They will remain on Android 13
No matter how good Samsung firmware support is, even popular models stop receiving updates over time. Soon, manufacturers will start massively updating smartphones and tablets to the latest Android 14 operating system. And Samsung will not be an exception. However, there are several popular Samsung models that will not be able to update and will remain “overboard”.
A number of popular Samsung Galaxy models will not receive Android 14 update: “hit list”
Android 13 will be the latest major OS update for the following Galaxy phones and tablets:
- Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite;
- Samsung Galaxy S20FE;
- Samsung Galaxy S20 / Galaxy S20+ / Galaxy S20 Ultra;
- Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite;
- Samsung Galaxy Note 20 / Galaxy Note 20 Ultra;
- Samsung Galaxy Z Flip (LTE/5G);
- Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2;
- Samsung Galaxy A22 (LTE/5G);
- Samsung Galaxy A32 (LTE/5G);
- Samsung Galaxy A51;
- Samsung Galaxy A71;
- Samsung Galaxy Tab A8;
- Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite;
- Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2020);
- Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / Galaxy Tab S7+.
These Samsung devices won’t get Android 14 and One UI 6.0, but they will continue to receive security patches for a while longer. If your device is running an OS version earlier than Android 13 and is not listed, it won’t get Android 14 either.
The Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra are likely to get the first chance to upgrade to Android 14 and One UI 6.0, followed by the older S-series flagships and the foldable Galaxy Z Fold5 and Galaxy Z Flip5.
