A leaked timeline suggests Samsung's One UI 9 update will begin rolling out to Galaxy S26 and S25 devices between late August and September. While unconfirmed, the schedule aligns with typical release patterns for the company's flagship software.
Why it matters
Timely software updates are critical for maintaining device security and performance for millions of Samsung users worldwide.
If you've been eagerly waiting for Samsung's One UI 9 update, a new leak might give you a rough idea of when your Galaxy device could finally get it. Just don't take it as official, at least not yet.
A tipster on social media claims Samsung Customer Support shared the following rollout timeline in a Samsung Members community post:
Early August: One UI 9 ships pre-installed on new Galaxy devices.
Late August to September: Stable rollout begins for the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S25 series.
Late 2026: Older Galaxy flagships, Galaxy A series phones, and tablets receive the update.
The post also claims this information came directly from Samsung, but here's the catch: we have no way to independently verify that claim. We also haven't seen Samsung publish this timeline through any official newsroom or software update channel.
