Samsung Pulls the Plug on One UI 7 Update!

In a stunning turn of events, Samsung has announced the suspension of its eagerly anticipated One UI 7 update for devices globally. What seemed to be a triumphant rollout has quickly soured due to serious issues.

What Happened?

Initially launched last week after months of delays, the Android 15-based update was made available for the Galaxy S24 series and the popular Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. However, reports of a "serious bug" related to unlocking devices have thrown a wrench in the rollout plans.

The news broke from renowned Samsung leaker Ice Universe, who highlighted discussions on the company's Korean forums. After the update began rolling out on April 7, users in South Korea quickly reported difficulties accessing their phones, prompting Samsung to immediately halt the update.

Impact of the Halting Rollout

The issue seems extensive, affecting not just the Exynos 2400-powered Galaxy S24 models but also the Snapdragon variants sold in the US and other markets. Samsung has responded by removing the firmware from its OTA servers, leaving many potential updaters anxiously awaiting any word.

Concern is spreading among users that this suspension might also delay updates for older models, including the Galaxy S23 series.

What’s Next for Users?

If you’ve already installed the One UI 7 on your Galaxy devices, prepare for potential patch updates as Samsung strives to remedy these unforeseen issues. Meanwhile, the tech world watches closely for updates from Samsung regarding this ongoing situation.
