Overview

  • Samsung has paused the One UI 7 update for Galaxy S24 devices after a serious bug was discovered, delaying Android 15 rollout further.
  • The update, initially scheduled for flagship devices in April and older models in May and June, now faces additional setbacks due to the bug.
  • Google continues to outpace Samsung, seamlessly updating a record 19 Pixel devices this month, including phones, tablets, and wearables.
  • Prolonged delays leave many Samsung devices vulnerable to security risks, as Android 15 includes critical privacy and malware defenses.
  • The disruption complicates Samsung's timeline for its next major update, One UI 8 based on Android 16, expected to launch as early as July.
