Galaxy Tab A9 starts getting One UI 6.0 update

February was the month that the Galaxy Tab S9’s highly-anticipated One UI 6.0 update rollout finished, with the possibility of Samsung starting to roll out One UI 6.1 to various supported devices, including the Galaxy Tab S8 and S9, Galaxy S23, and Galaxy Fold 5.

However, it looks like today has set a mark for the descendant of the Tab S9, the Tab A9, getting its major update to Android 14 because the following versions of Tab A9 (SM-X115) got One UI 6.0:

• EUX – Europe 🇪🇺: March 4th, 2024
• INS – India 🇮🇳: March 5th, 2024
• SLK – Sri Lanka 🇱🇰: March 7th, 2024

The firmware goes by the version of  X115XXU1BXB6. This firmware was built on February 2024 with the December 1st, 2023 security patch. However, this is awkward, considering that the A04 series One UI 6.0 update came with the January 2024 security patch.

From now on, if you live in the above countries and have this specific model, you’ll get this:

For other countries, you may have to wait before your country’s carrier approves the update. In order to install One UI 6.0 to your Tab A9 (SM-X115 EUX, INS, and SLK), follow these steps:

Open Settings

Tap on Software Update

Tap on Download and Install

Wait until you see “One UI 6.0” at the top of the screen

Click on Download

Wait for a few minutes, depending on your Internet connection

Click on Install

Your phone will restart automatically to a screen where it automatically installs the update. It should take no more than 15 minutes. Afterward, the Setup Wizard will appear on your screen, congratulating you for upgrading to One UI 6.0.

One UI 6.0, however, has a size of around 1.8 to 2.8 GB, depending on your device and your carrier, so you’ll have to download it under WiFi. It’s recommended to download this update on a connection that has a minimum of 8 Mbps.

You’ll need to charge your battery before installing this update because, depending on how many apps are installed, it may take a long time. Never interrupt the update process, or you may experience errors.

For users in countries other than the abovementioned ones, you may have to wait until this update is available for your country, which will be hopefully just a week or two away.

Enjoy!
