 2024.

However, there is a new pointer that led us to the fact that Samsung has just recently obtained the approval to release the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 in India. This means that the upcoming smartwatch will be available there for people to purchase it when it gets released. Earlier, the smartwatch passed China’s regulatory checkpoints.

According to 91mobiles, the smartwatch has just received the BIS certification! This means that the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 has passed all required regulatory checkpoints for the device to be approved to become available in the Indian market.

The 5G cellular version is expected to be available for the first time in the Galaxy Watch series, which means that 5G is now available independent of your phone. Additionally, Snapdragon Wear Elite is expected to power this upcoming Galaxy smartwatch, along with an on-device AI, which means that voice commands and health insights, along with other AI-powered features, will happen on the watch itself without your phone.

The bigger battery is also expected to come to your smartwatch, with a 784mAh battery cell powering your smartwatch to improve your battery life for your smartwatch.

Samsung finally adds the network speed meter through QuickStar!

Samsung fans have long awaited the network speed meter feature in the status bar, which shows you the total network speed as it gets used. This speed is a combination of both the upload and the download speed, which gets shown on your phone. Users have always used a third-party application, with Internet Speed Meter Lite as the most commonly used application, to gain this functionality, but today’s QuickStar update (version 11.0.03.15) for One UI 9.0 has something to add.

If you are running One UI 9.0 Beta on your Galaxy S26, you can finally access the long-awaited feature that lets you access the current network speed! Through QuickStar settings, you can enable it by going to Indicator Icons > Network Speed.

Currently, this functionality is only available for those who are running One UI 9.0 Beta on their phones, and the stable rollout of One UI 9.0, which will happen in the second quarter of this year, makes sure that this feature becomes available to many users whose devices are eligible for this version of One UI.

This feature, however, is not available for those who are running One UI 8.5 or lower at this time. If you are still using those versions of One UI, you may want to consider downloading a third-party network speed meter application.

To update QuickStar once it becomes available, check the Galaxy Store or the Good Lock app.

Galaxy A57 enters One UI 9.0 testing!

Not too long after the Galaxy A57 was released worldwide, the middle-ranger device has entered testing of One UI 9.0, which is based on Android 17 Cinnamon Bun. This version of One UI brings improved Samsung Notes that has more pen styles and other tools, improved Creative Studio that allows you to create personalized profile cards for your contacts effortlessly, and flexible Quick Panel that allows further customization.

The test build of One UI 9.0 has been spotted on test servers, with SM-A576B as the model and EUX as the CSC. According to Tarun Vats, official internal testing of One UI 9.0 for the Galaxy A57 has started.

The following information is available:

• SM-A576B: A576BXXU3BZF3

If the expansion of the beta program of One UI 9.0 happened, the Galaxy A57 might enter the beta program. If this happened, you’ll be able to join the beta program in eligible countries. Currently, there is no information as to when the expansion actually happens.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy A57 is already receiving monthly security updates since the initial launch, and Samsung is expected to roll out this month’s security patch for this phone somewhere during June. This builds confidence for users who care about their phone being secure.

To update your Galaxy A57 to the latest monthly security patch, follow these steps:

1. Open Settings, and navigate to System Update
2. Tap on Check for Updates
3. Press Download and Install
4. Wait until the download and the installation is complete, then press Reboot Now
5. Wait until the phone reboots successfully

Make sure that you’re connected to a stable and fast Wi-Fi network to avoid high mobile data fees. Never interrupt the update in any way, or problems could occur later. Make sure that you apply all available updates once you update your phone for maximum stability. An update might take 2 to 5 minutes to apply, depending on the device and the type of the update being applied.

If you’re seeing “Your software is up to date,” this means that the update hasn’t reached your device yet. Keep checking for updates, as Samsung rolls it out gradually to all devices from country to country, usually starting from Korea.

The #S24U #OneUI 8.5 update is the best #Android update I've had in a decade

Samsung globally expands One UI 8.5 for the Galaxy A54!

The time has finally come for users outside Korea, with One UI 8.5 reaching absolute stability! When One UI 8.5 was under development for the Galaxy S25 series, the flagship Galaxy S26 was unveiled to people around the world, and Galaxy A57 and A37 came after, all running One UI 8.5.

Starting from today, we are so excited to announce that One UI 8.5’s availability is currently expanding for the Galaxy A54 users!

The expansion, however, didn’t happen for those who are already using the Galaxy A34.

