Google's latest advance preview version of Android 14 - its third beta for Pixel smartphones - is thought to be the first one to boast "Platform Stability". Accordingly, Samsung bloggers now hold forth that this is a new sign that Samsung is ready to release its own first beta of One UI based on the major OS upgrade.
The OEM has been observed to bake One UI 6 compatibility into updates for some of its first-party apps, thereby inviting speculation that a new beta program for up-to-date flagship smartphones is on the way. It is tipped to reach the Galaxy S23, S23+ and S23 Ultra by the third week of July 2023.
By contrast, the S22 series saw its first One UI 5 beta in the first week of August 2022. Samsung's apparently accelerated software development plans might also dovetail nicely with a comparatively early Galaxy Unpacked event in late July 2023. In the meantime, interested S23-series users could get ready for the possible inaugural Android 14 beta by checking their Samsung Members app for relevant updates.
