Full Story
Samsung’s Android 14 update rollout hit a snag as the company seemed to have posted a schedule without proper preparations. The original schedule listing was deleted, leaving users uncertain about when their phones would receive the update. The rollout began on October 30, first reaching the Galaxy S23 series in Europe and then moving to the US. The new update comes with Samsung’s One UI 6, bringing a refreshed Quick Panel design, new weather widgets, and other improvements to the user interface, as well as new features for the Camera app. Samsung had initially confirmed 20 devices for the Android 14 update, but a new schedule revealed that 35 devices will be eligible for the upgrade, with a timeline extending to December.
Despite the initial setbacks, Samsung is aiming for a wide distribution of the Android 14 update, targeting a total of 35 devices for the latest version of its custom Android skin, One UI 6. The schedule, originally posted on European community forums and reported by SamMobile, includes rollout dates for a variety of devices, with the last expected update set for December 8. While the timeline is specific to European customers, the quick turnaround for Galaxy S23 owners in the US suggests that they may not have to wait long for the update as well. However, the schedule remains subject to change depending on unforeseen circumstances such as the appearance of bugs.
The Android 14 update brings new features and improvements to a wide range of eligible Samsung devices, and the company is working to ensure a smooth and timely rollout for its customers. Despite a recent hiccup with the schedule, Samsung remains committed to providing the latest updates to a broad selection of devices, promising an enhanced user experience and improved performance with One UI 6.
