Overview

  • Samsung has globally paused the rollout of its Android 15-based One UI 7 update after a serious bug was discovered in Galaxy S24 devices.
  • The bug, reported by South Korean users, locks some Galaxy S24 phones, making them inaccessible; it affects both Exynos and Snapdragon variants.
  • Samsung has removed the One UI 7 firmware from its servers to prevent further installations while investigating a fix for the issue.
  • The update, already months behind schedule, was intended to introduce AI-powered features and interface refinements but now faces further delays.
  • Samsung has yet to announce when the rollout will resume but is reportedly accelerating development of One UI 8 based on Android 16.
