Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra will be the first phones to get the One UI 6 update. These phones have already received the One UI 6 Beta update. But when will the stable update of One UI 6 start reaching these phones? Let’s discuss.

Samsung Update Policy For Samsung Galaxy S23 Series

Samsung Galaxy S23 series – Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra are the flagship smartphones from Samsung for 2023, along with Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5. These smartphones receive the best software support from Samsung and are the first devices to receive the Android 14-based One UI 6 update. 

According to the latest Samsung update policy, Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra will receive 4 Android version updates and five years of security patches. Samsung updated its update policy in 2022, adding more years to the support term, and promoted even budget phones with world-class software support.  

One UI 6 Release Date – When Will Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 Ultra Receive One UI 6?

Samsung is yet to announce the launch date of the next iteration of its software skin. As such, it is also yet to announce the update rollout timeline for One UI 6.

One UI 6 is based on Android 14, so the launch of One UI 6 will happen only after the launch of Android 14. Google released the Android 14 Beta 5 update, the last beta update on August 10, and said that the launch of Android 14 is only weeks away. This could translate to either the last week of August or the first week of September. 

Samsung has already started testing the new skin in the form of the One UI 6 Beta update, and it is already available for the Samsung Galaxy S23 series of phones. 

The stable release of One UI 6 could take a month or two after the official launch to reach Galaxy S23 series devices. Last year, stable One UI 5 for the Galaxy S22 series started rolling out on October 2022. We can expect a similar timeline of One UI 6 on the Galaxy S23 series this year.
