Samsung’s One UI 6.0 with Android 14: Expected Release Date and Devices to Receive the Update
Later this year, it is highly anticipated that Samsung will officially introduce the One UI 6.0 customization layer, built upon Android 14, to the majority of its devices. The company is committed to ensuring that all compatible devices receive this update as soon as possible. While some lucky users can expect to receive the beta version in August, similar to the rollout of One UI 5.0 last year, the full release is expected to follow.
With the update, users can look forward to experiencing all the changes and improvements brought by Google, including an updated shared menu, enhanced gesture navigation, language preference customization within apps, and an array of new features on the lock and home screens, among other enhancements. Many exciting features are expected to arrive with Android 14. Both sooner than anticipated for select Samsung devices and progressively over time for other models.
The burning question on everyone’s mind is which Samsung Galaxy models will be the first to receive the Android 14 update. The initial recipients are likely to be the Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus, and Galaxy S23 Ultra. Subsequently, the newer foldable devices, namely the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4, are expected to follow suit.
