Summary
Android 17 QPR2 Beta 3 points to Samsung’s One UI 9.5 roadmap, reinforcing leaked Galaxy S26 builds that showed a glass-style redesign, native App Lock and deeper Quick Settings editing.
Beta 3 adds custom Dynamic Color accents, four theme styles and a blurred lockscreen on Pixels—foundational UI changes that align with Samsung’s rumored Glass UI direction rather than stock Android’s final look.
App Lock is the clearest carryover: Android now supports locking apps from the long-press menu with fingerprint or PIN checks, hidden notification content, and removed widgets and shortcuts.
Quick Settings also gains a layout editor with 6 arrangement options, while Samsung is expected to fold that into its more heavily customized Quick Panel.
Samsung has reportedly begun internal One UI 9.5 testing on 4 Galaxy S27 models, with Android 17 QPR2 due stable in December and a Samsung beta likely to follow.
