Two months will soon pass since the official launch of Android 14. The path to the new version of Google’s operating system began, as it could not have otherwise, on the Pixel. Other producers who have bet on this platform since last October 4 They are already working on adapting it to smartphones.
Some have already reaped the rewards of this work, but others have a few busy months ahead of them until they can roll out the update to all their phones. Therefore, we will count the terminals updated by each manufacturer; This leaves us with a clear winner against the others. What is this manufacturer? Keep reading and we will learn together.
How many phones have been updated to Android 14?
Android 14 has not been a dramatic transformation compared to the features we had in Android 13. But the best thing for us and our smartphone is that we can do it. Get the update as soon as possibleto enjoy new features as well as improved performance and occasional tweaks that make the experience more consistent.

If you have doubts about When will your mobile phone be updated?, don’t despair, this website tells you. If you don’t want to access it, don’t worry, because we’ll look back first to see what updates to Android 14 have yielded results.
Although Google an exception Since it’s the main Android developer (to update its phones day one and indiscriminately, too), it doesn’t hurt to take this into consideration: from the Pixel 4a 5G to the new Pixel 8, they all have the latest iteration.
Others like: ASUS, Fairphone, Nokia, Honor or Motorola They couldn’t even put it on their flagship, so their accounts remained at zero. Now we continue to examine those who have released updates for some of their terminals. In summary, these are:
OnePlus: Two devices updated (one in beta) – OnePlus 10 Pro and OnePlus 11
Oppo: Updated one device – Oppo Find N2 Flip.
sony– Updated two devices – Sony Xperia 1 V and Sony Xperia 10 V.
Xiaomi: Three devices have been updated – Xiaomi 12T, Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro.
Then there are those who resist falling to the bottom because of what they have. beta versions are in testing phase, like Nothing, which has already tested Android 14 for two of its phones. A similar situation happens with Realme and its Realme GT2 Pro, but you may have missed a manufacturer in this list, but since it is the manufacturer that does it best, we left it to last place.
Samsung is the king of updates, courtesy of Google
Actually, Samsung continues to set the pace for Android updates. Who else can it be? The Korean company has left behind the times when it received criticism from users due to the high delay in updates since the official launch of Google.
In fact, the situation in the middle class was even bloodier: in 2017 it had already developed the update policy for flagships, but we said that the middle class from Xataka Android could take time. up to one year from departureAt that time it was Android 7.0 Nougat.
Today, things have changed significantly, as we will see below. Samsung has not only increased its speed, but also improved its ability to provide updates across all ranges. Although undoubtedly the most important development is extension of support period what their smartphones enjoy: four years for all these mobile phones.
We would recommend this good support policy to other brands, but the truth is that it has already had an impact and we are seeing its impact. Copy on others like Xiaomi. Recently, at the presentation of Xiaomi 13T, the popular manufacturer announced that it will have four annual system updates, as well as an extra update with security patches.
Samsung has developed its update policy with four years of support. Other brands, such as Xiaomi, are trying to follow in the footsteps of the Korean manufacturer more timidly.
It can’t be expanded to other phones in Xiaomi’s catalogue, but Samsung’s moves seem to encourage the rest. Let’s see now Why was Samsung crowned with Android 14?. We will find the reason for this in the following list with terminals that already benefit from the new features of One UI 6:
Samsung Galaxy A14 5G
Samsung Galaxy A23 5G
Samsung Galaxy A34
Samsung Galaxy A53
Samsung Galaxy A54
Samsung Galaxy A73
Samsung Galaxy M53
Samsung Galaxy S21 5G
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE

Samsung Galaxy S22+
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
Samsung Galaxy S23
Samsung Galaxy S23 FE
Samsung Galaxy S23+
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5
In total 20 models It seems sufficient to give this title to Samsung, which has lined up updates for a few more terminals and expects them to meet expectations in the beta program. We can add one more asterisk to this list, and it means that not all models that appear are updated worldwide, because, as is usually the case in these cases, the distribution starts in some regions and begins to spread to other regions.
Even so, it is worth praising what you have achieved in such a short time, especially when looking back. In short, before buying a mobile phone, software is one of our prioritiesWe wouldn’t go too far in recommending one of the most famous galaxy mobile phones in the Android universe.
