Samsung has revealed when more Galaxy phones and foldables will get its latest One UI 9 update, giving owners of the Galaxy S25 series, Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 a clearer timeline for the Android 17-based software.

The stable Samsung One UI 9 rollout has already started with the Galaxy S26 series, but the next phase is now approaching. Samsung's Thailand newsroom says the Galaxy S25 lineup and Galaxy Z7 series are scheduled to begin receiving the update from September 28.

The rollout is being conducted in stages, meaning the update may not reach every eligible device at the same time. Availability can also differ depending on the market, carrier and specific device variant.

One UI 9 release date for Galaxy S25, Z Fold7 and Z Flip7

The Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra are among the next devices scheduled for the stable One UI 9 update.

Samsung has also listed the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 for the September 28 rollout window. These devices had previously been part of Samsung's One UI 9 beta programme in markets including India, with beta access provided through the Samsung Members app.

For Indian users, however, September 28 should not be treated as a guaranteed India-wide release date. The schedule announced by Samsung's Thailand newsroom is specific to that market, while Samsung has indicated that software availability can vary by region.

What about the Galaxy S23 FE?

Owners of the Galaxy S23 FE will have to wait longer.

Samsung's roadmap places the Galaxy S23 FE One UI 9 update in October. The company has not specified an exact Indian release date for the phone in the announcement.

This puts the S23 FE behind the newer S25 series and Z7 foldables in Samsung's current rollout timeline.

One UI 9 features: What's new?

Samsung One UI 9 is based on Android 17 and brings a mix of Galaxy AI upgrades, personalisation features and changes to everyday device management.

One of the headline additions is My FanCam, a feature designed to follow a selected person while recording video and automatically adjust the framing to keep them in focus.

Samsung is also introducing further personalisation options and changes designed to make Galaxy AI more useful across supported Galaxy devices. The update includes improvements in areas such as accessibility, security and device management, alongside the changes coming with Android 17.

Samsung One UI 9 eligible devices: What Indian users should know

For users waiting for the update in India, the rollout is likely to be gradual rather than a single release across all eligible phones.

Samsung had already included India in its One UI 9 beta programme, with beta testing available for devices such as the Galaxy S25 series, Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 through the Samsung Members app.

Still, being part of the beta programme does not mean every Indian device will receive the stable update on the same date as another market.

Users can check manually by going to:

Settings → Software update → Download and install

If One UI 9 does not appear yet, it does not necessarily indicate a problem with the phone. Samsung may simply not have enabled the update for that particular region, carrier or device variant yet.

Samsung One UI 9 rollout timeline

For now, Samsung's announced schedule points to three key stages:

  • Galaxy S26 series: Stable rollout began first, with the wider rollout starting September 21.
  • Galaxy S25 series, Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7: Scheduled to begin receiving One UI 9 from September 28.
  • Galaxy S23 FE: Expected to receive the update in October, with no exact India date specified.
