Rough idea · Somewhere in this season

6 March 2027

in about 5 months

Almost certainly between 15 January and 7 April 2027 — that is where eight out of ten of our guesses land.

Where it will almost certainly land Still possible, but unlikelyThe higher the shape, the more likely that date.

Where we started Its own release rhythm This line has launched on a steady schedule, so we started from when the next one is due.

Reports behind it 1 separate story Found across 1 article. When several sites repeat the same leak, we count it once — otherwise one rumour would look like proof.

Since last time No change Last changed on 5 Oct 2026. We recheck every day, and only write a new forecast down when this answer moves.

Sammy Fans
Reported

Says revealed sometime between January and December 2026

“Samsung could release a One UI 9 Beta update for the Galaxy A55 smartphone.” Read it ↗

Decent track record Moved our date 113 days earlier

Sammy Fans usually calls things later than they happen, so we pulled this 25 days earlier before believing it.

Numbers, for the curious

The 80% range runs 15 Jan 2027 to 7 Apr 2027 (82 days wide), with a standard deviation of 46 days. Starting model: series_cadence+coupled (reveal and on-sale dates were solved together, so neither can end up before the other).

Where you will be able to buy it

Likely one region first Based on how this product line usually launches

This line usually starts in one market and travels later, if it travels at all.

Galaxy A normally launches in India first.

No report so far has named a specific country for this one. That is normal early on: the market is usually only spelled out close to launch.

Every time we changed our mind, we wrote it down and never touched it again.
