Samsung
Electronics today announced the launch of the Samsung
Experience 9.0 beta, part of the Galaxy beta program which offers select
customers a chance to experience new features available through the Galaxy
ecosystem.
Previously known
as TouchWiz, Samsung Experience is based on the Android OS and has expanded
beyond the user interface to provide Galaxy users with a consistent and
seamless experience across all Samsung mobile software, apps and services. This
change is in recognition of the increasing suite of unique services Samsung has
developed for the Galaxy devices.
Following Samsung
Experience version 8.5, which was released with the Galaxy Note8, Samsung
Experience 9.0 is based on the latest version of the operating system built on
the Android Oreo UI and UX, and will be available on the next flagship Galaxy
device.
Samsung is
launching a Samsung Experience 9.0 beta program for select customers. Starting
on November 2, 2017, Galaxy S8 and S8+ users based in South Korea, the U.S. and
the U.K*. will have the opportunity to preview the upcoming Samsung Experience
9.0 before its official release, with additional rounds of registration.
The beta period
will allow Samsung to gather helpful insights and feedback from customers on
their first impressions of the Samsung Experience 9.0 beta’s performance** and
usability during the testing period*** to develop a more reliable,
high-performing software package and provide Galaxy users with an improved and
optimized experience.
To apply for the
program, users must have an active Samsung Account
and meet certain requirements. The Galaxy beta
program may be provided via the Samsung Members app or the Samsung+
app for the U.S.,
which are available through the Google Play store or Galaxy Apps, depending on
the user’s country of residence.
For more
information, please visit the Samsung Members FAQ for Korea, the U.S. and the U.K.

locked to SKT, KT or LG U+.
In the U.S., it is available for Galaxy S8 and S8+
users using Sprint or T-Mobile network carriers, or have purchased an unlocked
version for the U.S.
In the U.K., the
program is available for Galaxy S8 and S8+ users who have an open market device

occur.
