One UI 6.0
One UI 6.0 Beta may be available for these Samsung Galaxy devices
Google started Android 14’s Public Beta program in April 2023, with 2nd Beta launches in May. Samsung, on the other hand, may start the One UI 6.0 Beta program for Galaxy devices sometime after the official launch of the new operating system.
The Korean tech titan’s recently launched Galaxy S23 lineup would be the first to get the One UI 6.0 Beta update. Later on, Samsung is likely to expand the Beta program to the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S21 series along with the upcoming and older foldable phones.
The Stable One UI 6.0 update would start rolling out in October 2023, with Samsung may take about three months to gain the stability milestone through its Beta testing. In case the company manages to begin the Beta program by August, we may see the official One UI 6.0 rollout by October.
Last year, the South Korean tech giant started the Android 13-based One UI 5.0 Beta program in early August. With a quite short delay, the company managed to deploy the official One UI 5.0 firmware in late October and rapidly expanded to several models within a month.
We believe Samsung may not make us wait too long for the Android 14-based One UI 6.0 Beta preview. Timeline aside, the Beta program may be available for several Galaxy devices, with some mid-range Galaxy A and M series would be included.
Samsung One UI 6.0 Beta Galaxy Devices:
- S23, S23 Plus and S23 Ultra
- S22, S22 Plus and S22 Ultra
- Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4
- S21, S21 Plus and S21 Ultra
- Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3
Note:
- Availability may be limited to select markets.
- The list is based on the previous rollout and Samsung’s software strategy.
- Select A and M series phones may also get access to the One UI 6.0 Beta program.

The Android 14 update is too away from Galaxy devices, while Samsung just confirmed that the development of One UI 6 and new Good Lock features is underway. Through a community post today, Good Lock’s manager revealed this info, which talks about the next One UI version months ahead.
According to Samsung’s Good Lock manager, the developers are “still” working hard to discover useful features and develop One UI 6. This cryptic quote hints at both the new Android 14-based One UI version and Good Lock’s version 2024.

In addition to revealing One UI 6 progress, Samsung announced annual Good Lock event.

As Samsung teased the One UI 6 and Good Lock’s news together, we expect the customization suite may also get an early launch. Notably, most of the Good Lock plugins will stop working following the Beta software installation, which requires major code changes to resume operation.
The company may introduce One UI 6 Beta next month, starting with the Galaxy S23 series. Good Lock will not be compatible with the Android 14 OS due to which, some plugins and stops will no longer remain accessible. Therefore, you will have to wait until stable software, followed by major app updates.
Android 14-based One UI 6 Beta Program reportedly starts in mid-July 2023. Unlike iOS and Android’s Beta, Samsung One UI 6 testing activity remains limited to select countries. In the past, the company brought the Beta Program to seven markets from Asia, Europe, and North America regions.

Germany, Poland and the UK are the three markets from Europe continent, however, there are several countries which should be available. About two years back, the company unified CSC for European variants, but it has not expanded the Beta market availability.
Samsung One UI 6
Recently, a leaker revealed that the South Korean tech giant may launch the One UI 6 Beta program for the Galaxy S23 series in mid-July. It has also been reported that the Stable Android 14-based One UI 6.0 update will start rolling out to eligible models in October this year.
There are a number of Galaxy smartphones and tablets that are compatible with this major software upgrade, which you can check here. Android 14 brings new customization capabilities, which should also reflect in Samsung’s skin for Galaxy devices along with privacy and security upgrades.
This year, Samsung One UI 6 release would be the biggest rollout in the tech industry world, as part of delivering the Android 14 update. The company is putting extra effort into boosting the update deployment process, with the latest leak shades light on possible One UI 6 Beta for the Galaxy S23 series.
According to tipster Dohyun Kim, Samsung could release the One UI 6 Beta for the Galaxy S23 series in mid-July this year. Notably, the One UI 5 Beta went live on the Beta channel in the first week of August, 10 days ahead of the stable Android 13 debut.

The source added that Samsung’s stable Android 14 update will be available in October. This is the same timeframe as the last year’s UI rollout, with the latest Galaxy S lineup will be the first to secure it. Meanwhile, the Beta activity is seeing an early debut if everything goes as planned by the internals.
With the first One UI 6 Beta, the South Korean tech giant could just install the Android 14 OS to Galaxy S23. Later Beta builds are likely to bring new features and user interface upgrades, just like the last year. Through this, the company will ensure a seamless device experience for Beta testers too.

Various Galaxy devices are eligible for the Android 14 update but not all will get it early. Thanks to the Beta program, select flagship models are expected to share the new OS by July. Other models including mid-range and budget ones will have to wait until the official launch later this year.
We’ve recently compiled and shared a list of devices that will get the major update first. The chart includes the latest Galaxy S23 series on top, followed by the Galaxy S22 series and the Galaxy S21 series. The upcoming Galaxy Z Fold and Flip models will also receive One UI 6 Beta in select markets.
