Before Verizon, AT&T rolled out the One UI 6.0 update to the Samsung Galaxy S22 series in the US. It’s now expected that other major carriers like T-Mobile will soon join the list. While the firmware is rolling out gradually, you can check the latest software versions below.
Software Version:

Samsung users can check for new software updates by heading towards Settings > Software update > Download and install.
The One UI 6.0 is equipped with various useful features apart from user interface tweaks. The redesigned Quick Panel looks stunningly amazing, with the toggle layout makes it clean and handy. The Camera department is also getting refined to take photography experience to the next level.
The upgrade to One UI 6.0 has various notable changes, with some of them explained below.
UI Tweaks, One UI Sans and Quick Panel:
In One UI 6, Samsung tweaked many elements to create a more modern look and feel, such as the impactful new default font, One UI Sans, and new emojis in the stock Keyboard app. Also, the Quick Panel has been revamped with an updated layout that makes it effortless for users to access the most used toggles.
It is easier than ever to adjust screen visibility on the go as the brightness control bar is available by default in the compact Quick Panel. Besides, there is also a new instant access option to the full Quick Panel, accessible with a single downward swipe at the upper right corner of the screen.
Personalization at Its Best:
Samsung’s Android 14 skin is packed with great new ways for users to customize the Galaxy experience. For instance, it is now possible to set different lock screens according to specific Modes and Routines, such as a calming photo of a forest in Sleep Mode.
There is also a new custom camera widget, which lets users preselect a camera mode and a storage location — like portrait mode and a folder just for headshots. Samsung Studio allows users to check the time of multiple videos at a glace through multi-layers, and easily adjust the location or section of decorative elements.
Unwavering Focus on Privacy and Security:
The Android 14-based One UI 6.0 update equips robust security and privacy. Users with a wider knowledge of security will appreciate Auto Blocker (read more), which enables basic device usage while blocking advanced, mostly unused features.
Knox Matrix supports end-to-end encryption for both synced data and cloud backup. A light version of Knox Vault will also be applied to the Galaxy A Series once One UI 6.0 becomes available on the series. Meanwhile, Passkey allows safer and easier sign-ins to apps and websites.
