Samsung has recently released its Android 13-based One UI 5.0, and users are already looking forward to the next big update – One UI 6.0, based on Android 14. The beta testing for the One UI 6.0 update is expected to start in July or August, with a stable release later this year. However, not all Samsung devices will receive this update.
According to Sammy Fans, several Samsung Galaxy devices will not receive the One UI 6.0 update based on Android 14.
These include:
- Galaxy S10 Lite
- Galaxy S20 FE
- Galaxy S20 / Galaxy S20+ / Galaxy S20 Ultra
- Galaxy Note 10 Lite
- Galaxy Note 20 / Galaxy Note 20 Ultra
- Galaxy Z Flip (LTE/5G)
- Galaxy Z Fold 2
- Galaxy A22 (LTE/5G)
- Galaxy A32 (LTE/5G)
- Galaxy A51
- Galaxy A71
- Galaxy Tab A8
- Galaxy Tab A7 Lite
- Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2020)
- Galaxy Tab S7 / Galaxy Tab S7+
These devices have already received their third major update with Android 13-based One UI 5, as per the company’s software update policy.
However, the good news is that all Galaxy flagship devices launched after the S21 series, as well as select mid-range phones starting with Galaxy A53 and Galaxy A73, are eligible for up to four generations of Android upgrades and five years of patches.
Samsung had previously upgraded its firmware support policy from two years to three years and later promised to support some devices for four major Android OS upgrades. The Galaxy S23 series is expected to be the first to upgrade to Android 14 and One UI 6.0, followed by the older S-series flagships and the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 (predicted to be released in August).
While Samsung has not confirmed when the One UI 6.0 update based on Android 14 will be released, it is expected to be available for select Galaxy phones and tablets by the end of 2023, based on the pace of Android 13 updates. Samsung users who want to experience the upcoming Android 14-based One UI 6 software may want to consider upgrading to the Galaxy S23 or waiting for the release of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 devices.
