Actually, expected for the third week of July, Samsung should get down to business in the last week of the month that is coming to an end. Screenshots like the following two from the Samsung community forum (1, 2) are doing the rounds on social media and Samsung fan pages right now. They come from India and the US, for example, confirming that Samsung is planning a full-scale beta program for the Android 14 interface on Galaxy phones and tablets this year.
Germany and Poland are said to be among the countries in Europe this time that can participate in the Android 14 beta program, which is initially available for the current camera flagships Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 Ultra (here available from Samsung) will be released, but it may soon be available for other Samsung phones, such as Samsung’s current foldable line.
Expected tomorrow as part of the Galaxy Unpacked Event, the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Galaxy Z Flip5 foldable phones will start with One UI 5.1.1, but will soon also receive One UI 6 as a beta version. In addition to most of the Android 14 innovations that aren’t exclusive to the Pixel, OneUI6 should also get some design innovations and app updates from Samsung on board. A support employee from the South Koreans recently revealed some details in advance, including a new media player.
