After much anticipation, Samsung finally introduced the Galaxy S23 FE after skipping the S22 FE. In the United States, the handset was launched with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor; in other countries, such as India, the Exynos 2200 Galaxy S23 FE was available. 

SamMobile reports that the Exynos variant is the version to receive the Android 14 update first, with the Snapdragon variant expected to receive the stable build soon.

While bringing Google's latest Android 14 to the table, the One UI 6 stable build also comes with a revamped quick settings panel, an improved home screen featuring new widgets, a new emoji design, and several noteworthy enhancements. Along with the new One UI 6 update, Samsung has also announced several AI camera improvements for the Galaxy phones. Additionally, the update involves new camera features and relevant editing tools.

If you own a Galaxy Tab S9, Tab S9 Plus, Tab S9 Ultra, or the latest Galaxy S23 FE, now might be the right time to navigate to your device's Settings > Software update > Download and install.
