Android 14, coupled with the OneUI 6.1 interface, is unveiled by Samsung as their newest software upgrade. This list highlights those smartphones and tablets poised to receive this update. Regrettably, not every device will embrace the features designated as Galaxy AI.
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.

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.

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:
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.
