The Artistic Collaboration Behind the New Galaxy Ringtone

Every year, Samsung launches a new version of its iconic “Over the Horizon” ringtone. This year is no different, as the company released an epic, cinematic take on its traditional tune. However, with the launch of One UI 9.0 alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and foldable lineup, Samsung has also introduced a brand-new classical ringtone to its wide collection.

Samsung has created a new ringtone named “Chopin Nocturne Opus 9 Number 2,” which has debuted with One UI 9.0 on the recently launched Galaxy Z Flip 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8, and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. It is a piano composition inspired by Frédéric Chopin’s famous Nocturne in E-flat Major, Op. 9, No. 2, performed by Yekwon Sunwoo, who is the first Korean pianist to win the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2017.

You can watch the video below to see how the Chopin Nocturne Opus 9 Number 2 ringtone was created:

The ringtone was recorded and mixed at the Samsung Galaxy Sound Studios located within the Samsung Seoul R&D Campus in South Korea, in collaboration with Sound Mirror Korea and piano technician Hyungu Kang. To deliver precise instrument placement and an immersive spatial experience, the track was mixed in Dolby Atmos.

With its calm and serene tone, the composition works exceptionally well as an alarm, though you can also set it as the ringtone on your Galaxy phone or tablet. It will likely be added to older Galaxy devices when the stable One UI 9.0 update rolls out, as it is currently missing even from the Galaxy S26 series running One UI 9.0 Beta 5.
