Stable Android 17 is out for Google Pixels, and soon other brands, including Samsung, will start rolling it out to their devices. For Galaxy devices, the update will come with a new One UI 9.0 skin on top, which is expected to be released as soon as next month.
Unfortunately, many Galaxy devices will miss out on this major upgrade, as they have already all the received OS upgrades promised at their launch. The list includes many Galaxy A-series mid-range phones, as well as some high-end phones such as the Galaxy S21 FE, Galaxy S22, and Galaxy Z Fold 4. Review the complete list below to find out if you’ll need a hardware upgrade soon.
These Galaxy devices are not eligible for the One UI 9.0 (Android 17) update
Note: Samsung doesn’t reveal which devices won’t receive the next major upgrade. This list is based on the current software update policy, and so it should be completely accurate.

To keep the list short and relevant, we only included devices that received the One UI 8.0 update but won’t receive One UI 9.0. That’s why you don’t see the Galaxy S21 on the list.
If your Samsung device is on the list, it’s unlikely to receive the Android 17 update. The device may still receive security updates for a while, but it’s best to upgrade to a newer model to keep receiving the newest features and upgrades.
Check out the list of Galaxy devices eligible for seven major OS updates or six major OS updates to find the next best upgrade for you.
