One UI Watch 6 which is already available on the Galaxy Watch 6, is now rolling out to the previously released Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 4. This means owners of these older models can enjoy Samsung‘s latest software.

Currently, this update is in beta and hasn’t been released for all specific Watch 5 and Watch 4 models. The One UI Watch 6 beta update is only available for Bluetooth variant of the watches. If you have an LTE variant, you’ll need to wait a bit longer.

Everybody expects Samsung to unveil the Watch 7 series very soon. In the meantime, it’s great to see the company supporting its older models with new updates. Previously, the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic LTE reached its lowest price ever.

You can get the new update via the Samsung Members app. Open the Samsung Members app on the phone connected to your watch, and look for the beta release for the Watch 5 or Watch 4. If you don’t see the update on your phone, be patient, as Samsung is rolling it out gradually. It may take some time all devices around the world to receive the update.

Samsung continues its rollout of the One UI 6.0 update, based on Android 14, with the popular Galaxy A72 now joining the list of supported devices. 

While many Samsung users are now expecting the newer One UI 6.1, there are still some devices awaiting the One UI 6 update, including the Galaxy A72, which has just begun receiving the Android 14 update.

The update has officially gone live in select Middle Eastern and European countries, with India also on the list. 

If you own a Galaxy A72 in these regions, be on the lookout for the update with the firmware version A725FXXU6EXB3, which also includes the January 2024 security patch.

The simplest way to install One UI 6.0 is through an over-the-air (OTA) update. You can check for the update in your phone’s Settings app under Software Update and select Download and Install.

Alternatively, if you prefer a manual update using a Windows PC, you can download the necessary firmware from Samsung’s official archive.

Android 14 marks the final major OS update for the Galaxy A72. However, Samsung may release One UI 6.1 before the device reaches the end of its support period.

What to Expect with One UI 6.0

One UI 6 introduces several noticeable changes. The Quick Panel has been redesigned for easier access to frequently used settings, while a new font refreshes the overall visual experience. Music lovers can enjoy a new media player widget for a lock screen and notification control.

Customization takes center stage with more font and placement options for the lock screen clock widget. And there are two new widgets — “Custom Camera” for quick access to camera settings and “Weather Insights” for detailed weather information.

The Settings app has also gone a makeover, featuring a dedicated Battery section for easier navigation. The camera is now simplified for easier use and the Photo Editor app now has larger controls for easy accessibility.

The weather app now presents even more detailed information about your favorite locations, all wrapped up in a cohesive new design. Finally, Samsung has decluttered the app drawer and home screen by removing its branding from stock app icons.

The post Samsung Galaxy A52 gets Android 14 update in several countries around the world appeared first on Gizmochina.

The budget-friendly Galaxy A13 4G is finally joining the Android 14 party, three weeks after its 5G sibling. The rollout appears to have begun in Korea, with wider availability expected in the coming weeks.

While Samsung‘s current flagship line like the Galaxy S24 enjoys up to seven years of updates, the A13 is only eligible for two major OS upgrades, making Android 14 it’s last. However, it may still receive the One UI 6.1 update before feature updates cease.

Korean users can find the update as firmware version A135NKSU5DWL5 through their phone’s Settings > Software update menu. Users in other regions should keep an eye out for the update notification soon. 

The update brings several improvements. The Quick Panel is now easier to use, giving quick access to your most-used settings. The emoji library has been updated, making your messages more fun and expressive. 

Plus, there’s a new, clearer default font. The media player widget has a cool new look with dynamic waveforms, and you can now customize the lock screen clock widget’s size, style, and placement.

Samsung’s apps like Gallery, Internet, Messages, Phone, and Reminders have a new, cleaner look. Some apps have even dropped the “Samsung” name for a simpler style. The photo editor is more user-friendly, making it easier to edit your pictures. There’s also a new video editor called “Studio” for all your video editing needs.

