One UI 9.0 Changelogs [Beta, Galaxy S26]

Samsung has recently opened the beta program for One UI 9.0 earlier today for the Galaxy S26 users in four eligible countries, with India and Poland to participate on the 26th of May to come. This version of One UI 9.0 is a rather minor version, with one major feature focusing on changes related to the Quick Panel, and an upgrade to Android 17 to be released this year with Gemini Intelligence.

The beta program is now running, while One UI 8.5 is still being rolled out to more devices and regions, including the Galaxy S24 which received the update this week. Here are the changes that were made to the software (source):

More customizable quick panel
You can now rearrange and customize the controls in your quick panel even more than before. You can change the size of the brightness and volume sliders as well as the media player. You can also separate the sound mode button from the volume slider.

Samsung DeX enhancements
It’s easier to move an app window from one desktop to another using the menu at the top of the window. Desktop previews are now available at the top of the Recents screen, making it easier to switch with a single tap.

Do more with notes
The new Tape feature in Samsung Notes let’s you cover parts of your note with tape and reveal them when needed. A variety of new pen styles have also been added, giving you even more options for writing and drawing.

More settings in Game Booster panel
Adjust your game settings without stopping the action. You can now access screen resolution, screenshot format, and more directly from the Game Booster panel.

Location access transparency
Stay on top of your location privacy. A blue indicator will appear at the top of the screen when an app accesses your location. Tap the indicator in the quick panel to see which app it is.

Discover new Accessibility features
Check the What’s new menu in Accessibility settings to learn about and try the latest Accessibility features for your Galaxy.

Text spotlight for easier reading
Need a closer look? Tap any text on the screen to show it enlarged and highlighted in its own window. You can also customize the font size, colors, and other settings to match your preferences.

Physical keyboard shortcuts
Use shortcuts on your physical keyboard to access the Accessibility settings you need without touching the screen.

Mouse keys enhancements
New options are available when using your keyboard for mouse interactions including speed and acceleration control. You can also use the keyboard’s number pad to point and click.

Replace swipe with single tap
The Replace swipe with single tap option is now located on Dexterity and interaction menu instead of the Assistant menu for easier access.

Select to speak
Get quick audio readouts without turning on full TalkBack. With the new Select to speak feature, you can select an item on your screen, like text or an image, and hear it read or described out loud.

Improved TalkBack updates
Through continuous collaboration, Samsung and Google’s TalkBack features have been unified. TalkBack updates can now be applied with a simple app update from the Play Store.

Please note that Samsung might not have opened the Beta program in your country yet, even if your country is eligible for beta testing. In this case, you’ll have to wait for the beta banner.

To join the Beta Program, you must have the latest version of Samsung Members installed. You can get the latest version through either the Galaxy Store or the Play Store. Once done, you should be able to join the program if you have an eligible device.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Review: Choice Improvements, But Nothing Groundbreaking #androidphones #galaxys26ultra #mobilephones #reviews #s26ultra #samsung

https://www.lowyat.net/2026/387745/samsung-galaxy-s26-ultra-review-choice-improvements-but-nothing-groundbreaking/

Samsung officially releases the Galaxy S26 series!

This year’s flagship phone series has finally been released as of March 11th, with the phone series available for purchase, after 2 weeks of pre-orders! Depending on your country and your region, the Galaxy S26 is already waiting for you in the Galaxy stores.

The flagships have been engineered with the most advanced capabilities as a third-generation Galaxy AI phone, which becomes the agentic phone thanks to new, powerful AI features. Incredible performance, industry-leading camera system, and more powerful Galaxy AI make the Galaxy S26 series the most exciting series to date!

Galaxy S26 Ultra introduces the first built-in Privacy Display technology! With narrow pixels and wide pixels to control the light to make it only be visible to you or to everyone, you can now confidently use your phone without worrying about your privacy. This keeps the shoulder-surfers from snooping on your phone, especially when it comes to banking, messaging, and more.

The Galaxy S26 series also features the most powerful camera system, with the wider camera apertures that allow you to capture images in low-light environments with more clarity, even when zoomed in. Super Steady reduces the camera shake to make consistent framing easier to achieve, even when fast-paced activities are involved. Enhanced Nightography Video makes the footages captured in low-light environments clearer and more vibrant!

