Tecno Android 14 Release Date

• Tecno Android 14 will be released in Q3 2023 or later.

Unlike its sister company, Infinix, Tecno has been actively participating in providing users with the latest beta software as soon as possible. Last year, Tecno was one of the first OEMs to participate in the Android 13 Beta program with its Camon 19 Pro. Tecno continues the tradition this year by participating in the Android 14 Beta program.

Tecno is currently testing the Android 14 Beta on its latest Camon 20 series. That means if you have a Camon 20 phone, you can go ahead and test out the latest Android 14 software immediately!

As for the other smartphones, Tecno isn’t very open about that. Tecno has always been lacking when it comes to providing stable Android updates. Plus, not many smartphones are supported. Currently, there is no official information so it is too early to comment. As for the release date, we can expect Tecno to release the update around Q3 2023 or later.