The following firmware information is found:

• SM-A546B: A546BXXUJFZE9 [EUX]

To update your Galaxy to One UI 8.5, follow these steps:

1. Open Settings, and navigate to System Update
2. Tap on Check for Updates
3. Press Download and Install
4. Wait until the download and the installation is complete, then press Reboot Now
5. Wait until the phone reboots successfully

Make sure that you’re connected to a stable and fast Wi-Fi network to avoid high mobile data fees. Never interrupt the update in any way, or problems could occur later. Make sure that you apply all available updates once you update your phone for maximum stability. An update might take 10 to 20 minutes to apply, depending on the device and the type of the update being applied.

If you’re seeing “Your software is up to date,” this means that the update hasn’t reached your device yet. Keep checking for updates, as Samsung rolls it out gradually to all devices from country to country, usually starting from Korea.

El parche de seguridad de Samsung de junio 2026 corrige 45 vulnerabilidades

La actualización incluye 33 correcciones de Google —cinco críticas y 28 de alta severidad— y 12 fixes propios de Samsung que afectan componentes como Samsung Account, Samsung Cloud, Smart Suggestions y Theme Manager. El despliegue comenzará en Corea del Sur y se extenderá en días al resto del mundo (Fuente Sammobile).

Samsung detalló su actualización de seguridad Android para junio de 2026, y el número habla por sí solo. El parche aborda un total de 45 vulnerabilidades de seguridad en dispositivos Galaxy, incluyendo 33 correcciones de Google para problemas a nivel Android —cinco calificadas como críticas y 28 como de alta severidad— y 12 correcciones específicas de Samsung que cubren componentes como Samsung Account, Samsung Cloud, Smart Suggestions, Theme Manager, Settings y otros servicios de One UI.

En el detalle técnico, 11 de los fixes son provistos por Samsung MX y uno por la división de semiconductores Samsung Exynos, que corrige una vulnerabilidad en el controlador DRM HDR. La mayoría de las correcciones propias de Samsung afectan dispositivos con Android 14, Android 15 y Android 16.

Vale la pena destacar un dato adicional: este parche de seguridad está incluido también en la actualización beta de One UI 9.0 lanzada para el Galaxy S26, por lo que los usuarios del programa de pruebas ya lo tienen disponible.

En cuanto al despliegue, la actualización aún no está llegando a los dispositivos al momento de publicación de este artículo, pero se espera que el rollout comience pronto, muy probablemente iniciando en Corea del Sur. Las actualizaciones de Samsung suelen expandirse a otros mercados en cuestión de días, por lo que la espera no debería ser prolongada. Los dispositivos más nuevos recibirán la actualización primero, aunque esto no es una regla fija.

Those features will be available in this year’s upcoming Galaxy Watch series, which is expected to be unveiled on July 22nd.

Vitals

This feature analyzes five important bio-signals, which are:

• heart rate
• heart rate variability
• respiratory rate
• skin temperature
• blood oxygen

Those key factors mentioned above are then compared against a baseline that indicates true resting. Any meaningful deviations from those baselines will result in an alert, which tells users that they need rest. Additionally, it can also tell users that they’re fighting an illness without causing alert fatigue.

Heart Health Score

This metric, which is updated daily, takes the Vascular Load score and combines it with the body composition data, and gives you a unified score as an output. This output is then used to identify the user’s habit of user’s long-term well-being, which gives you an overall heart health.

Daily Cardio Load

This feature analyzes your accumulated cardiovascular strain by combining daily load and maximum training capacity and gives you recommendations of optimal training targets and rest times.

This way, you can ensure that you can reach your workout goals more efficiently without running into burnout or injury risks.

Fitness Index

Ensures exercise routines are working by analyzing metrics, such as:

• Heart rate
• VO2 max
• Daily steps against your peers

The fitness index comprises of five key elements:

• Body composition
• Strength
• Flexibility
• Endurance
• Cardio

When those are taken into account, it delivers tailored content and personalized goals so that you can make continuous, targeted improvements.

Other improvements

In addition to the four above features that will make it to the upcoming Galaxy Watch series, Samsung Health has gone through a redesign that now organizes the layout into five core pillars:

• Sleep
• Activity
• Nutrition
• Mindfulness
• Vitals

You can now easily access daily wellness tips along with the Energy Score.

Upgraded capabilities, such as the improved Antioxidant Index which now gives you a clearer roadmap of a nutritional intake, with trend charts and daily history logs, and AGEs Index that now works in the background to capture automatic overnight measurements.

Hearing Health also gives you personalized analytics by measuring the noise surrounding the Galaxy Watch. Those analytics give you recommendations to protect your ears, regardless of whether you’re in a loud, noisy place, such as festivals, or raising the music volume during the workout session.

