Samsung has hit the brakes on the global rollout of its highly anticipated One UI 7 update, based on Android 15, just days after its launch. Initially released for the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6 starting April 7, the update’s expansion has now been halted after the discovery of a major bug. It has left users waiting again as the company works to fix the issue and resume the rollout.
The bug prevents the user from unlocking the device
The suspension was first flagged by prominent leaker Ice Universe, with further discussions emerging on Samsung’s Korean forums over the weekend. The update, which began rolling out internationally on April 7 and reached the US on April 10, appears to have encountered issues, prompting Samsung to halt the rollout.
If you haven’t received the update yet, this unexpected stop could explain the delay. Samsung has not officially confirmed the halt or detailed the bug as of writing. Early reports suggested the problem was tied to Exynos 2400-powered Galaxy S24 models, with firmware even pulled from OTA servers. But more recent insights indicate the issue extends to Snapdragon-powered S24 variants in the US and beyond.
The nature of the “serious bug” remains unclear, fueling speculation and concern among users. This development raises worries about the ripple effect on the One UI 7 rollout for older devices like the Galaxy S23 series, potentially pushing back their update schedules.
Samsung’s silence adds to the uncertainty, as the company typically moves swiftly to address such issues. Galaxy users eager to experience the new features and performance boosts of One UI 7 will need to exercise patience while Samsung works to resolve the problem. We’re waiting for an official statement, as this pause could reshape the timeline for one of Samsung’s biggest software updates this year.
