Summary
South Korea became the first confirmed market for stable Android 17 and One UI 9 on Samsung’s Galaxy A55 and A35, with rollout reaching beta participants from Oct. 21.
Builds A556SKSUBEZJ1 for the Galaxy A55 Quantum5 and A356NKSUAEZJ2 for the A35 both include Samsung’s Oct. 5, 2026 security patch.
One UI 9 adds a location-access indicator, secure-lock shortcuts, resizable Quick Settings controls, and accessibility upgrades including text enlargement, keyboard shortcuts and screen-reader improvements.
No worldwide release schedule has been confirmed, and availability may vary by country, carrier and model, complicating upgrade planning for users and IT teams.
The update is the third major OS upgrade for both 2024 midrange phones under Samsung’s four-generation promise, though flagship Galaxy AI features remain unconfirmed.
