However, the Korean company has not yet officially announced a beta program for its phones. It has been unofficially reported that the first beta of Android 14-based One UI 6 for the Galaxy S23 series will launch in the third week of July.

sammobile It reports that the Galaxy S23 series will be the first series to receive the Android 14 beta in the third week of July. The publication claims that Google is waiting for the Android 14 beta to reach platform stability before Samsung begins its own development. The beta update will gradually roll out to other devices.

Samsung started updating its apps with support for One UI 6.0 a few weeks ago, which indicates that the official announcement of the beta program could be coming soon. Alongside the Korean company, Oppo has also confirmed the Android 14 update for its 11 smartphones, including the Find X5 Pro and Reno 8 Pro.
