One UI 9 update list: report names four U.S. Galaxy phones

PhoneArena reported on October 21, 2026, that Android 17-based One UI 9 was rolling out during that week to a preliminary list of Galaxy phones. In the United States, the list names four models; the report also groups phones across Iran, South Korea, Europe and the Middle East.

Galaxy phones named by region

PhoneArena assigned the following models to broad regions in its October report:

The U.S. entries are Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy A36 and Galaxy A37. PhoneArena warned that some unlocked units of those models in the United States and Europe might not receive the update by the end of the reported week.

Samsung’s stable rollout began with the Galaxy S26 series

Samsung announced on September 16, 2026, that the stable One UI 9 rollout, based on Android 17, was beginning with Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 Ultra. The company said One UI 9 had already debuted on Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Flip8, and that other Galaxy devices would receive the update gradually. Samsung’s rollout announcement sets that earlier milestone apart from the October regional list.

NeoTeo previously covered reports of One UI 9 reaching carrier-locked U.S. Galaxy S24 phones, a separate wave from the models in this October list.
