Rumors suggest we’re less than a month away from the stable release of Android 15. While Pixel devices will get it on day one, Samsung users will have to wait a bit longer, 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.

Galaxy S series Android 15 update

  • Galaxy Z Fold 5
  • Galaxy Z Flip 5
  • Galaxy Z Fold 4

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.
