Samsung has published a specific list of 40 Galaxy phones and tablets that will receive its One UI 9 software update.
The document, released by Samsung Japan, outlines a rollout schedule for the country spanning October and November 2026. The update is built on Android 17 and follows the September debut of the software on the Galaxy S26 series.
The eligible hardware includes three generations of flagship smartphones. The list names the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra; the Galaxy S25 and S25 Ultra; and the Galaxy S24, S24 Ultra, and S24 FE. It also includes the Galaxy S23 and S23 Ultra. Foldable devices on the schedule comprise the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, Z Fold 6, Z Flip 6, Z Fold 5, and Z Flip 5.
Mid-range phones and tablets make up the remainder of the roster. Listed smartphones include the Galaxy A57, A55, A54, A36, and A25. The tablet lineup covers the Galaxy Tab S11, S11 Ultra, S10, S10+, S10 Ultra, S10 FE, S10 FE+, S10 Lite, S9, S9+, S9 Ultra, S9 FE, and S9 FE+. The list concludes with the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024), Tab A11, Tab A11+/5G, and Tab Active 5 Pro.
The document applies strictly to the Japanese market, though the device list is expected to mirror the global rollout. The schedule is not exhaustive. It omits several anticipated models, including the Plus variants of recent Galaxy S flagships and numerous Galaxy A series phones sold in other regions.
Samsung indicated that the initial wave of updates will conclude in November for Japan. The company is expected to continue the global distribution process beyond that timeframe, with entry-level devices likely to receive the update through December and January.
