Samsung’s stable One UI 9 update, based on Android 17, is rolling out to the Galaxy Tab S11 and Tab S11 Ultra in Europe. The rollout began in South Korea on October 29, making the Tab S11 series the first Galaxy tablets to get it. There is no US date yet, so US owners of either tablet are still waiting.
Dutch site GalaxyClub.nl reported the European rollout on November 5, with a screenshot from its own device. SammyGuru also reported the update reaching Europe the same day.
Which Galaxy Tab S11 models get One UI 9
GalaxyClub says the update is live on every Tab S11 model in the Netherlands, Belgium and the rest of Europe. Rollouts like this are often staggered, so it may not reach every country on the same day.
- Galaxy Tab S11 (Wi-Fi): firmware ending XXU9CZJ6
- Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra (Wi-Fi): firmware ending XXU9CZJ6
- Galaxy Tab S11 (5G): firmware ending XXU9CZJ7
- Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra (5G): firmware ending XXU9CZJ7
The download is almost 3.5 GB. Newer Galaxy Tab S12 models already ship with One UI 9, per SammyGuru.
No new security patch in the upgrade
One detail stands out. According to GalaxyClub, the package doesn’t include a newer security patch. The Tab S11 was on the September patch before the upgrade and stays on it afterward.
So a major Android upgrade arriving in November still leaves these tablets on a September patch. Tablet owners also waited weeks longer than phone owners. One UI 9 started on phones with the Galaxy S26 in mid-September. GalaxyClub notes that big upgrades used to reach Samsung’s top tablets roughly in parallel with its phones.
What’s new in One UI 9 on the Tab S11
GalaxyClub describes the update as a modest visual change. The main additions it lists are:
- Quick Panel: more ways to customize the layout.
- Warranty and care: a new menu in Settings.
- Location sharing: a clearer indication when the tablet is sharing location data.
- Home screen search bar: an option to pin or remove the Samsung/Google search bar.
How to install One UI 9 on your Galaxy Tab S11
- Connect the tablet to Wi-Fi, since the download is close to 3.5 GB.
- Open Settings > Software update.
- Tap Download and install to check for the update.
If nothing shows up yet, the rollout may not have reached your country or carrier. US owners have no confirmed date. For other Galaxy devices, see our coverage of stable One UI 9 for the Galaxy A26, A27 and A54 in the US.