Advanced Professional Video codec also makes it to the Galaxy S26 series, marking it as the world’s first Galaxy device to support this codec, with efficient compression and high-quality videos that are lossless, even after many edits. This is optimized for advanced creators. AI Image Signal Processor now extends to the selfie camera, allowing your selfies to look more natural, especially when it comes to skin tones.

The Galaxy S26 series also introduces a customized mobile processor, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, which achieves maximum performance with significant gains across the CPU (increased by 19%), the GPU (increased by 24%), and the NPU (increased by 39%).

The redesigned, improved, bigger vapor chamber also allows your phone to handle intensive tasks without worrying about overheating. The heat spreads more efficiently across a larger surface area, which results in the device staying cool thanks to improved heat dissipation.

Galaxy AI reduces the steps between intent and action to make your life easier and simpler. Now, you won’t have to worry about every single little detail, such as a forgotten appointment.

• Now Nudge: This feature helps users stay in the flow without being distracted. Galaxy AI understands the context and automatically suggests the relevant action, resulting in saved time without having to switch apps.
• Now Brief: Introduced last year with the Galaxy S25 series, Now Brief has become more personalized, with timely reminders for important events, thanks to Galaxy AI and its improvements set in stone with the Galaxy S26.
• Circle to Search with Google: Improvements made to Circle to Search resulted in multi-object searching becoming possible, so users can now explore multiple parts at once.
• Bixby: Upgraded Bixby now allows you to have a more conversational agent that searches the web and suggests the most relevant setting for your device, using natural language.

There’s much more to come, so the Galaxy S26 series comes in three variants: Base, Plus, and Ultra. The base variant is priced at $899, the Plus at $1,099, and the Ultra at $1,299.

„Samsung Galaxy S26“ serija – evoliucija su privatumo prieskoniu. Gamintojas atsisakė titano ir naudojo sustiprintą aliuminį.

Ryškiausia naujiena – „S26 Ultra“ dizaino pokytis: kampai tapo labiau užapvalinti nei pirmtako, telefonas delne guli patogiai, tačiau sumažino S-Pen.

Nors kamerų sensoriai liko tie patys kaip S25 Ultra, kai kuri optika pasikeitė: pagrindinio modulio diafragma prasiplėtė iki f/1.4 (47 % daugiau šviesos), o 5x teleobjektyvo iki f/2.9.

Ekranas gavo integruotą privatumo technologiją, slepiančią turinį nuo pašalinių žvilgsnių. „Ultra“ veikia „Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5“, o kiti modeliai turi „Exynos 2600“ procesorius.

DI tapo ašimi: „Now Nudge“ agentas padeda bendrauti, o „Creative Studio“ kuria turinį.

Ausinės „Buds4“ stebina galvos gestų valdymu ir skaidriu dėklu.

S26 serija – galimas pasirinkimas nebent senesnių S21/S22 savininkams, ieškantiems balanso tarp galios, fotografijos ir DI galimybių.

YouTuber en Dubái ya compró el Galaxy S26 Ultra y muestra su diseño real

A pocos días del evento oficial Galaxy Unpacked, el secreto mejor guardado de Samsung ha quedado al descubierto de la forma más inesperada. Un YouTuber residente en Dubái ha logrado adquirir una unidad de venta final del Galaxy S26 Ultra y ha publicado un video detallado que confirma no solo su diseño, sino también algunas de las funciones de hardware más esperadas para este 2026.

