When Will the Stable Update Arrive?
Samsung is expected to release the stable version of One UI 9 in July 2026. The update could debut alongside the company’s next-generation foldable smartphones before expanding to older flagship devices.
The rollout is expected to begin with the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S24, and Galaxy S23 series, followed by Galaxy Z foldables and then mid-range A, M, and F series devices later in the year.
As always, software release schedules may vary depending on country, carrier approval, and device model. Users are advised to keep their devices updated and back up important data before installing major Android upgrades.
