Samsung’s One UI 9, its Android 17-based software update, is now reaching more Galaxy phones in India. Galaxy S24 owners will have to wait a little longer. “Galaxy S24 One UI 9” has been one of the top tech searches in India over the past day.

What about the Galaxy S24?
The stable update for the Galaxy S24, S24+ and S24 Ultra started in South Korea on 6 October. Sammy Fans says users outside Korea should expect it from around 12 October, though Samsung hasn’t confirmed an India date. The Galaxy Z Fold 6, Z Flip 6 and Galaxy A57 are also getting it in Korea first.
The S24 series launched with Android 14 and comes with Samsung’s promise of seven years of Android upgrades, so One UI 9 is its third major update. Several mid-range phones, including the Galaxy A54, A16 5G, M34 and A07 5G, are on a public One UI 9 beta in India.

How to update
Go to Settings > Software update > Download and install. Samsung releases updates in stages, so it may not appear straight away. Use Wi-Fi and keep the phone well charged. Phones updating directly from One UI 8.5 should expect a download of over 4GB.