La filtración, confirma que las unidades ya están circulando en mercados internacionales antes de la fecha permitida. En el video, se observa claramente el nuevo chasis de titanio de grado aeroespacial, que este año presenta bordes notablemente más redondeados que su predecesor, buscando mejorar la ergonomía de un dispositivo que sigue siendo de grandes dimensiones.

https://twitter.com/KaroulSahil/status/2025581350062023069

Lo que revela el «unboxing» anticipado:

• Pantalla Anti-Snooping: El video muestra por primera vez en funcionamiento la nueva pantalla con filtro de privacidad integrado. Al inclinar el teléfono, el contenido se oscurece drásticamente para los laterales, confirmando que la tecnología revelada hace unos días es real y efectiva.
• Módulo de Cámara Refinado: Aunque mantiene la disposición de sensores del S25, los anillos de las cámaras son ahora más grandes y cuentan con un acabado metálico texturizado. El YouTuber destaca un nuevo sensor principal que promete un rendimiento mejorado en condiciones de luz extremadamente baja.
• Adiós a las aristas: El cambio más comentado es la curvatura de las esquinas. Aunque la pantalla sigue siendo totalmente plana para facilitar el uso del S Pen, el cuerpo del teléfono es más redondeado, lo que lo hace sentir más delgado y cómodo en la mano.
• Colores de lanzamiento: La unidad mostrada luce un nuevo color denominado «Titanium Silver», con un acabado mate que parece resistir mucho mejor las huellas dactilaras que versiones anteriores.

Samsung en alerta máxima

Este «unboxing» accidental es un duro golpe para la estrategia de comunicación de Samsung, especialmente después de que la compañía estrenara recientemente un sistema de chat interno ultraseguro para evitar, precisamente, este tipo de fugas. Sin embargo, cuando el producto llega a los canales de distribución y minoristas, el control se vuelve mucho más difícil.

¿Cuándo llegará oficialmente?

A pesar de que ya hay personas utilizándolo en Dubái, la fecha de lanzamiento oficial y disponibilidad global se mantiene para principios de marzo, justo después del Mobile World Congress. Samsung no ha emitido comentarios sobre el video, pero se espera que las reclamaciones por derechos de autor lo hagan desaparecer de las plataformas en las próximas horas.

Get ready for the event!

Samsung presenta la pantalla «Anti-Snooping» del Galaxy S26 Ultra – El fin de los curiosos en el transporte público

A solo días de su lanzamiento oficial, Samsung ha revelado una de las funciones más innovadoras y necesarias de la serie Galaxy S26: una pantalla con tecnología anti-espionaje integrada. El Galaxy S26 Ultra será el primer smartphone del mercado en utilizar un panel dinámico capaz de estrechar el ángulo de visión de forma inteligente para que nadie, excepto el usuario, pueda ver lo que ocurre en el dispositivo.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8oghHiG-Ds

¿Alguna vez has sentido la mirada de un extraño en tu teléfono mientras respondes un mensaje privado o revisas tu cuenta bancaria? Samsung quiere eliminar esa incomodidad. Según el reporte de Phandroid, la nueva pantalla «Anti-Snooping» utiliza una capa de cristales líquidos activos que, al activarse, bloquean la visibilidad desde los laterales (ángulos mayores a 30 grados). Mientras tú ves la pantalla con total claridad y brillo, la persona a tu lado solo verá un panel oscuro o borroso.

Privacidad impulsada por IA

Lo que hace que esta tecnología sea superior a los protectores de pantalla físicos tradicionales es su integración con la cámara frontal y la inteligencia artificial:

• Activación Automática: Gracias a los sensores del dispositivo, el S26 Ultra puede detectar si hay un par de ojos extraños enfocados en la pantalla y activar el filtro de privacidad de forma automática.
• Modo Inteligente: El filtro solo se aplica cuando el teléfono detecta que estás en un entorno público o cuando abres aplicaciones marcadas como «sensibles» (bancos, apps de mensajería cifrada o carpetas seguras).
• Sin pérdida de calidad: A diferencia de los filtros de plástico, esta tecnología no afecta la resolución ni la precisión del color cuando el usuario mira de frente, manteniendo la calidad 2K del panel Dynamic AMOLED 3X.

El S26 Ultra como el «Fort Knox» de los smartphones

Esta función es la pieza final del ecosistema de seguridad de Samsung para 2026. Junto con el nuevo procesador Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, el S26 Ultra busca posicionarse como el dispositivo más seguro del mundo, combinando hardware de privacidad física con el cifrado de datos de Knox Matrix.

