Although Samsung recently launched the One UI 9 update for Galaxy devices, reports and leaks about One UI 9.5 are already circulating. We have seen several leaks regarding design improvements and other changes that could arrive with the update. Now, newly leaked screenshots reveal two more features Samsung could implement.

Screenshots from an internal One UI 9.5 build recently surfaced on X, courtesy of Fahad Ali Javed. These images reveal that Samsung is working on a new dedicated "Satellite connectivity hub".

Satellite Connectivity for Emergencies

This upcoming hub could be a direct implementation of the Satellite SOS feature that Google first introduced on the Pixel 9 series. The feature will let users send messages and contact emergency services via satellite in areas where mobile data and Wi-Fi networks aren’t available. This addition will allow users to stay connected in remote areas when traditional networks fail.

To ensure users are prepared before a crisis occurs, the connectivity hub will include a demo mode. This will help users get acquainted with how the feature works in a safe environment. Furthermore, the software will provide an alignment guide to help them establish a stable satellite connection when needed.

New Developer Tools

The screenshots also show that One UI 9.5 might add a new “Debugging only” option in USB settings. This could sit beside existing options that appear when a Galaxy device is connected to another device with a USB cable. The “Debugging only” mode could offer developers a cleaner way to access ADB and other developer tools.

Currently, if a Galaxy device with USB debugging enabled is connected to a PC, it doesn’t show any notification alerting the user that the feature is active on their phone. It also doesn’t give users an easy way to ensure USB debugging isn’t being used while their phone is connected to a PC or another device.

Hopefully, the new “Debugging only” option will make it easier for users to enable or disable USB debugging access without heading to developer options every time.

Since these features were spotted in an internal build, there’s no guarantee Samsung will ship them in beta or stable builds of One UI 9.5. However, here’s hoping they make their way out of internal testing so Galaxy users can finally get native satellite SOS support and the new “Debugging only” USB mode.
