Another day, another Samsung phone gets Android 14. The big Android update is rolling out to the Galaxy A13 5G, a budget 5G handset from 2021. The Android 14-based One UI 6.0 update is also available for the Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro, a rugged tablet from last year.
Samsung updates Galaxy A13 5G and Tab Active 4 Pro to Android 14
As of this writing, the Android 14 update is available for Galaxy A13 5G users in Europe. The update comes with the firmware build number A136BXXU5DWK7 in the region. Samsung will soon release One UI 6.0 for the phone in other markets, including the US. The 4G version of the device should also get the update in the coming days.
Depending on your model and region, the build number may vary. However, it’s the same update for everyone. Samsung is pushing One UI 6.0 to the two-year-old budget phone. It brings new features, UI changes, functional improvements, improved system animations, and many more goodies.
The same update is also available for the Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro in Europe. The updated build number for the rugged tablet is T636BXXU4CWL5. Samsung will release the Android 14 update for the device globally over the next few days. One UI 6.0 enhances your everyday user experience of the tablet with new features.
Along with the new goodies, the Galaxy A13 5G and Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro are getting Samsung’s November 2023 security patch as well. Last month’s security release fixes over 60 vulnerabilities, including a handful of critical issues. The Korean firm has already released the December patch for some devices. These two will get a newer security patch later.
If you are using either of these Samsung devices, watch out for a notification about the new update. You will receive the update over the air (OTA). The OTA file size may be 2GB or larger, so make sure that you aren’t on a limited data plan. You can check for updates from the Settings app. Go to the Software update menu and tap on Download and install.
The A-series phone may not get Android 15
This is the third major Android OS update for the Galaxy A13 5G. It debuted with Android 11 and previously received updates to Android 12 and Android 13. We don’t expect it to get Android 15. On the other hand, the Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro debuted with Android 12 and is only receiving its second major update. It should get at least one more if not two.
