- Follow the instructions if One UI 9 is available.

When Will One UI 9 Arrive?
Samsung releases major software updates gradually. Newer flagship devices generally receive updates before older models, while availability can vary between countries and carriers.
If the update does not appear on your phone immediately, it does not necessarily mean your device is unsupported. You can check again later.
Will Older Galaxy Phones Get Android 17?
Not every Galaxy phone will receive Android 17. Samsung’s update eligibility depends on the device’s original software-support commitment and other factors.
Some older Galaxy models may therefore remain on their current Android and One UI versions.
