Samsung Galaxy A24 4G Gears Up for One UI 9: Android 17 Development Kicks Off

Just days after delivering the stable Android 16-based One UI 8.5 update to the Galaxy A24 4G, Samsung is already making significant strides towards its next-generation software. Enthusiasts and users of the popular mid-range device will be pleased to learn that development has officially begun for One UI 9, which will be built upon the forthcoming Android 17.

This swift transition underscores Samsung's dedication to bringing its latest software innovations to a wide array of its Galaxy portfolio. Evidence of the new software surfaced on Samsung's internal servers, where a specific One UI 9 build for the Galaxy A24 4G was identified. The firmware version associated with this early development stage is A245FXXUCGZF4. While this is an exciting discovery, specific details regarding the public release timeline for the One UI 9 beta or stable update for the Galaxy A24 4G are not yet available.

At present, the exclusive recipients of the One UI 9 beta program are the flagship Galaxy S26 series smartphones. However, it's widely understood that Samsung diligently works on future software iterations for multiple Galaxy devices concurrently, ensuring a broader rollout in due course.

Beyond the beta program, anticipation is building for the very first devices to launch with One UI 9 out of the box. These are expected to be Samsung's groundbreaking new foldable smartphones: the Galaxy Z Flip8, Galaxy Z Fold8, and the powerful Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. These highly anticipated devices are rumored to be unveiled at a dedicated event in London on July 22, showcasing the cutting-edge capabilities of One UI 9 from day one.
