Galaxy S26 owners will have to wait for One UI 9. Samsung quietly postponed the date Home News Samsung postponed the stable One UI 9 rollout for Galaxy S26 outside Korea from September 21st to 28th, at least according to its Thai newsroom Samsung has not officially confirmed or explained the delay, and the specific date has since completely disappeared from the pages The S26 flagships would thus receive the update at the same time as last year's S25, Z Fold 7, and Z Flip 7 Sdílejte: Jakub Kárník Published: 23. 9. 2026 12:30 Advertisement Owners of the Samsung Galaxy S26 series were supposed to receive the stable One UI 9, based on Android 17, starting Monday. In Korea, the update began rolling out on September 16th, and Samsung’s Thai newsroom stated September 21st for other markets. However, that date has passed, and the update has not arrived in Thailand, nor, apparently, in the Czech Republic yet. People on forums and in social media discussions claim that the update has not yet arrived for them and is not available on the editorial Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra either. The Date That Disappeared Samsung initially quietly changed the deadline for the S26 series to September 28th, the same day that the Galaxy S25, Z Fold 7, and Z Flip 7 are also scheduled to receive One UI 9. Later, even this date disappeared from the report. Now it only states that the update will arrive during September. Samsung has not issued an official statement, so it’s unclear whether the postponement applies only to Thailand or worldwide. An Extra Week Is Better Than a Broken Phone Usually, only a few days pass between the Korean launch and the global rollout; this time, the gap is unusually long. It is therefore speculated that Samsung encountered a last-minute bug that it wants to fix before releasing the update to millions of other phones. Samsung has previously halted the distribution of a major update due to a bug, so caution makes sense. A week of waiting is inconvenient, but certainly more pleasant than faster battery drain or crashing applications. Has One UI 9 arrived for you yet, or are you still waiting?
