Discover Which Smartphones Will Receive the Android 17 Update in the UK

The latest Android 17 update is set to be released in June 2026, bringing exciting new features to Android users in the UK. But will your phone be eligible for the update? Find out which smartphones will receive the Android 17 update and what you can do if your device is no longer supported.

Since 2025, smartphone manufacturers have been required to provide updates for their devices for at least five years. This means that many devices from 2025 and later will be eligible for the Android 17 update. However, some devices will still be dropped from the update cycle this year.

Our overview reveals which smartphones will still be updated and receive Android 17, sorted by manufacturer and including links to key reviews. Please note that some manufacturers make clear statements regarding planned update periods, while others only adhere roughly to the EU directive.

Google Pixel smartphones will be the first to receive the Android 17 update, thanks to Google’s extended update guarantee. Every phone that received Android 16 will get the new update, including the Pixel 10a, Pixel 10, and Pixel 10 Pro.

Samsung also provides updates for its current smartphones for longer than required. The top-of-the-range models now receive up to seven generations of Android upgrades, while some A-series models receive at least six generations. Samsung smartphones expected to receive Android 17 include the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S25, and Galaxy A17.

Xiaomi isn’t always clear about its update promises, but many current devices are likely to be part of the update cycle. Xiaomi smartphones expected to receive Android 17 include the 17 Pro, 15 Pro, and Redmi Note 15 Pro.

Honor provides Android updates for its devices for a long period, with the update cycle extending up to seven years for flagship models. Honor smartphones expected to receive Android 17 include the Honor Magic 8 Pro and Honor Magic 7 Pro.

OnePlus makes clear update promises for most of its devices, but older models fall outside the update cycle. OnePlus smartphones expected to receive Android 17 include the OnePlus 15 and OnePlus 13.

Oppo’s chances of most newer smartphones receiving the update are good, but older Reno or Find models will soon fall out of support. Oppo smartphones expected to receive Android 17 include the Find N6 and Find X9 Pro.

Motorola is a slightly trickier case, with the company claiming to have found a ‘loophole’ in the EU regulation. However, Motorola smartphones expected to receive Android 17 include the Signature and Edge 70.

Nothing, or CMF, takes an unconventional approach to design but adheres to a clear principle when it comes to specifying available Android updates. Nothing smartphones expected to receive Android 17 include the Phone 4a and Phone 3a.

Sony is particularly transparent about which smartphones will continue to receive Android updates. Sony smartphones expected to receive Android 17 include the Xperia 10 VII and Xperia 1 VII.

Realme does not provide very specific details about upcoming updates, but is expected to release Android 17 for the Realme 14 Pro and Realme GT 8 Pro.

Asus announced in early 2026 that it would not be producing any new smartphones, but existing models will still receive updates. Asus smartphones expected to receive Android 17 include the ROG Phone 9 Pro and Zenfone 12 Ultra.

If your smartphone no longer receives major Android updates, don’t panic. Manufacturers provide a set number of updates that include new features and improvements, as well as minor updates and important security updates. Check if your device is still receiving general support and consider buying a new smartphone if it’s no longer supported.
