Samsung Galaxy A72 receives its last major OS update to Android 14

Samsung has reportedly started seeding One UI 6.0 based on Android 14 to Samsung Galaxy A72 owners in Russia, but as is usually the case, it won’t take long for other markets to get the new firmware too.

It’s important to note that this is the end of the road for the Galaxy A72 as this is the last major OS update it’s about to receive. The handset launched back in March 2021 on Android 11, so a midranger getting three major OS versions throughout its lifespan is pretty respectable.

Anyway, the firmware version is A725FXXU6EWL4 and surprisingly, it’s only 2GB big, but it does include the latest December 2023 security patch. Speaking of, you can expect maybe one more year of security updates. It’s also possible that One UI 6.1 will reach the Galaxy A72 once it debuts alongside the Galaxy S24 series, but nothing is certain.

In case you are not seeing the update even after manually checking for one in the Settings menu, wait a few more days, and it will pop up.
