One UI 9: Samsung finally names the list of devices for the big update
Now the adapted Android 17 update is coming for other Galaxy devices: Samsung is confirming for the first time which smartphones and tablets will get One UI 9. The update will be distributed for most devices by December.
One UI 9 device list for the major update
Anyone who owns a Galaxy smartphone knows the ritual. As soon as Google introduces a new Android version, the puzzle begins: Will my device get the update, and if so, when? This was also unclear for a long time with One UI 9, Samsung’s new interface based on Android 17. The distribution started long ago. The Galaxy S26 series started in September, with further models following this month. However, Samsung has not yet published an official list of all supported smartphones and tablets.
Now there is at least a partial answer, and it comes from Japan. Samsung Japan has listed which Galaxy devices sold there will receive One UI 9. The list also names mobile phone providers and the appropriate dates. She discovered it 9to5Google. However, the overview is not complete because some international variants are missing. However, it is the most comprehensive orientation to date and is therefore of corresponding importance for Samsung users in Germany. According to the list, the One UI 9 update will be rolled out gradually from this month until December. Individual models have to wait longer. The Galaxy S23 FE, for example, is only scheduled for January 2027.

Final stop One UI 8.5?
It’s also exciting to see who’s missing. The Galaxy S22 series with S22, S22+ and S22 Ultra does not appear, nor does the Galaxy S21 FE. The Galaxy Z Flip 4 also remains loud Android Police is available with One UI 8.5. This fits in with Samsung’s update commitment for these devices, which includes four major Android versions. But the owners are not completely left behind: security updates are still available, but only quarterly instead of monthly.
