Which Samsung Devices Are Excluded from One UI 9 and Android 17?
According to an analysis, over 20 devices will not receive the upcoming One UI 9 update with Android 17. This includes devices that previously received major software updates.
Key Models Left Behind
The list includes Galaxy S22, S22+, S22 Ultra, S21 FE, Z Fold 4, Z Flip 4, Tab S8, Tab S8+, Tab S8 Ultra, and various A and M series models like the A73 5G, A53 5G, A33 5G, A14 (4G/5G), A06 4G, A05, A05s, M53 5G, M33 5G, M14, M05, F53 5G, F33 5G, F14, F05 and XCover 6 Pro.

Beta Testing and Future Rollouts
The public beta for the new overlay began in May, initially limited to Galaxy S26 models on select markets. Testing will expand to other devices, starting with Galaxy S25 models, and then other phones.
