Overview
- The rollout, which began Wednesday in South Korea, expands to other regions in mid‑May, with German availability reported for around May 11.
- Samsung lists wide support that includes the Galaxy S25, S24 and S23 families, recent Z Fold and Flip models, and Tab S11, S10 and S9 tablets, plus the last three generations of Galaxy A phones.
- New tools focus on everyday use, including Quick Share that can send files to Apple’s AirDrop, a Photo‑Assist editor with an edit history, Auracast Audio Broadcast for LE Audio, Storage Share across logged‑in Galaxy devices, and tighter theft and device‑lock protections.
- Galaxy AI features such as Advanced Audio Eraser, call screening and Creative Studio arrive on more models, though availability varies by device, region and carrier, with A‑series phones receiving a lighter “Awesome Intelligence” set.
- Device coverage also reflects lifecycle changes as reports say the Galaxy A13, A23 and M33 5G exit regular update support in May, while separate reporting points to Samsung already testing One UI 9 on Android 17 internally.
