Samsung devices that won’t receive One UI 9.0 (Android 17) update

Samsung has begun testing **One UI 9.0 (Android 17)** for select Galaxy devices, including the **Galaxy A24 4G**, while confirming a list of models that **will not receive the update**. Coverage highlights that the upgrade is expanding to mid-range and flagship devices, but older or budget models—such as the **Galaxy A04, A13, and A33**—are being excluded. Samsung’s official stance, as reported by **Forbes**, frames this as part of a ‘free upgrade’ initiative for millions of eligible devices.

Tech outlets like **GSMArena.com** and **9to5Google** detail the phased rollout, emphasizing that **One UI 8.5 remains the last major update** for excluded devices. **Gizmochina** specifically lists the omitted models, noting no further software support beyond current versions. The move aligns with industry trends of prioritizing newer hardware for long-term updates, though user frustration over dropped support is a recurring theme in comments. Watch for Samsung’s official announcement of the **full exclusion list** and potential workarounds (e.g., custom ROMs).

Coverage does not yet specify whether Samsung will offer extended support for excluded models via paid services or trade-in incentives.
