Samsung Galaxy S9, S9+ and Note 9 Will Get Updated to One UI in January 2019

Samsung hosted the Samsung Developer Conference (SDC 2018) in San Francisco, California on Wednesday. At the SDC keynote event, Samsung announced that its foldable phone is a reality, however, as many expected, it didn’t launch the phone. The South Korean smartphone manufacturer just announced the Infinity Flex Display panel which will be used on the foldable phone. This panel Samsung says will let users use the phone as a smartphone as well as like a tablet when the folds are opened. In addition to this, Samsung also announced One UI which will run the foldable phone. Besides that, the company also mentioned that Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9+, and Galaxy Note 9 receive One UI based on Android 9.0 Pie in January next year.

Samsung One UI: Features

Almost all Samsung Galaxy smartphones launched in the past couple of years are based on Samsung Experience, which offers a range of new features to users. Meanwhile the new UI – One UI – is aimed at offering much more smooth and comfortable UX. Samsung further notes that the UI is working with the existing hardware – which means phones with curved edges and thin-bezel or what Samsung calls the Infinity Display and also with the next-generation form factors like foldable smartphones. Samsung is set to launch its first foldable phone in 2019, possibly at MWC 2018, with the company’s own Infinity Flex Display panels, the company has announced.
