Samsung Galaxy Tab S8, S8 Plus, and S8 Ultra Android 14 (One UI 6.0) Release Date

• Beta update: July-August 2023
• Stable release: October 2023

Samsung is still silent about any Android 14 beta testing for its devices. While Google and other OEMs are already testing the new version of Android 14, Samsung seems to take its time. However, users don’t have to wait very long.

The Galaxy S23 series should be the first batch of devices to get the Android 14 beta update. This should be followed by the Galaxy S22 series and the Galaxy Tab S8 series. So yes, the release date is not very far now.

Talking about the release date, Samsung should release the update for the Galaxy Tab S8 series somewhere around July or August, ahead of the stable Android 14 release. Plus, when we look into the past, Samsung tends to release the Android beta just a couple of weeks before the official stable Android 14 update.

Furthermore, Samsung releases stable Android updates in around October, as we saw last year with the Android 13 (One UI 5.0) update. This means that the Galaxy Tab S8 series should receive the stable Android 14 (One UI 6.0) update in October 2023. We’ll keep you updated on this information. So, stay tuned.
