Samsung devices that won’t receive One UI 9.0 (Android 17) update

Key Points:

• Google has released the stable Android 17 update for Pixel devices, with Samsung and other brands expected to roll it out soon, accompanied by Samsung's new One UI 9.0 skin likely arriving next month.
• Many Samsung Galaxy devices, including some high-end models like the Galaxy S22 series, Galaxy S21 FE, and Galaxy Z Fold 4, as well as several mid-range A-series and M-series phones, will not receive the Android 17 update due to having already received their promised OS upgrades.
• The list of ineligible devices is based on Samsung's current software update policy and includes models that received One UI 8.0 but will miss out on One UI 9.0, indicating these devices will no longer get major OS upgrades.
• Devices on the list may still receive security updates temporarily, but users are encouraged to consider upgrading to newer models to access the latest features and software improvements.
• Samsung offers Galaxy devices eligible for up to seven or six major OS updates, providing guidance for consumers seeking long-term software support in their next device purchase.
