Samsung launches One UI 9 for more smartphones in Brazil, based on Android 17

Samsung remains a highly sought-after brand in the smartphone market, offering a good balance between cost and benefit. For those looking for a new phone, three options from the Galaxy A line that are currently available on Amazon have been selected, featuring considerable storage, competent cameras, and large screens.

The Galaxy A17 model was launched with 256GB of internal memory and 8GB of RAM, ensuring ample space and good performance for daily use. Its 50MP main camera captures quality images under various lighting conditions, and the 6.7-inch screen provides an immersive experience for both gaming and watching videos. Furthermore, it has an IP54 certification, providing resistance against dust and splashes, which is a positive point for those who value durability.

The Samsung Galaxy A07, on the other hand, presents a more straightforward configuration: a large 6.7-inch screen, a 50MP main camera, and 128GB of storage, allowing for unrestricted storage of photos, music, and applications. With 4GB of RAM, it is suitable for everyday tasks such as social media, streaming, and communication, representing an accessible alternative within the Samsung ecosystem.

There is also another listing for the Samsung Galaxy A07 on Amazon, with exactly the same specifications: 128GB of storage, 4GB of RAM, 50MP camera, and a 6.7-inch screen. This second option serves as an alternative if the first model is sold out or if there are differences in shipping costs for the consumer's region.

It is important to note that stock on Amazon is variable, and promotional conditions may change at any time. It is recommended to access the links to check availability immediately before the offers end.

Samsung has begun rolling out One UI 9 for the Galaxy A55 model in the Brazilian market. The first national reports regarding this interface expansion, which is based on Android 17, emerged on Tuesday night, October 27th, covering the brand's mid-range devices.

In addition to the Galaxy A55, the Galaxy A37 is also receiving the update in the country. User reports indicate that this system started arriving since the previous Thursday, October 22nd, shortly after other devices such as the Galaxy A57, A56, A36, and A27 were included in the reception queue.

A user registered on Samsung Members confirmed the arrival of One UI 9 on the Galaxy A55. The device received firmware identified as A556EXXUIEZJ1, with an approximate size of 2.2 GB. This update package migrates the phone to Android 17 and incorporates a security patch dated October 5, 2026.

The distribution in Brazil for the Galaxy A55 occurred approximately one week after the release of One UI 9 for this same model in South Korea. To date, Samsung has not released a detailed changelog for this version.

The manufacturer began officially distributing One UI 9 in September, initially on the newest devices, such as the Galaxy S26 line, and has progressively extended the system to older generations and mid-range models.

One UI 9 introduces visual modifications, performance optimizations, and new Galaxy AI features. Among the highlights mentioned by Samsung are Now Nudge, which provides suggestions based on the content displayed on the screen, and a more customizable version of Now Brief.

Additionally, the Smart Photo feature has been enhanced to assist in image editing. However, Samsung clarifies that the accessibility of these functionalities depends on the specific model, language, and region of the user.

Regarding the Galaxy A37, Samsung Members users reported that the update started appearing on October 22nd. The following day, October 23rd, the system reached the Galaxy A36, A27, A56, and Z Fold 5 models.

To check for update availability, users should navigate to Settings > Software Update > Download and Install. Samsung advises that the device remains connected to a Wi-Fi network and has sufficient battery during the entire process, as the distribution is gradual and the update may not appear immediately.

Samsung increased the availability of One UI 9 on its smartphones in Brazil this week. The Galaxy A36, along with the Galaxy A27 and fifth-generation foldables, began receiving the update on Tuesday, October 20, according to change logs published by the manufacturer.

Additionally, the Galaxy A56 also started receiving the new system, apparently on Thursday, October 22, although Samsung has not officially confirmed this. One UI 9 is based on Android 17 and has been progressively distributed across the country since September.

With this new update cycle, the range of eligible Galaxy Z line models has been fully covered in Brazil. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 received One UI 9, which represents their last major system update, as predicted by Samsung itself. Other updated devices include the Galaxy S26, S26, and S24 series, part of the S23 line, sixth and seventh-generation foldables, and the Galaxy A57.

Furthermore, One UI 9 already comes pre-installed on the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, Z Flip 8, Galaxy S26 FE, and Galaxy Tab S12. In the S line, the Galaxy S23 FE is still awaiting the update, while the Galaxy A37 is pointed out as the next mid-range device in the queue for reception.

It is important to note that Samsung launched One UI 9 in July, presenting it alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Z Flip 8, and began distributing this version to older devices in September. The main focus of this update lies in expanding the functionalities of Galaxy AI.

To check if the device itself has received the update package, users can access the 'Software Update' section within the phone's settings.
