- Samsung has started the stable One UI 9.0 rollout for Galaxy A16 in South Korea.
- Both Galaxy A16 LTE and 5G models are included in the South Korean rollout.
- Samsung closed the beta programme after three beta builds; other countries have no announced dates.
The Galaxy A16 One UI 9 stable update has started rolling out in South Korea, bringing Samsung’s Android 17-based software to both the 4G/LTE and 5G versions of the phone. The rollout follows a three-beta test period, after which Samsung closed the Galaxy A16 beta programme.
For now, availability is limited to South Korea. Samsung has not announced when the stable update will reach other countries, so no India rollout date can be confirmed. The firmware versions also differ between the Galaxy A16 4G/LTE and Galaxy A16 5G models.
Galaxy A16 One UI 9 update details
Samsung has begun the stable One UI 9.0 rollout after testing the software through three beta builds. The company opened the Galaxy A16 beta programme last month and closed it after the third build. The stable release is now available in South Korea for both model variants.
