Samsung‘s stable Android 14 update for Galaxy devices might be just days away now. The company is ending the Android 14-based One UI 6.0 beta program for the Galaxy S23 series this week. Other models should follow suit soon after it.
Samsung is ending One UI 6.0 beta for the Galaxy S23 series
One UI 6.0 is Samsung’s Android 14-based custom software for Galaxy devices. The company has been running public beta programs to test the big update since early August. Over the past two and a half months, the Korean biggie has released several beta builds. The Galaxy S23 series has received eight of them, while the likes of Galaxy S22, Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and other devices have also picked up multiple beta updates.
While Samsung never said a word about its stable rollout plan, everyone expected it to start pushing the update in late October. The Galaxy S23 series was reasonably rumored to get it first. A user recently took to the official Samsung community forum to ask whether the rumor is accurate. A forum moderator responsible for S-series products responded by saying that the One UI 6.0 for the latest flagships is ending this week.
According to the moderator, Samsung’s software team is currently conducting “a final inspection” of all bugs and issues spotted in the beta build. If it finds major issues, the company will release a new beta update before the stable rollout. However, the latest One UI 6.0 build for the Galaxy S23 series is quite stable with no big issues. This should mean the next release will be the stable Android 14 update, and it could come before the end of the month.
Android 14 will soon make it into Samsung Galaxy devices
The Galaxy S23 series will lead the line, but other models shouldn’t be too far behind. If history is any indication, Samsung may update all flagship models launched over the past few years to Android 14 and One UI 6.0 before the end of the year. The company has significantly improved its software update pace in recent years, so budget and mid-range models should get it relatively quickly too.
Samsung should publish its One UI 6.0 update roadmap for each market once the rollout begins. Since it doesn’t release every model in every market, the roadmap varies. You can find the one for your country in the Samsung Members app. The company also shares information about beta programs in this app. We will keep a close eye on the official Samsung channels and let you know as soon as we have more information.
