Samsung has published an eligibility list showing which Galaxy smartphones and tablets will receive the Android 17‑based One UI 9 update. The company’s Japan division posted the lineup and said the updates will begin rolling out during October and November 2026, with availability varying by market and carrier.

What this means for users in India
Samsung’s Japan schedule indicates the update window of October–November 2026, but the company notes rollouts differ by country and operator. That means owners in India may receive One UI 9 at different dates than those listed for Japan. Samsung’s regional pages and carrier channels usually confirm local timelines and beta programmes.
The list published by Samsung Japan does not necessarily represent the global or final eligibility roster. The announcement omits some model versions and additional A-series handsets; Samsung cautioned that devices not listed in this regional post could still be eligible for One UI 9 in other markets.
What to expect from the update
The post confirms these devices will receive the Android 17-based One UI 9 upgrade, but it does not detail feature changes, security patch timing or the precise rollout schedule for each model and region. Samsung’s regional support pages and official One UI release notes typically publish the full changelog and update packages when rollouts begin.
- Rollout window: October and November 2026 per Samsung Japan
- Variations by market: availability will vary by country and carrier; India schedules may differ
- Not a global list: regional post may omit models that receive updates elsewhere
Galaxy owners who want to check eligibility for their specific device should monitor Samsung’s India support channels and the Software update section on their phones. Carriers in India may also publish separate timelines for branded or carrier‑locked units.
