Samsung will introduce the Android 14-based One UI 6.0 software version for Galaxy devices this year. I can confirm that the next version will be One UI 6 as there’s no rocket science behind this. One UI is a mature software and the company is strictly maintaining the naming strategy.

One UI 6.0

Flagship Samsung devices ranging from the Galaxy S21 series to the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 foldables are eligible for the One UI 6.0 update, based on Android 14. Besides, there are a lot of Galaxy handsets launched with Android 12, which are also on the list!

One UI 6 is becoming the biggest reason, which is forcing me to purchase the S23 Ultra, but, I’ll continue using my S22 Ultra as a daily driver. Upgrade to the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will be highly fruitful for me, since, Samsung won’t be taking much time to expand One UI 6 Beta for older models.

One UI 6.0 Features

All the Security and Privacy related features and improvements of Android 14 will be included with the One UI 6.0 update. Samsung doesn’t rely on Google’s Android when it comes to the user interface as Galaxies offer the best and clean user experience with One UI.

We are too away from the One UI 6’s tentative development timeline, but, Samsung should now work on app icons, stock launcher, quick settings panel, and notification panel. Most users want a radically renovated user interface in One UI, as it’s continuing with refinements and refinements.

One UI 6.0 Release Date

Within 2022, the company rolled out the One UI 5.0 update for almost all eligible Galaxy models. And February became a great month for flagship Galaxy devices that received the One UI 5.1 feature drop update. It’s difficult to commit release date of One UI 6.0, while the timeline should be early October.

Post completion of the One UI 5.0 rollout, Samsung promised that it will further strengthen its collaboration with chip makers (i.e. Qualcomm) and Google. As promised, this year, the company will try to deploy One UI even faster and more reliable software for Galaxy.

According to the information, Android 14 has a new battery alert feature, which notifies Pixel smartphone users that their smartphone’s battery is about to die. Samsung may also bring this new battery alert feature to Galaxy devices with the upcoming One UI 6.0 iteration.

As shown in the UI screenshot, the OS pushes a notice on the screen/notification panel, informing the user that just 2% battery is remaining in the device. If you are a heavy smartphone user or often see the situation of the battery dies, you’ll see a “Very low battery” notification when you have just 2% battery life left.

At present, Android smartphones running v13 get notified when the battery level is at both 20% and 10%. The OS also recommends you turn on the Battery Saver and Extreme Battery Saver features to get some time to plug in the charger.

Currently, this new battery alert feature is available on Google Pixel smartphones running Android 14 Developer Preview 2. Hopefully, the South Korean tech giant may not skip bringing this minor yet useful addition with its next One UI iteration.
