According to previous sources, Samsung has commenced developing the OneUI 6 user interface based on Android 14 for their Galaxy phones.
Leaks suggest Samsung plans to release a public beta for One UI 6 and Android 14 in the third week of July. As customary, their latest flagship, the Galaxy S23 series, is set to be the first in line. The Korean giant appears to be on the right track with this schedule, based on a recent leak on GeekBench, where a Galaxy S23 Ultra was found running Android 14.
The device identified on GeekBench bears the model number 'SM-S918U' for AT&T in the U.S. Since this is beta software, the benchmark scores may not accurately reflect the phone's performance. Nevertheless, it's a sign that internal beta testing for OneUI 6 is progressing well.
If Samsung follows its regular release stages, we can anticipate at least a few weeks of public testing and a minimum of 4 public beta versions before the Korean company releases a stable version for the Galaxy S23 series.

It's likely to adjust the user interface and include some notable Android 14 features such as improved battery status information, enhanced Nearby Share functionality, a new Share menu, transparent navigation bar across all apps, and more.
