The Galaxy S21 and Galaxy A52 are eligible for the Android 14 and One UI 6 updates, while the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20 FE are no longer eligible for any major updates because they were launched back in 2020 and already received three major updates. It is also worth noticing that Samsung has also started the One UI 6 beta program for the Galaxy S21 in South Korea, which will soon be available in the US.
