How do you get your Samsung phone to update. Mine says it is up-to-date and it's running 13.

Android 14 isn't out yet, those are beta screenshots. One UI 6 stable probably comes out in December.

And most likely only the S23 series. Everything else will be a good bit later.

  1. You need S23 series phone AND need to be in one of the specific regions. More phones will be added later.
  2. Use Samsung Members app to opt in to beta
  3. Do a software update like how you normally would. https://developer.samsung.com/one-ui-beta

You also need to check that your phone will get more updates and it hasn't reached its update quota. In that case getting the newer updates became trickier.

Update quota? I am seriously regretting samsung instead of pixel.

Yeah I was surprised too. I was hearing a lot of people talk about the new design thing that came with Android 13 and I got confused as I hadn't seen it, I looked into it and it apparently came with 13. So I was wondering why I had not gotten a chance to update, as 13 was apparently all ready out.

The reason turned out to be that my s10 had gotten all of its allocated updates and would not be receiving 13.
