What’s New in One UI 9 Beta 7 (ZZHK)?

Unlike typical late-stage beta releases that focus solely on minor maintenance, Samsung included a balanced mix of new user features, interface polish, and critical underlying fixes in this 7th update.

1. Unified Finder + Google Search Integration

Locating files, apps, and web information is now far more seamless. The updated system integrates device-wide Finder results directly with Google Search, allowing you to access local files and online queries from a single search interface.

2. My FanCam (Ported from Galaxy Z Fold 8)

One of the standout camera software additions from the Galaxy Z Fold 8 has landed on the Galaxy S26. My FanCam utilizes AI to keep subjects focused and centered, offering dynamic framing adjustments and intelligent tracking for dynamic video and photo capturing.

3. Custom Cards in Now Nudge

Samsung’s contextual assistant, Now Nudge, gains enhanced customization options. Users can now tailor individual alert cards, resize widgets, and prioritize specific automated recommendations based on daily usage patterns.

4. Expanded Galaxy AI Capabilities

Beyond My FanCam, Beta 7 incorporates additional generative AI utilities and system-wide intelligence tools directly from Samsung’s newest foldable generation to the traditional slab-style flagship lineup.

5. Intermittent Reboot & Stability Fixes

Several testers on previous beta builds reported unexpected system crashes. Beta 7 directly resolves these intermittent rebooting bugs, ensuring smoother daily performance as Samsung prepares for mass deployment.

6. Refined “Do Not Disturb” Controls

Managing notifications during quiet hours receives an intuitive overhaul. The “Do Not Disturb” configuration menu has been restructured to make setting schedules, managing exceptions, and toggling focus profiles far less confusing.

7. August 2026 Security Patch

Alongside functional upgrades, the update bundles the latest August 2026 Android security definitions to patch vulnerabilities and enhance device protection.

One UI 9 Stable Release Nears Final Launch

With Beta 7 addressing system instability while achieving feature parity with the Galaxy Z Fold 8, the beta testing cycle is entering its final stages. Samsung is rapidly finalizing the Android 17-based software layer, meaning Galaxy S26 owners can expect the official, public roll-out in the coming weeks.
