While Samsung may have initially struggled to push One UI 9.0, the rollout is now in full swing. Over a dozen Galaxy devices are now running the latest software, but still, there are many yet to be upgraded. However, the brand has already started testing One UI 9.5 extensively.
Samsung has been doing the One UI 9.5 internal testing for quite a while now, but that was mostly restricted to top-tier flagships, including the Galaxy S26 series and Galaxy Z8 series. But it has recently been spotted for the mid-range Galaxy A57 with the firmware version A576BXXU6CZJ1.
An even cheaper Galaxy A17 5G has just showed up on the company’s servers running One UI 9.5, identified by the firmware version A176BOXM8EZJ1.
Obviously, these are internal builds, which are not available for public testing. It also doesn’t mean that the update will be rolled out to these devices anytime soon, but it shows that Samsung is laying the groundwork well in advance.
What’s unusual though is that the brand usually starts testing the upcoming software on high-end devices before trickling down to mid-range and cheaper models. But the latter models have already gotten into the mix.
The Galaxy S26 series was the first to enter the One UI 9.5 internal testing a few months ago, then the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8 followed last month, and now more affordable phones, such as the Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A17 5G, have started to show up with early builds. Expect more to follow in the coming week as we gear up for the stable release around February 2026 with the Galaxy S27 series.
