Following the release of the stable One UI 6 on the Galaxy S23 at the end of October, Samsung has now confirmed that a major update based on Android 14 is set to arrive on more Galaxy smartphones in the coming weeks. A new roadmap shared by one of Samsung’s community forum managers has the details, although the timing does point to European models for now.
In a forum post, One UI 6 is expected to roll out this week for Samsung’s mid-range Galaxy A34 (review) and Galaxy A54, followed by last year’s Galaxy S22 series. This year’s Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 (review) foldable devices will also receive the same firmware. Unfortunately, the timing of the Galaxy A14 remains unknown, but it should happen within the same week.
What happens next week? Samsung will continue rolling out its software to the 2022 budget and mid-range Galaxy smartphones, including the Galaxy A13, Galaxy A33, and Galaxy A53. Both the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 are also poised to be updated alongside the recently launched Galaxy S23 FE and the Galaxy S21 series next week.
The final week of November has the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 accompanied by a lone tablet, the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite. In total, there are 31 Samsung Galaxy phone models and a Galaxy slab mentioned in the list accompanied by their respective release dates.
