Samsung Galaxy Note 20 September 2023 update India

As Google has started the development of Android 14, Samsung Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra users may have been wondering about the One UI 6.0 upgrade. This story will discuss the Android 14 progress, Samsung One UI 6.0 Beta/Stable plan, and Galaxy Note 20 series’ eligibility.

Google began the Android 14 Developer Preview in early February 2023. A month later, the company kicked off the second Developer Preview build to Pixel users who sideloaded the initial preview. As per the latest roadmap, Android 14 could reach the platform stability milestone by August 2023.

Android 14

A few days ago, the Mountain View company started the Public Beta program of Android 14 OS. Pixel users can get the latest OS over the air by enrolling in the Android Beta Program. Before reaching the stable mark, the new OS version will get incremental bug fix updates and major Beta versions.

One UI 6.0

Based on Android 14, Samsung will introduce the One UI 6.0 software at its annual developers’ conference later this year. Before the announcement, the company will hopefully begin the One UI 6 Beta testing for some flagship models such as the Galaxy S23 and S22 series.

Talking about the Galaxy Note 20, consumers have to stick to the Android 13-based One UI 5.1 software. Both LTE and 5G models of the Note 20 will not receive the next major Android upgrade. The company has ended major upgrade support later last year.

Galaxy Note 20 Ultra launched alongside the Galaxy Note 20 at Samsung Unpacked in August 2020. Similarly, the Ultra variant is also ineligible for the Android 14-based One UI 6.0 upgrade. Not only LTE, but the 5G version has also lost eligibility for OS upgrades with Android 13.

Here’s why

Note 20 was the first Galaxy lineup that debuted with support for three generations of OS upgrades. Out of the box, both flagships run Android 10-based One UI 2.5. Starting Android 11, the Korean tech giant delivered Android 12 and Android 13 software updates, completing the promise it did during the launch.

Samsung 2023 OS Policy

In early 2022, Samsung revised its software updates policy, promising up to four generations of OS and five years of security updates to select Galaxy devices. Apart from flagships launched after the Galaxy S21 series, the same policy is also applied to select A and M series phones.
