[Available in Canada] Samsung Galaxy S9 Android 10 (One UI 2.0) update: Here's the global rollout status

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on February 01, 2020) follows:

Samsung last month started rolling out the stable Galaxy S9 Android 10 update in the U.S and Europe. This is unlike Samsung, which usually begins rolling out OS upgrades in Europe first before the U.S. joins in later on.

This unusual initial rollout of the OS doesn’t seem to have affected the rollout in other markets, though. Matter of fact, it appears the typical Exynos-first and Snapdragon-later approach is taking shape once again, with more regions in Europe continuing to receive the OS.

For the uninitiated, the time it takes between Samsung making a software update available and when it actually hits your device is affected by your region and whether your device is unlocked or carrier-locked.

Historically, as noted earlier, Exynos models get updates ahead of Snapdragon variants, primarily because the latter are mostly sold in North America with carrier-locked status while the former are sold globally as unlocked devices.

In short, the fact that the Galaxy S9 Android 10 firmware has to go through T-Mobile for certification (and the addition of bloatware) is the reason you haven’t received the OTA while those on unlocked variants have. The story is the same for other carrier-branded S9 and S9+ models.

Apparently, the update will begin rolling out on AT&T and Verizon this February, which is when most S9 users will receive the new OS.

To give you a better idea of who has received it, below is a list of countries across the globe where the Galaxy S9 Android 10 update has been released based on reports by Redditors who have received the OTA and the available firmware (via SamFrew):

• Australia
• Belgium
• Bosnia & Herzegovina
• Bulgaria
• Germany
• India
• Italy
• Latvia
• Netherlands
• Romania
• Serbia
• Spain
• Switzerland
• UK
• USA

As it stands, countries like Argentina and Brazil can expect the update to arrive in April 2020, which is still a long way to go.
