Samsung owners receive free phone upgrade this week with big camera boost and new emoji – check yours now | The Sun

SAMSUNG owners are due to receive a big phone update, fit with new emoji design and a major camera app upgrade.

The new perks form part of Android 14, which was unveiled by Google in early October when it was first rolled out to Pixel devices.

But the operating system will be issued out to Samsung Galaxy devices over the coming weeks under the title One UI 6.0.

The update has already hit Samsung's newest Galaxy phones first, including the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra.

But this week, the owners of nine more Samsung handsets will be graced with the sparkly new update.

Check the full list of devices receiving One UI 6.0 this week, and when you'll receive it:

All One UI 6.0 perks

Beyond a new emoji design, the One UI 6.0 update features a raft of other highlights.

A new button layout has brought along dedicated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth icons to the top of the screen for easy access.

Samsung owners (and millions of other Android fans) will also be able to reposition the clock on their Lock screen for added customisation.

There's a more "stylish and modern" default font, according to experts at SamMobile, that can be selected in Settings.

Pop-up windows will stay open when you navigate over to the Recents screen, so users can pick up where they left off.

Samsung owners can also enjoy a new weather widget with enhanced illustrations alongside more information about snowfall, atmospheric pressure and moon phases.
