The Samsung Galaxy A16 is a 2024 budget phone that launched with Android 14 and One UI 6.1, but it's eligible for future updates, including Android 17 and One UI 9, with Samsung promising up to 4 years of OS updates, meaning it will get Android 17, but it might not be the first device to receive it as newer models often get updates first. You'll likely see Android 17 (with One UI 9) arrive sometime after its release in late 2025/early 2026, potentially around mid-2026, as it receives updates alongside the similar A17 model.
