Enhanced Galaxy AI helps users do, create, and understand more across devices
LAHORE, Pakistan – Sept. 16, 2026 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the expansion of One UI 9 to more Galaxy devices, with the rollout beginning today starting with the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra. One UI 9 brings an easier, more seamless mobile experience across form factors, as well as enhanced Galaxy AI that is richer, more personal, and more helpful.
New Features Help Users Capture, Personalize, and Manage
One UI 9 introduces new ways to keep people in focus, tailor the information users see each day, and manage device care more easily.
- My FanCam[1] automatically tracks a selected person in a recorded video and keeps them centered, intelligently reframing the footage as the scene moves. This allows users to turn dynamic moments into social-ready content with less manual editing. Whether it’s a child’s performance, a friend on the dance floor, or an exciting moment during a sporting event, users can instantly put the focus on the person they want to see.
- The new Generative and Editable Cards on Now Brief[2] help users choose what appears in their daily summaries. Users can create cards across health, weather, and video so their daily brief reflects the information most relevant to them.
Enhanced Capabilities Help Users Do More With Less Effort
One UI 9 builds on familiar Galaxy experiences to help users complete everyday tasks with fewer steps. Context-aware suggestions and timely creative prompts — as well as improvements to translation, scanning, and recording.
- Now Nudge[3] can surface timely, context-aware suggestions across more moments in the Galaxy experience, helping users take the next step without breaking their flow. For example, if they are making plans via text message, users can quickly recall reservation details or save a location directly from a conversation.
- Creative Studio now suggests image-generation ideas based on relevant upcoming events. For example, when a friend’s birthday is approaching, users may see a prompt to create a themed image or greeting, allowing them to quickly create something meaningful for the occasion.
- Interpreter[4] introduces a new Thread View that enables users to better follow translated conversations by quickly referencing earlier exchanges. In addition, faster translation in Conversation Mode and quicker playback with compatible Galaxy Buds help reduce delays, making conversations feel more natural and continuous.
- Document Scan now allows users to digitize challenging materials such as curved book pages and corner-folded papers with less manual adjustment. The large-screen-optimized views on compatible Galaxy devices, along with an improved Finger Eraser, help create cleaner and more usable scans.
- Voice Recorder presents summaries in a clearer, more structured format, using elements such as headings and tables to make key information easier to scan at a glance.
Enhanced Security and Privacy Help Users Stay Informed and in Control
One UI 9 continues Samsung’s approach to security and privacy with transparency, choice, and control built into the experience. The latest updates help users better understand when something may need their attention and make it easier to take action.
- Security Brief brings key security and privacy updates like alerts for malware, apps from unknown sources, and unnecessary permissions to Now Brief, helping users identify potential issues earlier and determine when action is necessary.
- Enhanced Privacy Alerts[5] use on-device AI to identify potential privacy risks, including unnecessary attempts to access permissions in the background, giving users greater awareness of how their information is being accessed.
- Scam Detection[6] expands to additional countries[7] and languages, bringing protection against potential scam calls to more Galaxy users across supported markets.
