Galaxy Z Fold 7 One UI 9 Updates: They Started

by · Droid Life

So many Samsung devices began seeing One UI 9 updates yesterday and the fun only continues today, now with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 up next.

Both of Samsung’s foldables from 2025 are seeing One UI 9 and Android 17, although it may only be in Korea at this time. The rollout for this update, just like the rollout for the Galaxy S25 series, does not appear to be wide. And that sort of makes sense, since all of these devices only recently joined the One UI 9 Beta Program.

One UI 9 for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is rolling out as build F966NKSUCCZIH, while the Galaxy Z Flip 8 is seeing build F766NKSUCCZIH.

The update is large and could be several GB in size, unless coming from the beta program. If that’s your device, it could still be several hundred MB.

The full list of One UI 9 changes can be found below for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and we’ve translated it for you. Things like Galaxy AI are at the top, but there are also changes to things like the multi-window controls, Quick Panel, Samsung Health, Bixby, and more.
