One UI 7 is the end of the line for the Galaxy A14

Samsung has just officially released the One UI 7 update for smartphone models in the Galaxy A series, including the Galaxy A35, A36 and A55.

The rest of the Galaxy A series will get the One UI 7 update in the coming days, but for the Galaxy A14 and A14 5G, this will be the last major software update for them.

The Galaxy A14 and A14 5G are expected to receive the One UI 7 update this month or next. After this update, the two devices will no longer receive any future OS upgrades. However, Samsung has promised to continue providing security patches for these devices for at least the next 2 years.

Launched in early 2023, the Galaxy A14 and A14 5G come with Android 13 out of the box. According to Samsung, both models are promised to receive two major Android updates, including Android 14 and Android 15, along with four years of security patches. However, with the update to One UI 7 based on Android 15, Galaxy A14 and A14 5G users will soon lose the chance to receive major Android updates.

Introducing the notable new features of One UI 7

If you own a Galaxy A14 or A14 5G and are considering upgrading just to get the latest OS version, you should consider holding off for at least another year. In reality, phone brands don't usually bring significant changes with each major release. Samsung has been working on One UI 7 for over two years, with many improvements and new features. Therefore, the next version, One UI 8, is unlikely to bring many changes that are worth investing in early.

So if you feel the only reason is software, continuing to use the Galaxy A14 or A14 5G for another year might be the sensible choice.
