Summary
Galaxy A55 users in Korea can now join Samsung’s One UI 9 beta, getting early access to the Android 17-based update before the wider rollout later this year.
The first beta build, version ZZI1, weighs more than 2.1GB and is available through the Samsung Members app, with users installing it from the standard software update menu after enrollment.
One UI 9 brings interface tweaks, more customization and AI-powered features, though Samsung warns beta software may include bugs and stability issues.
The A55 launched in 2024 with Android 14 and One UI 6.1, making One UI 9 its third major Android upgrade under Samsung’s four-generation update promise.
Samsung had already opened the beta to the Galaxy A57, A56, A36 and several flagship models, signaling a broader stable release may be approaching.
