Last week, the first signs of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-s26-series-stable-one-ui-9-us-3714362\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">stable Android 17 update came from Galaxy S26 Ultra<\/a> owners on T-Mobile, but Samsung itself hadn\u2019t provided official confirmation. That picture is finally getting clearer, as Samsung has now updated its own support pages to confirm the stable release for more US carrier variants \u2014 and we\u2019re also seeing signs that unlocked phones are joining the party.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung\u2019s firmware pages now list stable One UI 9 builds for the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra on <a href=\"https:\/\/doc.samsungmobile.com\/SM-S948U\/TMB\/doc.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">T-Mobile<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/doc.samsungmobile.com\/SM-S942U\/TMK\/doc.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Metro by T-Mobile<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/doc.samsungmobile.com\/SM-S942U\/USC\/doc.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">US Cellular<\/a>. The Galaxy S26 series\u2019 US firmware carries build number S94xUSQU4BZID and includes a September 5, 2026 security patch. Samsung\u2019s support pages for these models are now live.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s movement on the unlocked side, too. An <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Kailash0729\/status\/2104458830478545136\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">X user has shared<\/a> a screenshot of the US unlocked Galaxy S26 Ultra receiving One UI 9, with firmware S948U1UEU4BZID and a download size of just 644.92MB. That relatively small package strongly suggests this particular update is for users moving from the final One UI 9 beta to stable rather than for those upgrading from One UI 8.5. The update notice also explicitly says the beta program has ended.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_xh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"US unlocked Galaxy S26 Ultra stable One UI 9\"  alt=\"US-unlocked-Galaxy-S26-Ultra-stable-One-UI-9\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/US-unlocked-Galaxy-S26-Ultra-stable-One-UI-9.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>We still haven\u2019t found equivalent official Samsung listings confirming the rollout for AT&amp;T, Verizon, or even unlocked models broadly, so availability may continue to vary for now.<\/p>\n<p>One UI 9 official changelog for the Galaxy S26 series<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, Samsung has finally published a proper, stable One UI 9 changelog for the Galaxy S26 series. We already saw several of these additions during the beta program, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-8-my-fancam-3690067\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">My FanCam<\/a> and expanded Galaxy AI features.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s everything Samsung says is included:<\/p>\n<p>Galaxy AI<\/p>\n<p>Enhanced Now nudge: Now nudge provides helpful suggestions in more places throughout your Galaxy experience. In addition to the keyboard, suggestions will now appear in conversation notifications and in a floating button in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

A blue indicator will appear at the top of the screen when an app accesses your location. Tap the indicator in the quick panel to see which app it is.<br \/>\nStronger security and privacy protection: Alerts will appear in your Now brief to let you know about risks from malware, apps from unknown sources, unnecessary permissions, and other issues that may put your security and privacy at risk.

Your target cardio load range adjusts daily based on your recent activity and training focus.<br \/>\nCheck your fitness index: Your Fitness Index is an overall score calculated using five key fitness metrics: body composition, cardio, strength, flexibility, and endurance. Set a goal and unlock personalized insights tailored to your results.<br \/>\nKeep your ears safe: The new Hearing tracker monitors sound levels detected by your Galaxy Watch and headphone audio levels to help you manage your exposure to loud sounds.<br \/>\nView your cycle and body rhythm: Get a more personalized view of your cycle and body rhythm with new cycle tracking options.
