Samsung Android 14: which Samsung phones have it and when will yours get it?
Android 14 launched on October 4 and while it was initially only available for the top Pixel phones, Samsung has quickly started updating its handsets to Android 14.
Now, a number of Samsung phones and tablets have this latest major Android update (along with Samsung’s One UI 6 tweaks), and many more will get it soon.
Below is a list of Samsung phones and tablets that already have Android 14, along with which phones and tablets will get it – and when. We’ve also included a quick overview of what changes and new features you can expect to see on your phone when Android 14 and One UI 6 arrive.
What do Android 14 and One UI 6 bring to your phone?
Samsung’s take on Android 14 isn’t the same as Google’s, so the exact features you get differ a bit. Highlights include major changes to the look and layout of the quick panel, camera app, and other parts of the interface, aiming to make things more intuitive, speed up navigation, and give you more control and customization options. to give.
For example, the Quick panel has a new layout with the most used options (like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) at the top, while less used options like eye comfort are now at the bottom. In terms of customization, you can now move the clock more freely on the lock screen, and new camera and weather widgets are available.
You can also set different lock screens for different activities and there are new emoji designs, among other things.
Which Samsung phones have been updated to Android 14?
Samsung has already rolled out Android 14 to a number of phones, including high-profile handsets like the Samsung Galaxy S23, Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus and Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
You can see these S-series devices in the table below, but keep in mind that in some cases the rollout is still ongoing, so Android 14 may not be available everywhere. We’ve included what is the current availability as far as we know, but if you think you should have Android 14 by now and don’t, just give it a few days.
Also keep in mind that if a phone anywhere has Android 14, the update will likely be available worldwide soon. So the Android 14 update should come to all phones in these charts worldwide soon.

Which Samsung phones will get Android 14?
While quite a few of the top Samsung phones already have Android 14, many more will get it. We also have a good idea of when, because Samsung shared a roadmap via its Members app in Germany (via SamMobile).
We’re using this roadmap for the timeframes below, but it’s worth noting that these may be subject to change, and this is presumably exactly when the Android 14 update will land in Germany. So it may arrive a little earlier or later in other regions, but we expect it around the same time everywhere.

|---|---|
| December 2023 | Galaxy Z Fold 4, Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Flip 4, Galaxy Z Flip 3, Galaxy S21 FE, Galaxy A72, Galaxy A52, Galaxy A52 5G, Galaxy A52s 5G, Galaxy A33 5G, Galaxy A14, Galaxy M53 5G, Galaxy M33 5G, Galaxy XCover 6 Pro |

Which Samsung phones won’t get Android 14?
Not all Samsung devices will get Android 14, and if your device isn’t listed in any of the tables above, chances are it isn’t.
This includes the Samsung Galaxy S20, Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus, Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy Note 20, Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G.
As a general rule, any Samsung phone that’s less than two years old should get Android 14, while flagship devices from 2021 onwards will definitely get that, as they’ll be eligible for four years of updates.
There are also some A-series models that are eligible for three or four year updates, but again, for the most part, they will likely be in one of the tables above if they start getting Android 14.
