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.
