Samsung used to give only two or three big updates for its devices, but now it’s doing better. Most of its top phones and mid-range ones are getting four major Android updates. Every year, Google comes up with a new Android version, and Samsung does something similar with its One UI. This update matches the new Android system, and it’s like a new generation of One UI. So, this year, they introduced a test version of One UI 6, which is based on Android 14. Some phones will get this update as their last big one. But before we get into the details, let’s check out what’s new in One UI 6.0.
Samsung has recently launched a stable version of One UI 6.0 for Galaxy S23 users in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The company also mentioned that certain Galaxy smartphones can get this update.

The new features are what we are learning about, and include changes to the notification panel and quick settings, a renewed and full-bodied blur effect, a new font, more possibilities to customize the lock screen and the Always On Display, a sharper separation of notifications, the (liked) return of the separate menu for the battery within the settings, a refresh of all (or almost) pre-installed apps, new widgets for the camera and more. Some specific features may remain reserved for higher-end models, but for now we do not have precise guidance on this.

Samsung has a well-organized lineup of smartphones. Every year, Samsung introduces new additions to these lineups and also promises to give them regular updates.

However, users of these devices need not worry, as Samsung commits to providing ongoing support in the form of security patches throughout the remainder of their software cycle. While they may not receive new Android iterations, the continued security updates ensure that users can enjoy a safe and secure mobile experience with their devices, even after the conclusion of major software updates.