As a reminder, the Galaxy A13 4G features a 6.6-inch Full HD+ display, an 8MP front camera, a quad-camera rear setup with a 50MP main sensor, an Exynos 850 processor, 4GB or 6GB of RAM, 64GB or 128GB of storage, and a 5,000mAh battery with 25W fast charging support (though the included charger is only 15W).

The Exynos Galaxy S23 FE, which is available in most regions, is the first to receive the update. However, the Snapdragon variant will probably follow soon and shouldn’t be left behind.

One UI 6 features a ton of new features, including substantial visual alterations to the Quick Settings panel, the Lock Screen, and the Notification panel. It also adds a new video editing software called Studio, a unique Auto Blocker mode to increase device security, and a number of other little enhancements.

The post Galaxy S22 series users gets stable One UI 6 update based on Android 14 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung users were recently treated to what seemed like an early holiday gift – a roadmap detailing the release dates for Android 14 and One UI 6 updates. Shared on Samsung’s community forums by a forum manager, the detailed roadmap included exact release dates for the stable One UI 6 update on various eligible Galaxy devices, sparking excitement among users with eligible devices. However, the roadmap eventually proved to be inaccurate, as the anticipated update rollout for the mentioned devices did not happen.

The actual roadmap is yet to be released

The excitement was short-lived as it turns out the roadmap was nothing more than a misleading mirage. The post containing the release dates has been swiftly removed from Samsung’s forum, and it’s clear that the dates provided were inaccurate and not aligned with Samsung’s official update plans.

For instance, according to the now-debunked roadmap, the Galaxy S22 lineup was expected to receive the stable One UI 6 update on November 15, with the Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy A34, and Galaxy A54 slated for an update on November 13. These dates were evidently far from reality.

The truth of the matter is that the official One UI 6 roadmap remains a mystery. Samsung is known for publishing comprehensive roadmaps through the Samsung Members app, ensuring users are informed about the estimated release time frames for major Android and One UI updates.

Currently, the stable Android 14 One UI 6 update is exclusive to the Galaxy S23 series. The tech giant is actively engaged in beta testing One UI 6 across various smartphones.

Samsung users eagerly anticipating the update should exercise patience and manage their expectations. Samsung is likely to provide an accurate roadmap once more devices are set to receive the non-beta One UI 6 update.

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.

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.

Samsung announced its One UI 6.0 custom Android skin earlier this month. It is based on Android 14 OS. The latest software version packs a host of new features and changes. The South Korean brand’s proprietary UI is still in beta phase and is already live on various Galaxy phones. Now, this is expected to change soon as per a new development that hints at the rollout of the stable release. 

Samsung One UI 6 stable version may release soon

A moderator on the Samsung Member Community revealed that this is the last week for the One UI 6 beta program. There will be no more beta releases ahead. The South Korean brand is said to be conducting a final inspection of the beta versions of the software and the issues that have cropped up. Hence the rollout of stable release should finally happen if there are no more issues to be addressed via a new beta firmware. 

The moderator added that the stable One UI 6 rollout could happen by next week with the October 2023 Android security patch. However, there is no proper schedule for the rollout of the One UI 6 stable version,  hence users should keep a tab on the Android 14 update notification on their devices in the coming days. The South Korean brand will also inform users of the upcoming software update via its usual channels and the Samsung Members app. It’s likely that the Galaxy S23 lineup will be the first to receive the One UI 6 stable update. 

The One UI 6 comes with new features and changes including the redesigned quick panel, new emoji design, picture and video previews in share panel, multitasking improvements, camera improvements, widgets, and more.

The post Samsung rolls out One UI 6 Android 14 Beta in India for Galaxy S23 series: what to expect appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung kicked off the Android 14 OS-based One UI 6 beta earlier this month for the Galaxy S23 series in select regions. The One UI 6 Beta 2 was set to roll out on August 29, but it has now been delayed by another week.

