Update: Samsung Galaxy S20 and Note 20, Android 14 Update Hope Turns to Disappointment
After beta testing for months, Samsung finally started rolling out the Android 14-based One UI 6 stable update starting today. Unsurprisingly, the Galaxy S23 series is the first set of devices to receive the latest version of the company’s mobile software.
Following the rollout of the update, Samsung published an article on its website offering tips to make the most of the new camera features included in One UI 6. At the end of this post, the company confirms the handsets that will be receiving the latest Android 14.
To everyone’s surprise, certain devices that are not supposed to get the new Android update will be receiving it. Let’s go through the details.
Samsung hints that One UI 6 based on Android 14 will be available for its premium smartphones released in 2020 and 2019. These include Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20 Plus, Galaxy S20 Ultra, Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold 2, Galaxy Z Flip 5G, and Galaxy Z Flip.
For the unaware, these phones are only eligible for three generations of Android updates, and they have already received them. So One UI 6 will be their fourth Android update.
Apart from these older flagships, Samsung also lists newer models that will be receiving the update. We believe these handsets will be among the first to get One UI 6 stable update.
