As promised, Samsung delivered three major OS upgrades to 2019’s Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Note 10 series of devices. While these flagship smartphones have received three big updates, they will have to spend their remaining time on the Android 12.
On the other hand, the affordable variants of Samsung Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Note 10 are luckier as they are still compatible with the upcoming Android 13 update. Nah… it’s not speculation as the Samsung software upgrade policy itself confirms the Galaxy S10 Lite and Note 10 Lite will get Android 13 update as well.
Android 13 for Lite, nothing for main models!
Back in August 2020, Samsung announced that all the flagship Galaxy devices launched in or after 2019 will be getting three generations of major Android OS upgrades. Accordingly, the Galaxy S10 Lite and Galaxy Note 10 Lite are eligible for Android 13 as they were shipped with Android 10 pre-installed.
At the same time, the Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+, Galaxy S10 5G, Galaxy Note 10, Galaxy Note 10+, and Galaxy Note 10+ 5G are no longer compatible with any big Android OS upgrade. The reason is undoubtedly clear as all of these handsets were introduced with Android 9 (Pie).

The South Korean tech giant often updates One UI apps, bringing support for unreleased software iterations. It helps the app continue to work after upgrading to a new version of the operating system or a major One UI switch. It brings “added colors following One UI 6.x” the changelog reads.
Notably, the Samsung Calculator app with support for One UI 6 is not available to download for all consumers. It rolled out to a limited number of users having the latest flagship smartphone. In the coming days, we are expecting a wider rollout of this upgraded app version.

These Samsung Galaxy devices are eligible for Android 14: One UI 6.0 Device List

Android 14 officially debuted for testing and development, and a number of Samsung Galaxy devices will receive it with One UI 6.0. Google is likely to push the official version of Android 14 by August this year, whereas the One UI 6 Beta might start by late July.
Millions of Galaxy devices have already upgraded to the Android 13 operating system, but, Samsung consumers have now started to discuss the Android 14 update. Pay attention, Galaxy devices eligible for a more major OS upgrade might get One UI 5.1.1 as well, based on Android 13, before v14.
In early February, Google kicked off Android 14 on the Developer Preview channel, with the 2nd build released in March. April and May are the months of Android 14’s Public Beta rollout (Beta 1 and Beta 2), however, Platform Stability could be reached in June / July.
Various non-Pixel phones are now eligible to install the Android 14 Beta, thanks to Google’s announcement at I/O 2023. Regardless, Samsung hasn’t participated in Google’s activities as it runs its own One UI Beta testing for Galaxy handsets.
The current One UI 5.0 is based on Android 13, whereas the last year’s One UI 4.x versions were based on the Android 12 OS. Accordingly, the company will introduce the One UI 6.0 software for Galaxy devices, which will be based on the Android 14 OS.
Samsung is committed to bringing up to four generations of Android plus One UI and five years of security updates. Thanks to this solid policy, we have a pretty clear idea of which Galaxies will be receiving the next Android version upgrade.
