Which smartphones are ready for Android 14? Google, Samsung, ASUS? Post the release of Android 14’s stable version, Google Pixel devices have been enjoying the update. Not only does it minimize overheating, but it also extends the battery duration of Pixel 6 and Pixel 7. The update is also available for Pixel 4a (5G) and subsequent models.

Regarding Taiwanese manufacturer ASUS, the Zenfone 10 is slated to be the first to get the Android 14 update. While the beta version has been accessible in the U.S. since October 10, ASUS hasn’t disclosed the official rollout date yet. Additionally, Zenfone 9 and the ROG Phone 6/ROG Phone 6 Pro are expected to receive the update later on.

OnePlus’ OxygenOS 14, the company’s new Android skin, has already been launched in India on selected models (OnePlus 10T and OnePlus 11R). However, the company hasn’t yet revealed a comprehensive list of devices due for the update, though it’s likely the OnePlus 8T will be included.

Nothing has initiated the beta rollout of NothingOS 2.5, based on Android 14. Users of Nothing Phone (2) will soon be able to install the stable OS version, while Nothing Phone (1) users can expect an open beta by year-end.

Xiaomi was quick to introduce MIUI 14 on its Xiaomi 13/Xiaomi 13 Pro and Xiaomi 12 shortly after Android 14’s debut. Older device owners must wait for further announcements from the Chinese manufacturer. Sony has already updated its Xperia 1 V to Android 14, but other Xperia models require patience.

Lastly, due to U.S. restrictions since 2019, Huawei smartphone users, unfortunately, won’t be able to access Android 14.
