Samsung reveals exactly when your Galaxy phone is getting Android 14
Owners of Samsung phones that don’t yet have Android 14 – which is the vast majority – will be happy to hear that a release schedule has been published detailing which devices will get the next upgrade.
The stable release of One UI 6.0 with Android 14 was delivered to Galaxy S23 models a few weeks ago (the rollout started on October 30, to be precise, in Europe), and is now on the way for a host of other Samsung smartphones .
The release roadmap was provided via Samsung’s forums in Europe, as pointed out by SamMobile (hats off 9to5Google). Please note that the schedule applies to Romania, so we may see a slightly different story elsewhere.
According to the report, the following smartphones will receive Android 14 this week (listed chronologically):
- Galaxy A34 5G: 11/13/2023
- Galaxy A54 5G: 13/11/2023
- Galaxy Z Flip 5: 11/13/2023
- Galaxy Z Fold 5: 11/13/2023
- Galaxy S22: 11/15/2023
- Galaxy S22 Ultra: 15/11/2023
- Galaxy S22+: 11/15/2023
As you can see, the Galaxy A34 5G and A54 5G, plus Galaxy Z Flip5 and Fold5, should receive the new operating system later today. Assuming Samsung stays on track with this schedule.
The following Samsung devices will receive the upgrade next week:
- Galaxy S23 FE: 20/11/2023
- Galaxy A13 5G: 11/20/2023
- Galaxy A33 5G: 20/11/2023
- Galaxy A53 5G: 20/11/2023
- Galaxy S21 5G: 20/11/2023
- Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G: 11/20/2023
- Galaxy S21+ 5G: 11/20/2023
- Galaxy Z Flip 4: 20/11/2023
- Galaxy Z Fold 4: 11/20/2023
- Galaxy S21 FE 5G: 11/24/2023
And for the last week of November, towards December, we have the following phones:
- Galaxy A52: 11/27/2023
- Galaxy A52s 5G: 11/27/2023
- Galaxy A13: 11/27/2023
- Galaxy A23 5G: 11/27/2023
- Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G: 11/27/2023
- Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G: 11/27/2023
- Galaxy A72: 11/30/2023
- Galaxy A25 5G: 01/12/2023
Moving further into December, there are two more models:
- Galaxy A04s: 04/12/2023
- Galaxy XCover 5: 08/12/2023
Finally, the following smartphones have been marked as ‘not yet decided’ for the OS arrival date, although most have a target week for arrival, except the Galaxy A05s which has just been marked as TBA:
- Galaxy A14 5G: arrival week from November 13
- Galaxy A52 5G: arrival week from November 27
- Galaxy Tab A7 Lite: arrival week from November 27
- Galaxy A14: arrival week from November 27
- Galaxy A05s: TBD
Analysis: A good ballpark prediction
As mentioned, we need to approach this with some caution, as release schedules elsewhere in the world may differ slightly from what is described here – but these dates should apply to just about everyone.
Furthermore, any rollout will inevitably mean that some people will get the update before others, so you may have to be patient to see it depending on which way the Android winds blow and so on.
