One UI 9 Hits Galaxy A35 and A55 as Global Rollout Expands

Overview

• Samsung began the global push when Galaxy A35 and A55 units outside South Korea started receiving One UI 9, with reports naming India as the first non‑Korean market to get the update.
• The company has added many recent A, M and F series phones to its Android 17 availability lists, expanding the update beyond S26‑era flagships to include models such as the A36, A37, A54, A56, A57, M54, M56, A15 and F17.
• One UI 9 brings specific changes: a freely resizable Quick Panel, improvements to Samsung DeX and Samsung Notes, accessibility upgrades, deeper Gemini AI integration, and a visible location privacy indicator.
• Rollout is staged by region and carrier and some acknowledged devices may not yet appear on public lists, updates are typically multiple gigabytes in size, and users can trigger manual checks via Settings → Software update → Download and install.
• Because the update first shipped with the Galaxy S26 in September and has moved gradually through flagships, Samsung will likely continue rolling One UI 9 to more midrange phones over the coming weeks as availability lists are updated.
