Samsung began rolling out the Android 17-based One UI 9 update to some of its flagships several weeks ago. Since then, we’ve seen the manufacturer gradually bring some older devices into the fold, including devices from its popular budget and midrange smartphone lineup. Now, two Samsung A-series devices in the US are joining the party.
US customers of the Galaxy A16 and the mid-tier Galaxy A35 can now download and install the much-anticipated One UI 9 update, according to SamMobile. The Galaxy A35 update arrives with the firmware version A356USQUCEZJ2, while the Galaxy A16 receives A166USQUAEZJ5.
