By Pedro Barnes ·
Samsung Japan published a schedule for its upcoming One UI 9 software, identifying 40 specific Galaxy phones and tablets slated for an update in October and November 2026. The announcement provides the first official dates for the Android 17-based operating system outside of the initial September release.
The list includes the Galaxy S26, S26+, S26 Ultra, S25, S25 Ultra, S24, S24 Ultra, S24 FE, S23, and S23 Ultra. Foldable devices on the roster are the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, Z Fold 6, Z Flip 6, Z Fold 5, and Z Flip 5. Mid-range options include the Galaxy A57, A55, A54, A36, and A25.
Tablet recipients span multiple generations. The Galaxy Tab S11 and S11 Ultra, Tab S10, S10+, S10 Ultra, S10 FE, S10 FE+, and S10 Lite are all included. Older models such as the Tab S9, S9+, S9 Ultra, S9 FE, and S9 FE+ also appear. The list concludes with the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024), Tab A11, Tab A11+/5G, and Tab Active 5 Pro.
Samsung Japan stated that these updates will arrive across October and November 2026. While the dates are strictly for the Japanese market, the specific device list is expected to serve as a preview for global availability. The company has not yet announced specific dates for other regions.
The published roster is not exhaustive. It omits the "Plus" variants of recent Galaxy S flagships and numerous Galaxy A series models. Devices sold exclusively in other regions are also absent from this particular list.
One UI 9 launched in September 2026 on the Galaxy S26 series. It has since rolled out to several previous-generation devices. Global expansion is expected to continue beyond November, with entry-level hardware likely receiving the software through December and January.
