Samsung Electronics launches One UI 9 official update…sequential rollout starting with Galaxy S26

Published2026.09.17 08:20

Multiple AI-based new features including 'My FanCam' and 'Security Brief' added, global expansion planned

Samsung Electronics has launched the One UI 9 official update for Galaxy smartphones in Korea. Beginning with the Galaxy S26 series, the company will gradually expand support to additional devices, with enhanced personalization and security features as key characteristics.

Samsung Electronics announced on the 17th that it will begin the One UI 9 update rollout domestically on the 16th, followed by sequential global market expansion.

One UI 9, first introduced in July with three Galaxy Z series models, now extends its application scope to the Galaxy S26 series, with plans to gradually expand support to additional devices thereafter.

The new 'My FanCam' feature automatically tracks a specific person in a video and places them in the center of the screen.

Users can create videos highlighting their desired subjects without separate editing.

'Now Brief' adds a 'My Card' feature that allows users to configure cards directly, enabling arrangement of items such as health, weather, and videos according to user preference.

'Now Nudge' analyzes message context to suggest situationally appropriate features such as retrieving reservation information and saving shared locations.

The 'Warranty and Care' menu consolidates △warranty period verification △self-diagnosis △estimated repair cost inquiry △Samsung Care+ management △service center reservations in a single location.

The 'Interpreter' feature has added a 'Thread View' that organizes and displays previous conversation flows, and the speed of translation voice delivery when using Galaxy Buds has been improved.

'Creative Studio' proposes image generation ideas tailored to major scheduled events.

From a security perspective, 'Security Brief' has been newly established within Now Brief.

Security issues such as malicious apps, apps from unknown sources, and unnecessary permission usage are periodically summarized and provided, with integration allowing immediate action on each item.

The on-device AI-based 'Privacy Alerts' proactively warns of potential threats such as unauthorized permission access attempts.

However, support is limited to certain products, and not all risks are detected.

The voice phishing detection feature 'Scam Detection' has expanded supported countries to include Japan, Canada, and India.

Additionally, a function to analyze AI voice modulation of the caller has been added.

When modulation signs are detected, real-time warnings are provided through call screen popup, notification sound, and vibration.

This feature is provided exclusively for domestic use, and may be restricted in overseas-purchased devices.
