Summary
One UI 9 is now rolling out widely to recent Galaxy flagships, bringing Android 17-based upgrades that proved most useful in testing when they focused on practical editing, scanning and security tasks.
My FanCam leads the update by turning a wide video into a tracked close-up of one person inside Samsung Gallery, running on-device even in airplane mode, though it still requires a Samsung account.
Samsung also expanded Quick Panel customization and upgraded document scanning to better flatten curved pages, remove fingers, and reduce glare, making book and paper captures cleaner.
Now Brief gets custom generative cards for apps like Samsung Health and Weather, but card creation is capped daily and relies on off-device personal-data processing.
Security Brief adds real-time malware and suspicious-app alerts to the Now Bar, with support reaching back to the Galaxy S23 series as Samsung tries to make the long-underused feature more relevant.
