Samsung has officially launched its Android 14 update, One UI 6, with new features, updated design and more. Here’s everything that’s new, a list of Samsung Galaxy devices with Android 14, and everything you need to know.
What’s new in Android 14 on Samsung Galaxy?
Android 14 is, in itself, not that major an update, but it brings key changes to the world’s most popular smartphone operating system. These changes, which we previously detailed, include additions like UltraHDR support, share menu improvements, lock screen tweaks, official support for flash notifications, and more.
However, many features new to Pixel phones are already in place on Samsung smartphones, such as new lock screens. So what’s new on Galaxy?
One UI 6 is Samsung’s latest Android skin, and built on Android 14, it brings notable changes such as the new “Quick Panel” design for quick settings, an option to change the wallpaper depending on the time of day or certain modes, expansions to lock screen customization options, a new camera widget, new weather widgets, as well as new emoji and a new default system font.

Will my Galaxy device get Android 14?
Of course, not all Samsung smartphones or tablets will receive Android 14. The update is provided in accordance with Samsung’s current update policy. This means that any flagship released since 2021 is eligible, as they all have at least four major Android OS updates. However, the Galaxy S20, Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy Z Fold 2, and Galaxy Z Flip/5G series released in 2020 will not be updated as Samsung confirmed following an error by the company.
Generally speaking, any Samsung smartphone or tablet released in the last two years will be updated to Android 14. For slightly older devices, the update will still be available, but only for more expensive hardware such as the Galaxy S, Galaxy Z and Galaxy Tab S ranges.
Samsung Android 14 update schedule
The status of Samsung’s official schedule for Android 14 and One UI 6 updates has been a bit hit and miss, with one schedule being removed early on. But, in November, the company released a fairly official schedule on its Samsung Members app in select countries, which gives us a good idea of what to expect.
The list below is based on Samsung’s official Android 14 timeline, and we’re constantly updating it as new devices are updated.
If last year’s Android 13 update is to be believed, Samsung will likely blow out its core lineup well before 2024.
