What this means for you

Android 17 has been available since June 2026, but only a small group of phones actually have it installed today. Google’s Pixel line leads the way, followed by three new Samsung foldables and one Motorola phone. Other brands, including the popular Galaxy S26 series, OnePlus, Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo, and Honor devices, are still waiting for a beta or a confirmed release date.

This list covers exactly what has shipped as of August 17, 2026, not what brands have promised. Find out whether your phone already has Android 17, and when it is coming if it doesn’t.

Why some phones have it before others

Google rolls out Android 17 in phases, so not every eligible phone gets the update on the same day. Where you live and which carrier you use both affect when the update reaches your phone. Samsung and Motorola follow the same pattern, and both companies have said their own rollouts depend on region and carrier.

There is also a second layer to this update. Having Android 17 on your phone does not guarantee you get Gemini Intelligence, the AI features Google built into the release. Those features need at least 12GB of RAM, a recent flagship chip, and a newer AI engine called Gemini Nano v3.

Many phones with plenty of RAM still miss this bar because they run an older version of Nano. The Pixel 9 Pro has 16GB of RAM, more than enough on paper, but it runs Gemini Nano v2 instead of v3. That single detail keeps it out of the Gemini Intelligence group even though it easily qualifies for Android 17 itself. The Galaxy Z Fold 7, the OnePlus 13, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra face the same limit.

Devices confirmed to meet the Gemini Intelligence bar include the Pixel 10 series, the Galaxy S26 series, the OnePlus 15 series, and the OPPO Find X9 and X8 series. Google says Gemini Intelligence will reach more phones later this summer, but for now it stays limited to newer, higher-spec hardware.

Google Pixel phones running Android 17

Every Pixel from the Pixel 6 onward already has Android 17. Google rolled the update out to these phones on June 16, 2026, alongside the June Pixel Drop, and it has been available ever since.

Pixel 6, 6 Pro, and 6a
Pixel 7, 7 Pro, and 7a
Pixel 8, 8 Pro, and 8a
Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, 9 Pro Fold, and 9a
Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, 10 Pro Fold, and 10a
Pixel Fold and Pixel Tablet

Google announced the Pixel 11 series, including the Pixel 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro XL, and 11 Pro Fold, at its Made by Google event on August 12, 2026. These phones ship with Android 17 already installed. The Pixel 11 Pro Fold arrives later, in October, while the rest of the lineup should reach stores around August 20, based on how Google timed the Pixel 10 launch last year.

The Pixel 6 and 6 Pro are nearing the end of their update life. Google skipped them in the August 2026 security patch, and they will not receive Android 17 QPR2. Support for both phones ends in October 2026. The Pixel 6a has a longer runway and keeps getting updates until July 2027.

If your phone is a Pixel 5 or older, it won’t receive Android 17. Google’s support window for that generation has already closed.

Samsung Galaxy phones running Android 17

Samsung’s rollout is much narrower right now. Only three phones ship with Android 17 today: the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Z Flip 8. Samsung unveiled these at Galaxy Unpacked in London on July 22, 2026, and they reached stores on August 7 across 106 markets.

The Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra are still on the One UI 9 beta. Samsung opened the beta in May 2026 across six countries, and a fifth beta build was rolling out in August. The stable version has not landed yet, and Samsung has not given a firm date. Some reports point to late August, while others expect it to stretch into late September or October. Treat this window as an estimate until Samsung officially confirms it.

Samsung has not published a full list of which older phones will get Android 17. Based on internal testing spotted by Samsung-focused outlets, the Galaxy S25 series, S24 series, S23 series, and older foldables like the Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 are expected to get the update later. Samsung is also testing builds on around 50 devices internally.

A few older Samsung phones will not get this update, including the Galaxy S22 series, the Galaxy S21 FE, and the Z Fold 4. If you own one of these, One UI 8.5 is the last major update your phone will receive.

Motorola phones running Android 17

Motorola is ahead of most other brands except Google and Samsung. The stable rollout has already started with the Motorola Edge 2025, and Motorola’s parent company Lenovo confirmed more than 50 eligible devices in a blog post published around August 10, 2026.

After the Edge 2025, Motorola plans to prioritise its newer flagship phones, the Razr 70 series and Edge 70 lineup, before working through the rest of the Moto G series over the coming weeks and months. Two popular models, the Edge 50 Neo and Edge 60 Neo, are missing from Motorola’s list even though they came with a 5-year update promise, and the Moto G56 is also absent.

Motorola’s version of Android 17 brings a few new touches, including Live Updates styled like a floating island, a Moto AI assistant called Qira, lock-screen customisation, and a redesigned volume panel.

OnePlus, Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo, and Honor status

The rest of the big Android brands are still testing, not shipping. None of them has released a stable version of Android 17 to the public yet.

OnePlus is running an Android 17 beta on the OnePlus 15. The stable version, called OxygenOS 17, is expected around November 2026, based on how OnePlus timed last year’s release.

Xiaomi started testing HyperOS 4, its version of Android 17, in China on August 14, 2026. The first wave covers the Xiaomi 17 series, some Redmi K90 models, and the Xiaomi Pad 8. Two more waves follow through mid-September, and a global stable release is expected around October 2026.

OPPO opened a closed beta for ColorOS 17 in early August, starting with the Find X9 Pro series. A stable release is expected alongside the Find X10 series later this year. OPPO is also folding OxygenOS and Realme UI into ColorOS going forward, so OnePlus and Realme phones will eventually run OPPO’s software.

Vivo and iQOO have had a developer preview since April, limited to the Vivo X300 Pro and iQOO 15. A stable version is expected around September 2026.

Honor unveiled MagicOS 11, its take on Android 17, in early August. A closed beta covering around 17 devices started rolling out mid-August, and Honor expects a stable release later this year.

What this means for you

If your phone already has Android 17, check for updates in your settings to make sure you are on the latest build. If you are on a Galaxy S26 and enrolled in the beta, expect the stable version to land within the next few weeks.

If your brand has not released Android 17 yet, security patches will keep coming in the meantime, so your phone stays protected while you wait. TechCabal will update this tracker once your brand confirms a release date.

If your phone runs an older version of Gemini Nano or has less than 12GB of RAM, you will get the core Android 17 features without the newer AI tools. This is simply how Google chose to gate the newest features this year.
