The South Korean firm has started rolling out the stable software update based on One UI 9.0 (Android 17) for the Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra models. The update is first being offered to devices that participated in the beta test program in South Korea.
While the size of the update is reported as 483.81 MB, it also comes with build number S91xNKSU1GZIF. On the other hand, Samsung plans to offer the same update to other regions in the coming days. For Turkey, the update will probably be offered via OTA within a few weeks.
What's in the update?
Although not revolutionary compared to One UI 8.5, One UI 9.0 offers users a few new features. The quick settings panel (Quick Panel) gets more customization options. Improvements have been made to Samsung DeX and Samsung Notes applications.
In addition, accessibility features have been expanded. A new indicator that will show positioning privacy also comes with the update. Furthermore, One UI 9.0 brings Galaxy AI features to a wider user base.
How can you get the update?
Galaxy S23 series users can check the update status by going to their device's settings. It is sufficient to follow the path Settings > Software update > Check for updates.
The distribution of updates in regions outside South Korea is expected to start within a few days. The time it takes to become fully available in all regions may vary.
Which devices will receive the update?
The update is being released for Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra. According to the source, Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 have also started to receive the One UI 9.0 update. The Galaxy A27 series has also started a separate update rollout. The list continues to increase with new models day by day.
If the update does not appear on your systems and you own a Galaxy S23, it is highly likely that you will receive a notification soon. It is recommended to keep your device updated to benefit from the new features. It would also be to your advantage not to install the new software immediately when it is released. Because by waiting a few days, it will also be possible to learn about the experiences of other users.
