Samsung has already begun shipping the to select Galaxy devices, starting with the Galaxy S26 in September, with more devices this month.
However, like with the previous major release, the rollout is staggered, and which devices are supported has been a guessing game since the start.
Even so, Samsung hasn't provided the official list of Galaxy phones and tablets that will get the latest .
If you're wondering whether your device is eligible for One UI 9, Samsung has cleared up the haze, at least for select models.
Samsung confirms if your device is getting One UI 9
And it's a long list
Samsung Japan has published the official list of Galaxy phones and tablets sold in the country that will be upgraded to One UI 9, as 9to5Google spotted (via Android Headlines). It details the carriers and timing of the update, indicating when it will hit these devices.
It's not a complete catalog, as many global variants are still missing, but it's as extensive as you can get right now.
Even the mid-range Galaxy A56 and Galaxy A35 launched recently and aren't on the list, possibly because they weren't officially launched there.
The update will start shipping this month and continue through November and December. But some models like the Galaxy S23 FE are listed to receive the upgrade in January 2027.
- Galaxy S25, S25+, S25 Edge, S25 Ultra
- Galaxy Tab S10, Tab S10+, Tab S10 Ultra
- Galaxy Tab S10 FE, Tab S10 FE+
- Galaxy Tab S9, Tab S9+, Tab S9 Ultra
- Galaxy Tab S9 FE, Tab S9 FE+
No One UI 9 for these older devices
Galaxy S22 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 are officially stuck on One UI 8.5
More importantly, it confirms that some popular past models won't get an Android 17 update, at least based on the shared table.
For instance, the Galaxy S22 series, including the Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra, is not listed. The Galaxy S21 FE is also among the handsets that won't receive Android 17.
This aligns with Samsung's software policy for these products, which were pledged four generations of major OS upgrades.
However, they will still get regular security maintenance, but Samsung has switched to quarterly releases instead of monthly patches.

Meaningful tweaks over flashy redesigns
Based on Android 17, , refined visual adjustments, and new features.
Shortcuts on the quick panel now resize dynamically, and users can pin a Smart Finder tool directly to the home screen. There's also an option to show on the status bar, courtesy of Good Lock's QuickStar module.

Meanwhile, handsets supporting Galaxy AI will gain for automatic reframing and subject tracking during video recording, while and also pick up welcome customization enhancements.
Overall, One UI 9 is timid on new features, but it emphasizes stability, which I have enjoyed on my Galaxy Z Flip 7 for a week now. Battery life has improved while performance is more stable than before.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra brings a more powerful Snapdragon processor and Privacy Display. It's now cheaper at select retailers.
