What's expected to change vs One UI 9:
- Possible major redesign with a glass-like look
- Based on Android 18
- More agentic AI features, with Galaxy AI and Gemini Intelligence
- More customization options
- Improvements to Samsung DeX and Secure Folder
- A "Galaxy OS" rebrand is rumored, but the source is dubious
Expected release timeline:
- The stable release of One UI 10 is expected around July 2027 on the Galaxy Z Fold 9 and Z Flip 9, with older devices following in August.
One UI 10 release date
- No official date has been revealed yet. The stable release is expected around July 2027, debuting on Samsung's 2027 foldables
| One UI version | Stable release first available |
|---|---|
| One UI 10 (Android 18) | July 2027* |
| One UI 9 (Android 17) | July 22, 2026 |
| One UI 8 (Android 16) | July 9, 2025 |
| One UI 7 (Android 15) | April 10, 2025 |
The stable version of the OS before One UI 10, One UI 9, debuted on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold 8, and Galaxy Z Flip 8 in July 2026. It started rolling out to Galaxy S26 phones on September 16, 2026.
If Samsung were to follow this strategy, you should expect One UI 10 to debut on the Galaxy Z Fold 9 and Flip 9 in July 2027, with older flagships getting it at a later time. Android 18 is expected to go stable around June 2027, a few weeks before Samsung launches the new foldables.
One UI 10 supported Galaxy phones
- No official list yet. Galaxy S23 and newer are expected to be supported, with S23 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 / Flip 5 getting it as their last major update
| Galaxy device | Market release date | One UI 10 support |
|---|---|---|
| Galaxy S27 series | Expected early 2027 | Yes |
| Galaxy S26 series | February 26, 2026 | Yes |
| Galaxy S25 series | February 7, 2025 | Yes |
| Galaxy S24 series | January 31, 2024 | Yes |
| Galaxy S23 series | February 17, 2023 | Yes (final upgrade) |
| Galaxy Z Fold 9, Z Flip 9 | Expected June 2027 | Yes (out of the box) |
| Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Flip 8 | August 7, 2026 | Yes |
| Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7 | July 25, 2025 | Yes |
| Galaxy Z Fold 6, Z Flip 6 | July 24, 2024 | Yes |
| Galaxy Z Fold 5, Z Flip 5 | August 11, 2023 | Yes (final upgrade) |
| Galaxy A: select models (A57, A56, A55, A37, A36, A35, A26, A25, A17, A16, A15, A07) | Various years | Yes |
| Galaxy Tab S12 series | Expected late 2026/early 2027 | Yes |
| Galaxy Tab S11 series | September 20, 2025 | Yes |
| Galaxy Tab S10 series | October 3, 2024 | Yes |
| Galaxy Tab S9 series | August 11, 2023 | Yes (final upgrade) |
Keep in mind that the list above is based on expectations, not an official list by Samsung. It also covers the FE variants of the S, Z Flip, and Tab lines. Older A-series models such as the Galaxy A54, A34, and A24 are expected to get their last major upgrade with One UI 10.
The Galaxy S22 series is likely not getting One UI 10, given it also didn't get One UI 9.
One UI 10 design
- No official design details yet
- A floating, orb-like AI agent icon appears in that concept
- A rebrand to "Galaxy OS" is rumored, but take this rumor with a grain of salt for now
Samsung hasn't officially revealed anything about One UI 10's design at this time. However, the company recently showed the Fluid AI Design System, a concept that won a Red Dot Design Award in 2026.
The system represents an interface that adapts itself to the context you're in. In this concept, apps and widgets have a glass-like finish, and an icon to represent the AI agent is also seen.

That icon also moves around the screen and has an effect of a magnetic pull on nearby elements, which can curve as it passes, and light up if it touches them. The company has not said, however, that this design would make it in One UI 10.
For reference, One UI 9 was a refinement update instead of a redesigning one, with a darker Now Bar, squarer widget corners and an adjustable Quick Panel. One UI 10 would be a bigger change, if these rumors are to be believed.
One UI 10 top features
- No confirmed features yet
- More agentic AI is expected, with Gemini Intelligence and Galaxy AI taking on more background tasks
- More customization, redesigned apps and widgets
- Better Samsung DeX and Secure Folder
- A more detailed AI Assistant Activity timeline possible

AI agents and Galaxy AI
One UI 9 brought Gemini Intelligence, an AI agent that handles multi-step tasks across apps. The update also brought Gemini Notebook, smarter Now Brief and Now Nudge, and an AI Assistant Activity dashboard.
With One UI 10, the expectation is that the AI agent gains more capabilities. What those would be is still unknown. The dashboard may also need to become more detailed.
Customization and apps
We expect Samsung to offer more customization options with One UI 10, but what those would be is anyone's guess at this point. The company also needs to pay a little update attention to Samsung DeX.
Meanwhile, more apps may get layouts for foldable screens.
Ecosystem
Carried over from One UI 9
The One UI 9 features that are most likely to return are Quick Share and AirDrop working in both directions, Smart Switch transfers from iPhone by QR code, Privacy Alerts, and the Warranty and Care hub in Settings.
One UI 10 beta releases
- There's no beta program just yet – Android 18 developer previews are expected in the first half of 2027
- The One UI 10 beta is expected to start around May 2027
Samsung's beta program is likely to follow Google's with Android 18. Android 18 previsions are currently expected in early 2027, so expect the One UI 10 beta program to start around May 2027.
We currently expect four to six beta builds. Likely, the Galaxy S27 lineup will be the phones that would get access to the beta first in select regions.
The stable One UI 10 version is likely to officially come with the Galaxy Z Fold 9 lineup and the Flip 9 in July 2027.
For reference, the One UI 9 beta ran for about four months on the Galaxy S26 before the stable release arrived. As with One UI 9, the beta would likely be available through the Samsung Members app on supported devices. Remember to back up your phone before installing any beta build, as pre-release software can be unstable.
