Samsung has started rolling out the Android 14-based One UI 6 update, beginning with the Galaxy S23 series in Europe and then to Galaxy S23 owners in the US. The new update brings new features like a revamped Quick Panel design for Quick Settings, new weather widgets, a new default system font, a simpler Camera app layout, and more photo and video editing options. According to a schedule shared on the European community forums, a total of 35 devices will be eligible for the upgrade, including the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S21, Galaxy Z Flip, and Galaxy A series.
The schedule lists the specific dates for when each device will receive the update, with some devices like the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus, and Galaxy S23 Ultra already receiving the update on October 30th. Other devices like the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus, and Galaxy S22 Ultra are set to receive the update on November 15th, while the Galaxy S21 series and other models will be updated throughout November and into December.
Although the schedule is meant for European customers, it is likely that US-based Galaxy S23 owners will not have to wait long for the update based on the previous timeline. However, it is important to note that the timeline may be subject to change depending on circumstances such as the appearance of bugs. It is good news for Samsung device owners as they can expect to receive the latest Android 14 update with the One UI 6 custom skin in the coming weeks.
