Samsung Galaxy A27
Samsung has started rolling out the One UI 9.0 (Android 17) update to the Galaxy A26 and the Galaxy A27 in the US. The factory-unlocked variants of both phones seem to be the first to get it.
The update for the Galaxy A26 carries firmware version A266U1UEUADZJ5, whereas that for the Galaxy A27 carries firmware version A276U1UEU3BZIF. The carrier-locked variants of the two phones should also get it soon.
If you live in the US and own a Galaxy A26 or the Galaxy A27, you can get One UI 9.0 on it by going to Settings > Software update > Check for updates.
One UI 9.0 brings a number of changes and upgrades. It offers more customization options for Quick Panel, a location privacy indicator, a Warranty and care section in Settings, and enhancements to Samsung DeX, Samsung Notes, and accessibility features.

I’m a computer science engineer living in Hyderabad, India, who has a keen interest in automobiles and consumer electronics. My journalism career kicked off in 2017 with MySmartPrice where I wrote news, features, buying guides, and explanatory articles about technology among other things, and reviewed many products, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, PC components, smartwatches, audio devices, wearables, and smart home products. Since then, I have worked for 91Mobiles, Apple, and Onsitego, before finally landing on SamMobile.