The upcoming Galaxy Watch series will soon allow you to utilize those features to get more personalized health insights, and the upcoming Galaxy Health update, which is expected to roll out from June 8th, will give you those features on your phone.

Starting from today, we are so excited to announce that One UI 8.5’s availability is currently expanding for the Galaxy A25 users!

The following firmware information is found:

• SM-A256E: A256EXXUCEZE6 [INS]

Samsung’s 2022 flagships have reached four generations of promised OS upgrades

Samsung released the Galaxy S22 series and the Galaxy Tab S8 together during the Galaxy Unpacked 2022 event, while the Galaxy Z Fold/Flip4 foldables were released later. The most striking change that was announced during the event was that Samsung would start providing longer periods of software updates, with 4 generations of OS upgrades and 5 years of security updates, which was a promising change. The Galaxy S24, two years later, then extended this promise to span 7 generations of OS upgrades and 7 years of security upgrades for longevity.

It has been confirmed that the flagship and middle-ranger Galaxy devices that were released in 2022, such as the Galaxy S22, Z Fold/Flip4, Tab S8, and A33/A53, won’t get the One UI 8.5 update as Samsung re-evaluated plans for this version of One UI and eligible devices. Therefore, we can now say that the flagship Galaxy devices have reached mainstream support EOL, with about 9 months remaining for future security updates based on One UI 8.0.

The above devices were running One UI 4.1, with the exception of the Galaxy Z Fold/Flip4 that ran One UI 4.1.1 when it was revealed on August 2022. Since then, they have been provided with the following One UI versions (approximate dates due to regional differences):

• One UI 4.1.1 (September 2022)
• One UI 5.0 (October-November 2022)
• One UI 5.1 (February 2023)
• One UI 6.0 (November 2023 – February 2024)
• One UI 6.1 (May 2024)
• One UI 6.1.1 (September 2024)
• One UI 7.0 (April-May 2025)
• One UI 8.0 (October 2025)

This marks a huge generational leap between what we had in the past, which was One UI 4.1 (based on Android 12) and what we have now, which is One UI 8.0 (Android 16). According to the promise made by Samsung when unveiling those flagships, the 2022 flagships have reached 4 generations of OS upgrades, with no further updates other than the security updates being planned for those devices. Users can guarantee continued security upgrades until around 2027, when security updates will stop completely.

We got our hands on to all One UI versions that were released for the Galaxy Tab S8, and we’d like to offer you some blast from the past that was from when we had the device on June 2022, 4 months after the initial release (please note that they were showcased from the Galaxy Tab S8):

• One UI 4.1.1 showcase
• One UI 6.1 (Galaxy AI: generative wallpaper)
• One UI 6.1.1 showcase
• One UI 7.0 showcase (wallpaper suggestions, app archives)
• One UI 8.0 showcase (Finance)

We did not have a chance to showcase One UI 5.0, 5.1, 5.1.1, 6.0, and 6.1 properly due to lack of resources at the time, but we’re glad that we have shown you some of the journey, especially in late stages. From the introduction of the Taskbar that added extra productivity to the Galaxy Tab S8 users to a complete redesign of the UI that started from One UI 7.0 and an adaptive clock design that was introduced in One UI 8.0, the 2022 flagships have seen a very interesting journey of One UI that went through several improvements, with One UI 7.0 as the most interesting point.

As of today, the May 2026 security update has been expanded to a few more Galaxy users who are still using the 2022 flagships. This was done to keep those devices more secure.

The 4-generation journey for the 2022 flagships was very interesting, but the introduction of 7 years of security updates and 7 generations of OS upgrades will make it even more interesting for those who are using 2024 flagships and later. Similarly, the 6-year security updates and 6-generation OS upgrades reach select Galaxy A devices, including the A37 and the A57, which presents a similar interesting journey moving forward.

As a reminder, to update your Galaxy, follow these steps:

1. Open Settings, and navigate to System Update
2. Tap on Check for Updates
3. Press Download and Install
4. Wait until the download and the installation is complete, then press Reboot Now
5. Wait until the phone reboots successfully

Make sure that you’re connected to a stable and fast Wi-Fi network to avoid high mobile data fees. Never interrupt the update in any way, or problems could occur later. Make sure that you apply all available updates once you update your phone for maximum stability. An update might take 10 to 20 minutes to apply, depending on the device and the type of the update being applied.

Samsung updates the list of supported devices in June 2026 SMR!

