Android 13 has been officially released on August 15th, 2022. This means that many Samsung smartphones can also look forward to receiving the update to Android 13 and thus, also One UI 5. Fortunately, Samsung's firmware guidelines are exemplary and transparent in nature. As soon as the company released the first stable update, a schedule for other models was announced as well. See when your Samsung Galaxy will be updated to Android 13.


June 2023 update: With most devices updated to Android 13/One UI 5, Samsung is rolling out One UI 5.1.


As you might know at this point, the South Korean company guarantees at least four years of major Android updates for its flagship smartphones, and up to five years of security updates for its new devices.

After Google released Android 12 in October 2021, the Palo Alto company was faster this time with version 13 by releasing it in mid-August. For Samsung, not much should change in the process compared to last year. Following Samsung's update history, the first devices that received the new One UI 5 features were the Galaxy S22 series, which should be followed by the most recent foldable devices.

According to the timeline announced by Samsung in South Korea, each supported Galaxy S, Z, and Note phone will start to receive Android 13 by December. Some mid-range models from the Galaxy A series will even begin updating around November.

With over 10 years of reviewing smartphones and wearables, I recently became addicted to smart home gadgets. Even though I dove into the Apple ecosystem two years back, Android remains as one of my passions. Previously editor-in-chief of AndroidPIT and Canaltech in Brazil, I now write for the US market. I love my records and I believe that the best way to get to know a place is through its food.

      North American versions of the A42 have started receiving the update just recently. Also, it is being distributed in batches.

      If you have bought the device through a carrier, it may take a bit longer to get the update notification.

    You missed the S10 lite that is getting it due to not being released until January 2020

      The list didn't include the S10 Lite (or Note 10 Lite) because it was based on the Korean timeline (apparently the devices weren't sold there).

      We have updated the list with both models, based on the European timeline.

      Thanks for the heads up.
