US users should get the update in the next week because carriers across the pond have a little less competition or reason to be nice to customers.

Android 14 came out for Google's Pixel phones on 4 October  so it only took Samsung a month. Normally it takes several months. 

It is unclear if this is possible due to Google's constant work to make Android easier to upgrade or just a side effect of Android 14 also being one of the smaller releases in recent years.

Android 14 on Samsung gear is called "One UI 6" and also comes with a range of Samsung UI changes. Apparently, the quick settings have been redesigned, and there are a lot of changes to the camera and photo editing experience.

The first release is for users of Samsung's latest flagship, but eventually, the update will hit devices from the last three years. For S23 users on Android 13, expect about a 3GB download.
