The final major Android version upgrade for the Galaxy A52 lineup started rolling out a few weeks ago. One UI 6.0/Android 14 was released for the Galaxy A52s first, followed by the Galaxy A52 5G and the standard Galaxy A52.
Over in the US, carrier variants of the Galaxy A52 5G were updated to One UI 6.0 last week. They are now being joined by the unlocked variant, with an update sporting firmware version A526U1UEUCFWL3 available for all unlocked Galaxy A52 units starting today.
You can download the update on your Galaxy A52 5G by opening its Settings » Software update menu and tapping Download and install. You can also download the Android 14 firmware from our archive and install it on your phone manually using a Windows PC and a USB cable.
One UI 6.0 features, improvements, and changes
The latest Android and One UI software introduces a redesigned Quick Panel layout that displays more quick settings toggles, a new default font (though you can change back to the previous one), a refreshed media player notification widget with improved album art and waveform animation support, and more style and placement options for the lock screen clock.
There are also new widgets for quick access to various camera modes, new camera watermark alignment options, two-handed drag and drop in the Gallery app, a new emoji design in Samsung Keyboard, more insights in the Weather app and a new widget, high refresh rate screen recordings, and simplified home screen icon labels. Several stock Samsung apps have been improved as well.
