Samsung's Android 17 update, called One UI 9, is now on most recent Galaxy phones: the S23 to the S26, the Fold and Flip 5 and newer, and a long list of A, M and F models. To check if yours is ready, open Settings > Software update and tap Download and install.
The stable rollout started on September 16, 2026 with the Galaxy S26 series. It has been spreading by model and region since then, and Samsung has not published a fixed schedule.
Which Galaxy devices have Android 17 so far
This is the list of models that had received the stable update as of November 11, 2026, according to 9to5Google's tracker:
- Galaxy S: S26, S26+, S26 Ultra, S25, S25+, S25 Ultra, S25 FE, S25 Edge, S24, S24+, S24 Ultra, S23, S23+, S23 Ultra.
- Galaxy Z: Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, Z Flip 7 FE, Z TriFold, Z Fold 6, Z Flip 6, Z Fold 5, Z Flip 5.
- Galaxy A: A57, A37, A27, A17, A07, A56, A36, A26, A16, A55, A35, A15, A54, A34.
- Tablets: Tab S11, Tab S11 Ultra, Tab S10 Lite.
- Others: M47, M17, F17, M07, F07, M56, M36, F56, F36, M35, M16, M54, F54, F70 Pro, XCover 7 Pro.
The Galaxy S26 FE, Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 shipped with One UI 9 out of the box. If your model is on the list and you still see nothing, the update has probably not reached your country or carrier yet.
How to install One UI 9 step by step
- Back up anything you care about first. Samsung recommends it before a software update.
- Connect to Wi-Fi and charge the phone. Samsung asks for enough battery, and some carriers only offer updates over Wi-Fi.
- Open Settings and tap Software update. On some models it is called System updates.
- Tap Download and install. Depending on your carrier, the button may read Check for software updates instead.
- If an update shows up, it downloads. You can then pick Install now, Schedule install or Later.
- Leave the phone alone while it installs. During the process you cannot use it, and that includes emergency calls.
Got a smaller update first? Samsung notes you may need to repeat the steps more than once, depending on your current software version. Still stuck? Connect the phone to a PC or Mac running Smart Switch, which can also install updates over USB.
What changes once you are on One UI 9
Do not expect a redesign. One UI 9 builds on the look Samsung introduced with One UI 7. The changes I would try first:
- a Warranty and care menu in Settings, with your warranty information and diagnostic checks;
- a quick lockdown: hold Volume down and the Side button together, and biometrics are blocked for the next unlock;
- a blue indicator at the top of the screen when an app uses your location;
- more control over the Quick panel, including the size of the brightness and volume sliders;
- a new lock screen clock that adapts to your wallpaper.
Quick answers
How do I check which software version I have?
Go to Settings > About phone > Software information. The One UI version is listed there. One UI 9 means you are on Android 17.
Why has my Galaxy not received One UI 9 yet?
Samsung releases updates in stages, depending on your location and carrier. The same model can get it weeks apart in two countries. Check Software update every few days, or turn on auto download over Wi-Fi on the same screen so it arrives on its own.
Will my Galaxy get Android 17 at all?
If you have a Galaxy S23 or newer, or a Z Fold 5 or Z Flip 5 or newer, it is already on the list above. For other models, compare with the list. If your phone is missing and a few years old, it may be past its last major update.
