Which Samsung phones are expected to get the Android 15 update, and when?

Google has officially rolled out the stable release of Android 15. While Pixel devices will get it immediately on October 15, 2024, Samsung users will have to wait a bit longer for the One UI 7 release date, as usual. High-end Galaxy phones will be the first to get it, followed by the rest of the pack.

But this begs the question: Which Galaxy phones will even get the Android 15 update? While Samsung hasn’t shared an official list yet, we can make an educated guess based on the software support length of each phone.

When will the Android 15 update for Samsung phones arrive?

Samsung confirmed that the first stable version of One UI 7 will launch with the Galaxy S25 series. Based on this information, the Android 15 update for other Samsung phones will arrive in early 2025 at the earliest.

We expect a public beta program to roll out before the end of the year, so it’s not all doom and gloom. However, going by previous years, it’s likely that the beta will be limited to select users in the US and Korea.

Galaxy S series Android 15 update

Samsung’s Galaxy S series is its most popular, and its latest handsets will likely be the first ones to get the Android 15 update. The S24 series comes with seven years of software updates, while older models are only promised four OS updates.

Like the F series, the M series isn’t available in the US. The software promise varies from model to model, but you can expect a minimum of two OS updates.

• Galaxy M55
• Galaxy M54
• Galaxy M35
• Galaxy M34
• Galaxy M15
• Galaxy M14
• Galaxy M05

These are all the major Galaxy phones we think will be updated to Android 15 with Samsung’s One UI 7 on top. We might have missed a model or two since the company has a big lineup, with some models being exclusive to specific markets. But generally, even if you own a cheap Samsung phone that launched with Android 13, it should get updated to Android 15 since most Samsung handsets come with at least a two-year software update promise.
