Forget One UI 8: One UI 9 leaks surface – Will your Samsung Galaxy get the next major Android update?

Samsung’s One UI 9, the next major version, is now confirmed in the latest leaked software build. With recent leaks confirming development has begun, many Galaxy users are wondering whether their devices will be eligible for this significant update.

Disclaimer: This list is based on Samsung’s historical software update patterns and official support policies. Samsung typically provides 4-7 years of major Android updates, depending on the device tier. The actual rollout timeline and device eligibility may vary based on regional factors, hardware limitations, and Samsung’s final decisions.

How Samsung determines update eligibility

Samsung’s update policy is straightforward: devices receive major Android updates based on when they launched and the promised support duration. Flagship devices typically get 7 years of updates, while mid-range models receive 4-5 years. Since One UI 9 will be based on the next Android version (current version is Android 16), any device that falls within Samsung’s support window and can handle the new features should receive the update.
