Updating to the latest operating system is invariably a wise move. It elevates security standards, rejuvenates the interface, and unlocks the newest functionalities. In the realm of Samsung gadgets, this involves Android 14 and the OneUI 6.1 overlay. This software debuted with the launch of the Galaxy S24 series and is set to roll out across further devices. Below is a tally of these devices.

The latest operating system was unveiled across three models at its January premiere. This includes the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra models. Updates are progressively being dispatched (the timing varies by region) to additional devices. Priority for the new software will be given to the owners of the Galaxy S23, the budget-oriented flagship Galaxy S23 FE, the fifth instalment of Samsung Galaxy Z foldable phones, and the tablets from the Tab S9 series. Here’s the detailed list of devices set first to receive or those already updated to OneUI 6.1:

It’s unsurprising for Samsung devices from 2023 and 2024 to be upgraded with the latest software. Encouragingly, older models are also set to benefit from the new operating system and its enhanced overlay. It appears that any smartphone previously eligible for the Android 14 update (originally with the OneUI 6.0 overlay) is also in line to receive the OneUI 6.1 version. The list encompasses a considerable range of smartphones, including:

Remarkably, even the Galaxy A52 model, launched in March 2021, is slated for the latest software upgrade. With recent models, Samsung has continued to offer extensive updates. The Galaxy S24 series, for instance, is anticipated to receive support for up to seven years. This trend of long-term software updates is also mirrored by the offerings for Google Pixel series devices.
Tablets are not left behind in receiving updates:
- Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE
- Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+
- Samsung Galaxy Tab S8
- Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+
- Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra
- Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite

A particularly noteworthy innovation in the latest Samsung software is the ensemble of functionalities leveraging artificial intelligence, tagged Galaxy AI. These features premiered alongside the Galaxy S24 series. Galaxy AI enables the generation of concise summaries from extended texts, provides composition suggestions, and facilitates real-time translation of phone conversations into various languages, among other AI-driven capabilities. However, these functions are inaccessible on all phones with the OneUI 6.1 overlay. Devices granted access to Galaxy AI include:

- Samsung Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, Galaxy S24 Ultra
- Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, Galaxy S23 Ultra
- Samsung Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, Galaxy S22 Ultra
- Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5

- Samsung Galaxy Tab S9, Galaxy Tab S9+, Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra
- Tablets Galaxy Tab S9 FE, Galaxy Tab S9 FE+
- Tablets Galaxy Tab S8, Galaxy Tab S8+, Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra
This indicates that while some less powerful phones (such as those in the Galaxy A series or older Galaxy S series models) may lack the computational capacity for Galaxy AI, the latest devices are robustly equipped to harness these advanced technologies.
