Google has been beta-testing Android 14 for a couple of months now and should release a stable build in August. The Pixels are usually the first to get the stable update, followed by Samsung Galaxy devices. However, the Korean company is yet to officially announce a beta program for its phones. Unofficially, it is reported to release the first beta build of One UI 6, based on Android 14, for the Galaxy S23 series in the third week of July.
One UI 6 may rollout faster than One UI 5
Sammobile reports that the Galaxy S23 series will be first to get Android 14 beta update in the third week of July. The outlet says Samsung was waiting for Google to reach platform stability with the Android 14 beta before starting its own development. The beta update will gradually be rolled out for other devices too.
Last year’s One UI 5 rollout was the fastest so far and Samsung said it wants the next update to be even faster. The company wasn’t joking because we are apparently receiving the One UI 6 beta a few weeks earlier than the first One UI 5 beta, which also suggests that the stable releases will be earlier compared to last year.
Samsung has already begun updating its apps with One UI 6.0 support a few weeks ago, indicating that an official announcement for the beta program may be imminent. In addition to the Korean company, Oppo has also went ahead and confirmed Android 14 update for 11 of its smartphones, including Find X5 Pro and Reno 8 Pro.
Carl Pei-led Nothing also wants Phone 1 users to try their hands at the latest version of Android. The startup has already made a beta build of Android 14 available for its first handset as part of its Developer Preview Program.
