Android 14 update for Galaxy S23 line to arrive very soon

Those of you with a Galaxy S23 series handset are so close to getting Android 14 that you can taste it. The One UI 6/Android 14 beta program for the Galaxy S23 line is coming to an end this week which means that the final, stable version of the update should be just right around the corner. Samsung started disseminating One UI 6/Android 14 in August and eight beta updates have already been pushed out to Sammy's current flagship handsets.

Following the Galaxy S23 line, the Galaxy S22 series, the Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and other models have been the recipient of multiple beta updates meaning that they are on the same journey that the Galaxy S23 series has just about finished, just a few weeks behind. We know that the beta program is ending this week for the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra thanks to a forum moderator in charge of Korean community forum posts related to the Galaxy S flagship series (via AndroidHeadlines).

Translated by Google Translate, the moderator wrote, "The S23 One UI 6.0 beta is expected to be last this week. We are conducting a final inspection of all beta version issues and if there are important issues, we are issuing a new version and conducting verification (review). We have a target schedule, but please understand that it is difficult to provide a detailed s schedule. It is expected that announcements will be made through official channels (Samsung Members, etc.) at a later date when the official version is distributed."

Besides the current flagship line, all former flagship models receiving the update should get it before the end of the year. Thanks to the delay in the official release of Android 14 from August to October 4th (when the new Pixel 8 line was introduced), there could be less than a month's gap between the release of Android 14 for compatible Pixel models and the Galaxy S23 line.

Last year, Google released Android 13 on August 15th while the Galaxy S22 line received the final version of Android 13 in late October. But Google did manage to extend support on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro by offering seven OS updates for the pair compared to three for the Pixel 7 line.
