When is my phone getting Android 14? Here’s everything we know

Android 14 is out now, and as usual, the first to get it was Google’s own Pixel phone family. Not to be undone, Samsung pushed out its version of Android 14 — One UI 6 — after a relatively short beta period and has seemingly now completed its Android 14 rollout. Nothing, the new phone company on the block, has done the same. Now, we’re just waiting for more news from Motorola, who has become the stick in the mud holding everyone up.

If you’re rocking an Android phone that is still stuck on an old build, here’s everything we know about official Android 14 rollout plans for all major brands available in the U.S. market. We recommend using your device’s Find on page function to pinpoint your device on this list.

Can’t find your phone? It’s entirely possible it’s run out of updates and won’t be getting Android 14. Check out our list of the best smartphones if you fancy an upgrade.

Google’s Pixel devices were the first to get the Android 14 beta, so naturally, they were also among the first for the general release. However, while Android 13 could be installed on devices going all the way back to the Pixel 4, Google decided to cut off some of the older Pixel devices with Android 14. Google’s latest Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro shipped with Android 14 when they launched last October.

In case you haven’t automatically received Android 14 via the stable update route from the Settings app, you can flash the system images using the Android Flash Tool. Details about the file package and the necessary instructions are available in the Android Developers guide.

Samsung was one of the first smartphone brands to start beta testing Android 14 on its phones, starting with the Galaxy S23 series. The Galaxy S24 family — which launched in January 2024 — shipped with Android 14 right out of the box.

Like Google, Samsung provides several years of support for its flagship phones, which means previous-gen flagships and foldable phones should safely be on the update roadmap for the next few years. However, Samsung has more than just the Galaxy S-Series of phones in its repertoire.

There’s the Galaxy Z Fold and Flip lineup, the more affordable A-Series phones, and others. In a One UI 6 announcement post, Samsung clarified which phones would be getting Android 14 and when they would receive it.

Samsung has been as good as its word, rolling out the Android 14 update to every phone and tablet it promised.

With this, Samsung has largely finished its Android 14 update roadmap and will have its eyes firmly on the arrival of Android 15.

OnePlus phones

Similar to Google’s and Samsung’s older policies, OnePlus phones have software upgrade support for four years.

A OnePlus Community post spotlighted when various OnePlus phones would get the Android 14 update, and OnePlus has delivered on these promises. The OnePlus 11 got a stable OxygenOS 14 update in mid-November, with other devices following that flagship. This processd has been completed, and Android 14 has rolled out to a large number of OnePlus phones.

OnePlus phones that have received the Android 14 update:

  • OnePlus Open
  • OnePlus 11R
  • OnePlus 11
  • OnePlus 10 Pro
  • OnePlus 10T
  • OnePlus Pad
  • OnePlus Nord 3 5G
  • OnePlus 10R
  • OnePlus 9 Pro
  • OnePlus 9
  • OnePlus 9R
  • OnePlus 9RT
  • OnePlus 8T
  • OnePlus Nord CE 3
  • OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite
  • OnePlus Nord N30
  • OnePlus Nord 2T
  • OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite

Older OnePlus smartphones — like the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro — are not getting the update, as they have aged out of the update cycle. This has been clarified in OnePlus’s community post on the matter. On the flip side, the most recent OnePlus 12 and OnePlus 12R both shipped with Android 14.

Android 14 originally came to the Nothing Phone 1 and Nothing Phone 2 as part of the closed-beta testing but was quiet about when the updates would hit its phones. Thankfully, it didn’t take Nothing too long to release its stable Android 14 update, and updates for Nothing’s major flagships have been completed.

Nothing phones that have received the Android 14 update:

  • Nothing Phone 1
  • Nothing Phone 2

Nothing’s other phone, the Nothing Phone 2a, shipped with Android 14 when it launched in March.

Motorola phones

Motorola hadn’t been forthcoming with its schedule for Android 14, and most questions on the official Lenovo Community Forum for the Android 14 update scenario only received boilerplate responses like this:

“We do not have any details yet about Android 14.”

And this:

“We have not made any announcements yet regarding Android 14 updates. Even after we announce our plans for which phones will be updated, we won’t be able to share any timelines for when it will be updated.”

Thankfully, Motorola has since updated its listings to include which phones will be getting Android 14. However, only a few phones have been updated, so it’s heavily lagging behind competitors, as most have now finished their rollouts.

Motorola phones that have received the Android 14 update:

  • Motorola Edge 40 Pro
  • Motorola Edge Plus (2023)
  • Motorola Moto X40
  • Motorola Moto G53

Motorola phones that will receive the Android 14 update:

  • Motorola Razr 40 Ultra / Razr Plus (2023)
  • Motorola Razr 40 / Razr (2023)
  • Motorola Edge 40 Neo
  • Motorola Edge 40
  • Motorola Edge 30 Ultra
  • Motorola Edge 30 Pro
  • Motorola Edge 30 Neo
  • Motorola Edge 30 Fusion
  • Motorola Edge 30
  • Motorola Moto X30 Pro
  • Motorola Moto S30 Pro
  • Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2023)
  • Motorola Moto G Stylus (2023)
  • Motorola Moto G (2023)
  • Motorola Moto G84
  • Motorola Moto G54
  • Motorola Moto G73
  • Motorola Moto G23
  • Motorola Moto G14
  • Motorola ThinkPhone

As you can see, only a few Motorola devices have received the upgrade yet, meaning Motorola is currently way behind the curve for updates. Additionally, Motorola phones released in 2024 — like the Moto G Power 5G (2024) — are shipping with Android 14.
