Samsung continues to expand the rollout of its upcoming custom interface. After the One UI 9 beta launched on the Galaxy S26, the company has now taken another step by bringing this update, based on Android 17, to the Galaxy S24 series. Users of the S24, S24 Plus, and S24 Ultra can now try out the new features through the Samsung Members beta program.
According to SamMobile, this move demonstrates the manufacturer's effort to accelerate the rollout of its new operating system. Although the final version won't arrive for a few more months, this beta allows those who are eager to explore the improvements that One UI 9 will bring, including visual changes, new customization options, and greater privacy controls.

One of the highlights is the improved integration with Samsung DeX , which now displays desktop previews at the top of the recent apps screen, making it easier to switch between apps in PC mode. The quick settings panel has also been redesigned, with separate controls for brightness and volume, as well as the ability to rearrange shortcuts according to user preferences.
In addition, the update introduces improvements to the keyboard, privacy, and accessibility . Visual indicators are added when the camera, microphone, or location is active, and location permissions are strengthened. All of this is focused on making the system more intuitive and secure.
How do I get the beta version?
Owners of a Galaxy S24, S24 Plus, or S24 Ultra can download the beta version through the Samsung Members app. It's important to remember that this version is still in testing, so bugs or instabilities may appear. However, the company recommends updating for users who want to contribute to its development.
Samsung continues to expand the availability of One UI 9, which is now reaching an ever-wider range of devices. With this beta, Galaxy S24 users can experience firsthand the new features expected across the rest of the Galaxy family in the coming months. The arrival of this update to older models reinforces the brand's commitment to long-term support.