Samsung has re-evaluated the supported devices list as of this month as of today, and you can see the updated list in full here. We have run a comparison of supported models, and the results are now in:

The following devices have been removed from the list:

• Quarterly security patches
  • Galaxy A13
  • Galaxy M53 5G

This means that support for both the Galaxy A13 and the Galaxy M53 5G has been removed and the devices will no longer get security patches anymore. The last upgrade was made for the A13, which upgraded this phone to One UI 6.1 (XSG – July 4th, 2024). Similarly, the last upgrade for the M53 5G was to One UI 8.0 (XSG – November 3rd, 2025). Unfortunately, this means that One UI 8.5 won’t reach the Galaxy M53 5G.

The upcoming foldable series, the Z8 series, is expected to get monthly security patches, given the flagship nature of the device and the history of the Galaxy foldable series. As for the Galaxy A27, it is expected to get quarterly security patches.

Samsung’s 2022 flagships receive the May 2026 security update, is One UI 8.5 next?

Samsung has started pushing the One UI 8.5 update to the newest flagship devices that were released last year and older flagship. This came after the Galaxy S26, the A37, and the A57 were released with One UI 8.5 already pre-installed.

According to the latest info found on the firmware servers, the Galaxy S22, the Galaxy Z Fold/Flip4, and the Galaxy Tab S8 all received the One UI 8.0-based May 2026 security patch update that fixes all vulnerabilities found since the February 2026 security patch. Currently, this update is only available in Korea, but the expansion is expected to be in next week, with the possibility of One UI 8.5 being released for those devices somewhere in the middle of June.

The following firmware information is found:

• Samsung Galaxy S22
  • SM-S908N: S908NKSS9GZE5 [KOO]
  • SM-S906N: S906NKSS9GZE5 [KOO]
  • SM-S901N: S901NKSS9GZE5 [KOO]
• Samsung Galaxy Z Fold/Flip 4
  • SM-F936N: F936NKSS8IZE2 [KOO]

The security update is expected to be released for the rest of the countries next week to ensure that those devices become ready to receive One UI 8.5 when it releases.

Meanwhile, various Galaxy A devices, such as the entry-level Galaxy A07 5G, were already receiving the One UI 8.5 update in different countries. So, we expect that more devices will get the One UI 8.5 update in the next coming weeks. Only time will tell if One UI 8.5 will actually land to those devices, having already reached their 4 generations of OS upgrades.

One UI 8.5 support for our projects

Samsung has begun rolling out the One UI 8.5 update to Korea early this month and widened the rollout to many countries and models, starting from the Galaxy S25. This is a big moment for those who are owning the Galaxy S25 smartphone, but others will have to wait until it’s their turn.

We are currently planning the One UI 8.5 support for our projects, and our evaluations have concluded that One UI 8.5 is still suffering from the library dependency loading problem that One UI 6.1 broke when it comes to starting up PulseAudio with the below command:

 pulseaudio --start --load="module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1 auth-anonymous=1" --exit-idle-time=-1 

Nitrocid, Terminaux, BassBoom, and all other projects will be tested under this environment over the course of our official support duration. However, in One UI 8.5, PulseAudio needs to be loaded like this:

 LD_PRELOAD=/system/lib64/libskcodec.so pulseaudio --start --load="module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1 auth-anonymous=1" --exit-idle-time=-1 

As of today, we are excited to announce that One UI 8.5 is now fully supported for our projects starting May 28th! We are very thrilled to provide official support for those who are using our projects in One UI 8.5. We can now guarantee that our projects work under this version of One UI that was first unveiled to the Galaxy S26, the A37, and the A57 devices before the official rollout started.

Alongside that, India and Poland can now finally get their first taste of One UI 9.0 in the Galaxy S26 with the first beta on May 26th. This is what Samsung promised in the Korean version of the announcement in Samsung Newsroom.

The second beta version of One UI 9.0 is now available to fix some bugs and to incorporate general improvements across the whole operating system based on user feedback and internal evaluation, according to Tarun Vats.

Meanwhile, One UI 8.5’s stable rollout is still ongoing for more devices, with the Galaxy S22, the Z Fold/Flip4, and the Galaxy Tab S8 being the last flagship devices eligible for this platform update, essentially setting the end of the line for future software upgrades. Those devices are, however, expected to receive the May 2026 security patch before One UI 8.5 as per the quarterly rollout schedule.

1. Open Settings, and navigate to System Update
2. Tap on Check for Updates
3. Press Download and Install
4. Wait until the download and the installation is complete, then press Reboot Now
5. Wait until the phone reboots successfully

Make sure that you’re connected to a stable and fast Wi-Fi network to avoid high mobile data fees. Never interrupt the update in any way, or problems could occur later. Make sure that you apply all available updates once you update your phone for maximum stability. An update might take 10 to 20 minutes to apply, depending on the device and the type of the update being applied.
