Android 10 for Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ and Note 9 snapdragon USA variants

Soon after the Exynos variants received the Android 10 beta update globally, Samsung released the same for the Snapdragon variants too. If you head over to the Samsung Members app on you phone, then you will most likely see the new One UI 2 beta program for the Galaxy S9/S9+ and Note 9 devices. Itโ€™s been long since the first beta came out in the United States for the Snapdragon variants. Today, a new Android 10 beta 2 ZSL9 build is rolling out for all the OneUI 2.0 beta testers.

Yes, Samsungโ€™s Android 10 beta program is now live in the United States. However, this only comes to the Unlocked Snapdragon Galaxy S9 and Note 9 variants. The carrier locked variants like T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon may directly receive the stable Android 10 update. Or you could simply convert your locked variant to unlocked one and get the OTA yourself. So any unlocked variants from any of the carriers can update their S9 and Note 9 to this ZSL9 build.

The new One UI 2.0 firmware update features new build numbers G965U1UEU7ZSL9 for the Galaxy S9+ (SM-G965U1), build G960U1UEU7ZSL9 for the Galaxy S9 (SM-G960U1), and build N960U1UEU3ZSL7 for the unlocked Note 9 (SM-N960U1). The same update came to the global Exynos Galaxy S9 and Note 9 variants with the latest Android 10 beta 3 last week. Moreover, stable One UI 2.0 OTA updates are already rolling out for Galaxy S10 and Note 10 right now across the globe. The S9 and Note 9 are set to receive the stable update starting January 2020 in some regions.

Whatโ€™s new with Android 10 beta 2 for Snapdragon S9 and Note 9 ZSL9/ZSL7:
