It appears that Samsung has finally started picking up the pace. After the rollout for the Android 14-based One UI 6.0 started yesterday on the Galaxy S22, and we all know that the Galaxy S23 users are already enjoying the beta update, the rollout for the slightly older Galaxy S21 series has also started in Samsung's home turf. This means that all three variants are now eligible to roll into the beta program via the Samsung Members app and get started.
Android 14-based One UI 6.0 beta is now rolling out to all Galaxy S21 devices in South Korea, more regions to follow
Of course, the process for installing Android 14-based One UI 6.0 on your Galaxy S21 is not going to be different from all the other supported devices. All you have to do is register your device using the Samsung Members account and be sure that you are logged into the Samsung account. Once that is done, you should see a banner prompting you to sign up for the beta program, and you will receive an OTA shortly after that.
Currently, all three Galaxy S21 variants in South Korea are receiving the beta update. The update is available for factory unlocked variants, as well as for carrier devices from the likes of LGU+, SKT, and KT. The reports suggest that the new update comes at 2.5GB and more, so be sure that you are downloading it over an unlimited data connection.
For those wondering about other regions, it is safe to say that Samsung will indeed release the One UI 6.0 update for Galaxy S21 devices in other regions, as well. The company does have a habit of making sure the update rolls out on the home turf first, and once that is completed, other major regions that have received the beta program for other devices should get access to the update as well.
Looking at the pace, I can safely assume that most of the major Galaxy S devices should get the Android 14-based One UI 6.0 update by the end of this year. At least the Galaxy S23 and the Galaxy S22 series, for starters. For the Galaxy S21, if not the end of this year, early 2024 makes more sense, too. But whatever the case might be, it is safe to say that Samsung is sticking to its promise to ensure that people are not facing massive delays in the updates.
