Samsung users are eagerly anticipating the arrival of Android 14, and it seems that the Korean tech giant is preparing to deliver. While Google has been beta-testing Android 14 for a few months now, Samsung has yet to officially announce its beta program. However, according to reports, the company is planning 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. Here are the details.
Galaxy S23 to Lead the Way
According to Sammobile, the Galaxy S23 series will be the first to receive the Android 14 beta update in July. Samsung has reportedly been waiting for Google to reach platform stability with the Android 14 beta before initiating its own development. This suggests that the beta update will gradually roll out to other Samsung devices as well.
A Faster Rollout with One UI 6
Samsung aims to make the One UI 6 rollout even faster than its predecessor, One UI 5. Last year’s One UI 5 rollout was the quickest to date, and the company is determined to improve upon that. In fact, the early release of the One UI 6 beta, compared to the first One UI 5 beta, indicates that the stable release may also arrive earlier than expected.
Preparation for the Beta Program
Samsung has already started updating its apps to support One UI 6.0, hinting at an imminent official announcement for the beta program. In addition to Samsung, other manufacturers have also confirmed their plans to update their devices to Android 14. Oppo, for instance, has announced that 11 of its smartphones, including the Find X5 Pro and Reno 8 Pro, will receive the Android 14 update. Furthermore, Nothing, led by Carl Pei, has made a beta build of Android 14 available for its Phone 1 through its Developer Preview Program.
Exciting Times Ahead for Samsung Users
With the upcoming release of the Android 14-based One UI 6 beta, Samsung Galaxy S23 users can look forward to experiencing the latest features and improvements. Samsung’s commitment to faster rollouts and updates demonstrates its dedication to providing an enhanced user experience. Stay tuned for more updates on the official release of Android 14 and One UI 6 for Samsung devices.
