Things are getting pretty exciting for Samsung fans. The iPhone 15 hype has died down, and all eyes are on the new Android and One UI upgrade for Galaxy devices. On October 30, Samsung started rolling out the stable/final Android 14 One UI 6.0 update for the Galaxy S23 series following a couple of months of beta testing, and the company will be slowly expanding the update to more and more eligible devices in the coming weeks and months.
When the One UI 6 beta program kicked off, we went investigating and talked about the major and interesting new features over on our YouTube channel. Now that the stable update has been released, we have a new video in which we revisit One UI 6/Android 14 on the Galaxy S23 series for another breakdown.
As expected, the stable update does not bring anything new. All One UI 6 improvements, changes and features were already present in the beta version so not much has changed in the stable release and it pretty much just changes the firmware version.
And that's fine because Samsung did its due diligence during the One UI 6 beta phase and has created a knockout of an update. In addition to some meaningful changes and features, such as a redesigned quick panel, improved camera user interface, and more intuitive multitasking, One UI 6/Android 14 is smooth as heck (though the smoothness factor will vary between flagship and mid-range Galaxy devices).