Samsung Galaxy S23 lineup to receive One UI 6 Beta 2 in September

According to an official announcement, the South Korean tech giant is planning to include China, India, Poland, and the United Kingdom. These regions will receive the update on 4th September 2023. On the other hand, the second beta for the next-gen Android operating system might be released in Germany, South Korea, and the US later today (31st August 2023).

The company shared the announcement on its official Chinese Community Forum, which announced the second delay to September. It likely postponed the beta release over bug issues. The first iteration of the early One UI 6 build did feature minor issues like animation stutters or apps and widgets disappearing from the home screen. So it isn’t surprising that Samsung is taking its time to polish its Android 14 custom skin for better stability in the second beta.

For those unaware, beta programs are early versions of the stable release, which most users get eventually. One UI 6 will bring a more user-friendly experience along with other quality of life changes and design improvements. So stick around for more updates regarding this matter.

Samsung recently launched its next-generation foldable smartphones in the form of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy Z Flip 5, running Android 13 with its own One UI 5.1.1. The South Korean giant is already working on a newer One UI 6 user interface based on the Android 14 operating system.

Now, the company has announced that it will expand the Samsung One UI 6 Beta program to four more countries — China, India, the UK, and Poland. For those who are unaware, the program is already available in the US, South Korea, and Germany.

While the company has announced that the One UI 6 program will be expanded to four countries, it has not yet been revealed when access will be available to users, but rumors indicate that it could be released later this week.

In countries where the beta program is available, eligible users can try out the latest version of Samsung’s custom Android-based operating system ahead of the official release. As of now, the program is open to Galaxy S23 users, and enrollment is done through the Samsung Members app. We expect the beta program to be expanded to more phones, including the Galaxy S22 lineup, the Galaxy Z Flip 5, and the Galaxy Z Fold 5, in the coming weeks.

Samsung One UI 6 is based on the Android 14 operating system and comes with a number of features and improvements. It offers a new design language and a more intuitive interface, along with some additional privacy features.

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.

The post Samsung Galaxy S23 to get Android 14-based One UI 6 beta in July appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung is known for its impressive Android devices and software, and the company has been making headlines lately for its work on Android 14. While the latest version of Android hasn’t even been officially released yet, Samsung is already testing early internal builds of the update on its Galaxy S23 devices, as well as the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Flip 4. This is quite early, about two months ahead of schedule, and suggests that Samsung is moving quickly to prepare for the new update. The update, which is expected to be called “One UI 6.0” for Samsung devices, is confirmed to address longstanding issues with background apps on Galaxy devices, but it’s unclear what else Samsung has in store.

@tarunvats33 noticed the first One UI 6.0 Test Build on Samsung Servers

The evidence of Samsung’s testing was first spotted by multiple Twitter users, including @tarunvats33, who noticed the first One UI 6 test build on Samsung’s servers. The firmware is meant for internal testing on the Galaxy S23 Ultra and carries the identification S918BXXU1BWE2. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 test firmware has the F936BXXU2DWE1 identification, while the Galaxy Z Flip 4 test update carries firmware version F721BXXU2DWD7. The fact that these firmware versions are believed to be associated with One UI 6.0 lies in the fourth to last digit, which represents a new big One UI update.

The Galaxy S23 series and the 2022 foldable flagship phones are expected to be the first to enter the Android 14 beta testing program later this year and could also be the first to receive the stable One UI 6.0 update. While it’s not entirely clear what One UI 6.0 will bring to Samsung devices, it’s expected to borrow some features from the Android 14 update that Google unveiled at its I/O conference. Samsung’s work on the update is an exciting development for Android fans who are eager to see what the new version of the operating system will bring. Samsung’s early testing suggests that the company is working hard to ensure that its devices are ready for Android 14 as soon as it’s released. The company is already working on its upcoming smartphones, such as the Galaxy Z Fold 5, which appeared in recent leaks.
