After release Androidat 13 in the second half of 2022, we are of course now logically looking at when it will be Android 14. Based on previous plans, the developer preview launch phase of the system could be just around the corner. But when could we expect a wide release?
There are several indicators that subtly indicate the time frame in which we might be launching Androidat 14 wait. The internal code designation is kept as "Upside Down Cake". This was discovered thanks to code changes published in the project Android Open Source Project already in April last year. It's public since Androidu 10 each release known only under the assigned version number.

Q3 is a certainty
In the past years, the development phase of the system started regularly Android February. This has been followed for several years and we do not expect it to u Androidu 14 should have changed. It is this that acts as the earliest "introduction" point for the system Android 14, which is intended exclusively for application and software developers. However, this early stage is also often full of mistakes. But eligible Pixel phones should be able to Android 14 Developer Preview sideload sometime around the end of February.
Lock screen in One UI 5.0
As for the public beta version, Google u Androidfor 12 and 13, she preferred a slightly longer test phase. This usually started in April, with up to four beta versions preceding the stable release. Of course, no one but the owners of Google's Pixel phones will get it. "Platform Stability" is then typically the point at which Google has finalized all APIs and expected system behavior before its live release. This moment can vary from version to version, but often occurs around the third beta version of the system.
Android 12 was released a little later than expected, not until October 2021. Android 13, on the other hand, was already released for Pixel devices in August 2022, although everything indicated that it would come more in September. Without a crystal ball in this regard, it is difficult to judge how Google will decide, and it is so diametrically opposed to, for example, Apple, which new iOS always releases with new iPhones, i.e. in September. But it is a fact that the 3rd quarter of this year is for release Androidat 14 almost certainly.

Soon after, Samsung will start working on its One UI 6, which will go over Androidem 14. It will make beta versions available for selected phones, and after a month or so it will start a round of updates for supported phones and tablets. He will surely get his turn first Galaxy S and Z before going to the middle row in the form of a device Galaxy A. After the situation from last year, it is evident that she will be done by Christmas, when she should be the first Android 13 receive a row Galaxy S23.

We don't know much about the news
That is, if Google does not make some extensive changes in the system, which is not very expected. At the moment, it still looks like we'll only see minor tweaks and improvements. In the very foreground Android14 will mainly include changes under the hood and improvements to the basic functions of Dynamic Color and Material You. Although about what you Google for Android 14 is preparing, we don't know much yet, the company itself has already inadvertently confirmed something to us in the past months.
First of all, we should expect support for satellite communication (at least the emergency one) and a certain expansion of predictive gestures. We will certainly learn more not only after the release of the Developer Preview, but also after the official announcement of the system, which will take place in May at the Google I/O event.
