Samsung has updated its One UI 6 rollout schedule, with reports indicating that the Galaxy S22 series will be receiving the Android 14 update before the Galaxy A34 and A54 mid-rangers, as well as the Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5. Although the update is not officially confirmed, it is believed to be available in several European countries, with other regions likely to follow suit. The update is reported to be over 3GB in size and includes November security patches, as well as various enhancements and new features. For a detailed breakdown of the new features and improvements, users can refer to the One UI 6 roundup from August and the in-depth Android 14 review from last month.

The updated rollout schedule comes as a surprise, as it was initially reported that the Galaxy A34 and A54 would be updated to Android 14 before the Galaxy S22 series. However, Samsung appears to have revised its schedule, bringing the update closer to “normal.” The Galaxy S22 series, which includes the S22, S22 Plus, and S22 Ultra, is now expected to receive the Android 14 update ahead of the mid-range A34 and A54.

While it may be difficult to keep track of every market that has been greenlighted for the update, users in the UK, Netherlands, Romania, Croatia, Greece, Poland, Portugal, and Germany are advised to check their phones for the update notification. The update is expected to bring a host of new features and improvements to the Galaxy S22 series, making the devices feel “brand-new or at least better than ever before.”
