The day is finally here, and the Galaxy S23 users are no longer required to wait for the Android 14-based One UI 6.0 update. After being successful with the beta program, the South Korean firm is finally seeding the stable update to all the supported devices. The roll-out started earlier today, but at that time, it was only limited to those who joined the beta program. However, that changes now as the update is now rolling out to those who are still running Android 13 on their devices. This means that you should be ready for the update any time now.
The Galaxy S23 series is now getting the Android 14-based One UI 6.0 update, and it weighs 3GB for those still on Android 13
Now, the important thing to note here is that if you are running the One UI 6.0 beta, then the Android 14 update will not weigh a lot in terms of size, and your Galaxy S23 should be ready without much preparation needed in the first place. However, if you are still running stable Android 13, then the new update is going to be big. Current reports suggest that the update is around 3GB, so be sure you are connected to Wi-Fi and that your phone has enough battery to ensure the update is done seamlessly and without any issues.
As far as the Android 14-based One UI 6.0 update is concerned, you will get all the goodness that Google introduced to the new OS, along with all the flavors sprinkled by Samsung on top of it. The Galaxy S23 experience will largely be the same, but you will see some minor and major changes under the hood that will make your overall experience a lot better than before. Frankly, I am glad that Samsung has decided to roll out the update so quickly. This means that the Galaxy S22 and perhaps the Galaxy S21 series should also be getting the latest update by the end of this year, which definitely sits well according to Samsung's schedule.
It's worth noting that the update is currently rolling out in stages, so it will take some time before it is finally available in all the regions. If you own a Galaxy S23, you can go to Settings and keep checking for the update. Just to be on the safe side, it would be better to make a backup of your data before updating in case something goes wrong.
