Samsung’s One UI 6.0 Update: Galaxy S20, Note 20, and More Left Behind, New Options for Android Enthusiasts

Android 14 update is now available for Google Pixel devices. Samsung, on the other hand, started the Stable One UI 6.0 rollout for the Galaxy S23 series in late October. Samsung consumers have high expectations with the One UI 6.0 update, but many Galaxy devices are no longer compatible.

Samsung should have pledged the Android 14 update for Galaxy S20 and Note 20 series, but it didn’t. It leads the Galaxy S20 FE to ineligibility for the next major update. Launched pre-installed with Android 10, the S20, Note 20 and S20 FE devices are no longer eligible for any major upgrade.
