If you do not own an S or a Z, your turn has come. Samsung has started the stable One UI 9 rollout, based on Android 17, for the Galaxy A56, A36, A37 and A27, one day after the S23, Z Fold5 and Z Flip5. As usual, South Korea goes first.

Why it matters

The A56 and A36 are among the most common phones in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, and this is their first major OS update. Check Settings → Software update with the phone on a charger and Wi-Fi. If nothing shows yet, that is normal: Gulf firmware (XSG and KSA) usually lands a few days after Korea.

My take

The update itself is not revolutionary; the speed is the story. This year Samsung is delivering the new Android to mid-rangers in roughly the same week as its older flagships, something we could only dream of two years ago. What bothers me is Galaxy AI staying exclusive to pricier phones when the A56’s chip can handle most of the basic features.
