Google launched Android 17 on June 16 for your mobile phones Pixel compatible. After Google, other manufacturers adapt their customization layers to the new version of the operating system, something in which Samsung It usually moves quite quickly. The company has already started the beta of One UI 9currently on the Galaxy S26 series, and is also testing the update on more models internally, but 25 Galaxy devices in its catalog, including mobile phones and tablets, would be left without it and, therefore, without the latest Android, according to Phone Arena.
The reason is in the update policy. Many of these models would have already exhausted the major versions of Android promised by Samsung, so their last major update would be One UI 8 with Android 16. That does not necessarily mean that they are immediately unprotected, since some will continue to receive security patches during the remaining support period.
Without One UI 9, these devices will lose Android 17 news such as bubbles to manage multitasking or reactions on screenbut also functions incorporated by Samsung in its cape, such as the quick panel more customizable, improvements in own applications and new protections against suspicious applications.

As we have already mentioned, just because these devices do not receive One UI 9 does not mean that all of them are automatically unprotected against new vulnerabilities.
