The stable One UI 9 rollout for the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra has reached India and Europe as of September 29, more than two weeks after the update first launched in South Korea. Samsung Community threads from users in Europe confirm it’s showing up now, matching reports of the same rollout in India.
| Region | Status |
| South Korea | Live since September 16 |
| United States | Live since September 23 |
| India | Now reaching users |
| Europe | Now reaching users |
| Other markets | Still pending |
The build carries firmware S94xBXXU4BZI6 along with the September 2026 security patch. Beta testers upgrading get a smaller package around 600MB, while anyone coming from One UI 8.5 directly is looking at a much bigger download, roughly 4GB or more depending on device and region.
This wider rollout had been repeatedly pushed back Samsung’s Thailand newsroom cycled through September 21, then September 28, before dropping a specific date altogether in favor of just “September.” Today’s expansion to India and Europe is effectively that delayed global rollout finally catching up, though it’s still not available to every S26 owner everywhere unlocked units in some markets are reportedly still waiting, and Samsung continues rolling this out in stages by country, carrier, and model, not unlike how the S25 series before it had its own staggered rollout. Anyone in a covered region can check under Settings, then Software update, then Download and install.
