Samsung Japan has listed forty specific Galaxy models that will receive the One UI 9 software update by the end of November 2026.

The rollout began in September with the Galaxy S26 series and has since moved to older hardware. The company has now published a detailed schedule for the remaining devices in the region. While the timing applies to Japan, the list of eligible hardware is expected to serve as a guide for global users.

The update covers a wide range of devices, from high-end flagships to budget tablets. The list includes the Galaxy S26, S26+, S26 Ultra, S25, S25 Ultra, S24, S24 Ultra, S24 FE, S23, and S23 Ultra. Foldable models on the schedule include the Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, Z Fold 6, Z Flip 6, Z Fold 5, and Z Flip 5. Mid-range phones such as the Galaxy A57, A55, A54, A36, and A25 are also included.

Tablets make up a large portion of the roster. Samsung listed the Tab S11 and S11 Ultra, Tab S10, S10+, and S10 Ultra, along with the Tab S10 FE and S10 FE+. The list also includes the Tab S10 Lite, Tab S9, S9+, and S9 Ultra, plus the Tab S9 FE and S9 FE+. Rounding out the group are the Tab S6 Lite (2024), Tab A11, Tab A11+/5G, and Tab Active 5 Pro.

The list is not exhaustive. It omits several obvious candidates, including the "Plus" versions of recent flagship phones and many Galaxy A models sold in other markets. Samsung has not yet provided a complete global list, so owners of missing devices should wait for regional announcements.

Samsung said the updates will arrive in Japan across October and November 2026. The company is expected to continue rolling out the software globally beyond that window. Many entry-level devices are likely to be updated through December and January. 9to5Google maintains a regularly updated list of devices that have already received the update.
