If One UI 5.0 and its development timeline in 2022 is any indication, Samsung may launch an Android 14 One UI 6.0 beta program later this summer. It will be open for select devices in key markets, and eligible participants will be able to sign up for testing One UI 6.0 beta firmware through the Samsung Members app on their Galaxy devices.

Samsung hasn’t made any official One UI 6.0 beta announcements. But based on events from 2022, we can make an educated guess on which Galaxy devices might get access to the Android 14 beta program later this year.

Galaxy devices that might get an early taste of One UI 6.0

Chances are that the first phones to be invited to beta-testing the Android 14 One UI 6.0 update will be the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra. Here’s a list of devices we think Samsung might add to the beta program later this year:

  • Galaxy S23 series
  • Galaxy S22 series
  • Galaxy S21 series
  • Galaxy Z Fold 5
  • Galaxy Z Fold 4
  • Galaxy Z Fold 3
  • Galaxy Z Flip 5
  • Galaxy Z Flip 4
  • Galaxy Z Flip 3
  • Galaxy A53 and/or Galaxy A54

Surprisingly, the Galaxy A52 got access to One UI 5.0 beta last year, whereas the newer Galaxy A53 did not. Therefore, it is possible that One UI 6.0 beta may come to the Galaxy A53 this year and not the A54. Or maybe the beta will be open to both. There’s no way to be sure which mid-range devices Samsung will decide to include.

As for the Galaxy S20 and Note 20 lineups, they are not eligible for four major OS upgrades, so they will not receive Android 14 One UI 6.0, beta or otherwise. The same is true for the Galaxy Z Fold 2 and the Z Flip 5G.

Speaking of foldable phones, if things go the way they did in 2022, the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5 may be released running One UI 5.1.1. If it exists, this version of One UI may remain somewhat exclusive to foldable devices or land on select Samsung tablets. If so, the Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5 may also be eligible for a One UI 6.0 beta program later in the year.
