As of today, Samsung is rolling out Android 14 to the Galaxy S23, S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra in regions including the UK and portions of Europe, such as France, Germany, Belgium, Finland, Poland, Portugal, Romania, and Spain. The update weighs in at 350mb for users who are updating from the latest beta to the stable update, but for those coming directly from One UI 5.1, it’s an update of over 3GB.
@netchami @ijeff ironically, graphene had to do its porting through unofficial source releases and then finish the porting by comparing against the official A14 source; whereas Samsung, as a partner of google, had exclusive access to the unreleased source.
Well it takes more time if you also have to port all the spyware/bloatware to ensure that the user will always be spied on. Imagine the spyware failing, that would have disastrous consequences for Samsung, Google and their other data mining friends…
