Will the Galaxy S23 Series get One UI 9.5?
The Galaxy S23 series launched in February 2023 with Android 13 and One UI 5.1. Samsung promised four major Android upgrades and five years of security updates for the lineup.
One UI 9.0 is the fourth major Android upgrade for these phones, so a further version such as One UI 9.5 looks unlikely in the near term. Samsung has not confirmed a final software roadmap for the S23 series.
