One UI 6 Release Date: Is It Launching in SEPTEMBER?
Samsung is about to launch One UI 6, the next iteration of its custom Android skin. But when exactly will it launch? Samsung hasn’t revealed anything officially about the launch date, but we can speculate now. Let’s talk about the One UI 6 release date!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The official One UI 6 release date hasn’t been revealed yet.
- One UI 6 release will follow the official launch of Android 14.
- Google could launch Android 14 in September 2023, meaning One UI 6 release could follow in September.
One UI 6 Release Date
The One UI versions are tied with Android versions, and One UI 6 is based on Android 14. This means Samsung will release One UI 6 only after the launch of Android 14.
Samsung is yet to reveal any official date for One UI 6’s release. But we can expect it to happen right after Android 14 is out. Last year, Samsung announced One UI 5 shortly after Google announced Android 13. We can expect the same to happen this year.
Google is almost close to announcing Android 14; it was thought to be coming by August 2023, but it didn’t happen. The launch will certainly happen by September 2023. Meanwhile, Google has also scheduled an announcement for Google Pixel 8 in October. Whether that means Google will be delaying the Android 14 launch to October or not is yet to be seen. Either way, we are close to seeing the official launch of One UI 6; we can now just wait or skip the queue and install One UI 6 Beta!