Se espera que esta tecnología sea exclusiva del modelo Ultra en su lanzamiento, dejando a los modelos S26 y S26+ con paneles tradicionales, aunque con mejoras en brillo máximo. Con este movimiento, Samsung no solo compite en potencia de cámara o procesador, sino que ataca un problema real de la vida cotidiana: la privacidad en espacios concurridos.

Galaxy S26: Die Rückkehr der Speicher-Preise

Dilema en Samsung – Los costos de producción complican el precio final del Galaxy S26

Samsung se enfrenta a una encrucijada estratégica con su próximo buque insignia. Según un reporte de PhoneArena, la compañía está teniendo serias dificultades para fijar el precio de venta de la serie Galaxy S26, debido a un aumento significativo en los costos de los componentes que amenaza con reducir sus márgenes de beneficio o ahuyentar a los consumidores (Fuente Thebell).

¿Por qué subiría el precio del S26?

Varios factores de la cadena de suministro están presionando a Samsung para que aumente el precio de salida, una decisión que la empresa ha intentado evitar en las últimas generaciones.

Los culpables del aumento:

• El «Impuesto» de Qualcomm: El nuevo chip Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (o Snapdragon 8 Gen 5) es considerablemente más caro que su predecesor. Se estima que el costo por unidad podría superar los $200, lo que representa una parte masiva del presupuesto total del hardware.
• Memorias RAM para IA: Con el despliegue de funciones de IA más complejas en One UI 8, Samsung necesita equipar incluso a los modelos base con más RAM (mínimo 12 GB o 16 GB), cuyos precios de mercado han subido.
• Nuevos Sensores de Cámara: La actualización de los sensores de teleobjetivo y ultra gran angular en el modelo Ultra también ha sumado dólares extra al costo de materiales (BoM).

La Estrategia: ¿Absorber el costo o trasladarlo?

Samsung se encuentra atrapada entre dos opciones difíciles:

1. Aumentar el precio: Podría elevar el precio base del S26 en unos $50 o $100, arriesgándose a perder cuota de mercado frente al iPhone 17 o competidores chinos con precios más agresivos.
2. Recortes en otros componentes: Mantener el precio de $799/$999 utilizando materiales más económicos en la parte trasera (plástico en lugar de cristal en el modelo base) o pantallas con tecnologías menos eficientes.

El factor Exynos: Una forma de ahorrar sería usar el chip Exynos 2600 en más regiones, pero Samsung sabe que los usuarios entusiastas prefieren el rendimiento y la eficiencia de Snapdragon, lo que añade presión a la decisión.

Samsung starts working on the Galaxy S26 firmware

The rumored Galaxy S26 device that will replace the current Galaxy S25 flagship series introduced this January has reached the next stage of development. According to the test firmware information found in the official firmware servers for the two known models, the Galaxy S26 has entered firmware development, and One UI 8.5 will most likely debut by the time that the Galaxy S26 gets announced in the Galaxy Unpacked January 2026 event. This was first discovered by a Korean member in the community forums.

As the initial post was made for the Galaxy S26 Ultra, we’ve taken a step further and scanned the Galaxy S26 Edge and all the available Korean CSCs, and found that they all bear the same build number, as below:

The following firmware information for the Galaxy S26 Ultra is available:

• SM-S948N: S948NKSU0AYJ5 [KOO, SKC, KTC, LUC]
• SM-S948U: S948USQU0AYJ6 [TMB]
• SM-S948U1: S948U1UEU0AYJ5 [XAA]
• SM-S948B: S948BXXU0AYJ5 [INS, EUX]

The following firmware information for the Galaxy S26 Edge is available:

• SM-S947N: S947NKSU0AYJ5 [KOO, SKC, KTC, LUC]
• SM-S947U: S947USQU0AYJ6 [TMB]
• SM-S947U1: S947U1UEU0AYJ5 [XAA]
• SM-S947B: S947BXXU0AYJ5 [INS, EUX]

However, the rumored Pro model, which is supposed to be SM-S946N, is not available yet as we checked. This is just the start of the development, so more information will be officially available as the announcement date of the device gets closer. This matches what SammyGuru reported for the IMEI database for the upcoming devices that were placed back in June.
