Samsung reveals when more than 50 Galaxy devices will get Android 14
The latest release schedule looks promising.
What you need to know
- Samsung's planned release schedule for One UI 6 was shared through the Samsung Members app in Germany.
- Most devices are slated to get the Android 14 update in November and December of 2023, but releases stretch into February 2024.
- Samsung could send out this schedule through the Samsung Members app in other countries, but it hasn't made its way to the U.S. yet.
After starting to release the One UI 6 update to the Galaxy S23 FE and the Galaxy Tab S9 series to devices in Europe, Samsung revealed an updated release schedule for its full rollout. The new timeline gives us a rough idea of when more than 50 devices will get the latest software update, which is based on Android 14.
The latest release schedule was shared with users in Germany through the Samsung Members app and was first spotted by SamMobile. This isn't the first Android 14 timeline to appear, however. Another schedule was found on Samsung's European community forums earlier this month. However, that timeline was discredited after Samsung quickly removed it from the forums, and a few key dates from the schedule passed with no One UI 6 releases.
This new schedule is the most thorough we've seen yet, including many more devices than the initial leak. Most importantly, Samsung listed the expected release dates for the One UI 6 rollout by month. The schedule confirms that many Galaxy flagships and folding phones will get updates in November, or already have. Aside from the recent rollout of the update for the Galaxy S23 FE and Tab S9 series, the regular Galaxy S23 series has already received a stable One UI 6 upgrade.
Most devices on the list will get the Android 14 update before the end of this year, but older products could see a release date stretch into February. These release schedules are fluid, and we've seen Samsung meet and miss these targets in the past. However, the fact that Samsung's latest projections only specify release month gives the company a greater chance of staying on track.
Here's the full release schedule from Samsung shown to users in Germany:

Since this release schedule has a high chance of being accurate, look for this timeline to appear in the Samsung Members app in other regions. There is still plenty of time for Samsung to change course and release One UI 6 updates before or after the months listed above for each device. There are also devices set to receive the One UI 6 upgrade that aren't listed in the note sent to Samsung Members in Germany.
But for now, this is the closest thing we have to a timetable for Samsung's Android 14 rollout on Galaxy devices.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 takes the iconic flip phone and brings it into 2023 with a foldable OLED display, impressive dual-camera system, and a large cover screen for messages, selfies, games, and more. Plus, you can get it in some pretty sleek colors, and it'll be among the first to get Android 14.

noellenchris I hope they update the TAB S7 Plus. My S7+ is still faster than my Fold 4. I guess this is one way to force consumers to keep replacing their tech.Reply -
Medevac1 If Samsung can release A14 to their lower tier devices there's no good reason why it can be released to the Note 20 series which is more than capable of handling the update.Reply -
