In the world of technology, every company has its own rules about how often they will update their devices. These updates can include security improvements, changes to the interface, or even updates to the operating system itself.
However, no matter how good the technical support provided by a manufacturer is, it cannot last forever. Today, we will address a topic of great relevance to Samsung technology enthusiasts: some of the popular Galaxy devices that will not receive the new One UI 6.0 update based on Android 14.
Samsung’s Commitment to Updates
Samsung has made a clear commitment regarding updates to its devices. They commit to providing new versions of the operating system every four years and security updates every five years. This applies to certain models of Galaxy series phones, including the Galaxy S series, the foldable Galaxy Z series, and the Galaxy A series. Specifically, phones like the Galaxy S21 and newer models, the Galaxy A33, A53, A73, and the newest models of the Galaxy Z foldable series will receive these updates.
Samsung unveiled the beta versions of Android 14 and One UI 6.0 for the first time on their new Galaxy S23 phones. Unfortunately, this testing phase is only taking place in certain countries like China, India, Poland, Germany, the UK, South Korea, and the United States. This testing phase allows users to try out new features and customize their phone according to their preferences.
Koreans have now officially announced the arrival of the One UI 6.0 beta, detailing some of the new features. With this new version, users will experience greater customization, with various changes in applications and functions. Many elements have been adapted to look more modern, including the quick settings panel, which we can start to explore more thanks to the image that has been published.
Possible Delay in the Stable Version of One UI 6.0
Samsung has already released two test versions of One UI 6.0 based on Android 14. If Google takes longer than expected to complete its work, this could cause Samsung to delay the release of the final stable version of One UI 6.0 for the devices that can use it.
