Is Your Samsung Phone on the List? 19 Devices Getting Their Final OS Update (Android 17)

Samsung’s One UI 9.0, built on the framework of Android 17, has officially made its debut on the company’s latest foldable lineup. As the highly anticipated rollout prepares to expand to older models, the milestone comes with a bittersweet reality for millions of users: for 19 specific Galaxy smartphones and tablets, this major software overhaul will serve as their final Android OS upgrade.

While the South Korean tech giant is widely celebrated for its industry-leading software support, legacy hardware lifecycles eventually reach their absolute limit. A careful review of Samsung’s official update roadmap reveals that a substantial roster of fan-favorite premium, mid-range, and tablet devices will culminate their major feature journey with Android 17.

The Complete List of Devices Maxing Out at Android 17

The following 19 devices are guaranteed to receive the One UI 9.0 (Android 17) update, but will not be eligible for Android 18:

Device Category	Impacted Galaxy Models
Galaxy S Series	Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy S23 FE
Galaxy Z Series	Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5
Galaxy A, M, & F Series	Galaxy A54 5G, Galaxy A34 5G, Galaxy A24 4G, Galaxy M54 5G, Galaxy M34 5G, Galaxy F54 5G, Galaxy F34 5G
Galaxy Tab Series	Galaxy Tab S9, Galaxy Tab S9+, Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, Galaxy Tab S9 FE, Galaxy Tab S9 FE+, Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024)

What This Means for Current Owners

If your daily driver is on the list above, there is no immediate need to panic. The end of major OS upgrades does not mean the end of device support.

• Continued Security Patches: All listed devices will continue to receive critical security updates for a minimum of one year post-Android 17, ensuring your data remains protected against emerging vulnerabilities.

• Minor Feature Updates: Because Samsung’s incremental updates are often tied to the current OS version, many of these devices are highly likely to receive the subsequent One UI 9.5 patch sometime next year.

Once the One UI 9.5 cycle concludes, however, Samsung will officially halt all new feature deployments for these specific models.

Planning Your Next Upgrade

For consumers still holding onto these devices, the Android 17 rollout provides a comfortable runway to start planning your next hardware purchase. If software longevity is a priority for your next device, Samsung has recently shifted its strategy for its newest flagship models, actively offering an unprecedented seven years of major Android OS upgrades.

As the One UI 9.0 deployment accelerates, users can expect prompts to download the update in the coming weeks and months, ushering in the final major chapter for some of Samsung’s most popular hardware.
