The launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Tab S9 coincided with the launch of a new version of OneUI, Samsung’s home interface that comes with Android 13 on all these devices. Labeled 5.1.1, this version is an enhancement to OneUI 5, which specifically focuses on improving Flex Mode on folding smartphones. So we suspect that OneUI 6 is getting ready to come with Android 14.
A press release published on Samsung’s German platform earlier this week, which was later removed, informed the brand’s customers about the launch of the beta testing phase of OneUI 6 in August. Reserved for customers in Germany as well as South Korea and the United States, this beta belongs to the Galaxy S23 series; No doubt, it has been postponed only for a few days, and will be introduced in a few weeks.
The press release promises various new features, along with a render showing the Galaxy S23 Ultra running OneUI 6. They especially concern the quick settings panel, which has been redesigned as a card with rounded corners: it will be directly accessible with a swipe motion from the top right corner of the screen. Samsung has also announced the integration of customization options, which specifically allows the displayed wallpaper to be modified depending on the situation, for example in standby mode. The manufacturer does not say much, but also promises cosmetic improvements, which are enough to smooth it out “Daily Tasks” , so users can be even more productive”, Suffice it to say that the actual launch of OneUI 6 will bring a lot of other new features.
If the OneUI 6 beta alongside Android 14 is preparing to debut, it’s undoubtedly gearing up for the launch of Samsung’s next high-end smartphone, the Galaxy S24. It should be noted that the Korean is not the first to offer its customers to test Android 14 before its official availability, as apart from Google Pixel of course, nothing, Oppo, Vivo or even Same is the case with OnePlus.
