Samsung Halts Global Rollout of One UI 7 Update Due to Serious Bug – What You Need to Know

Seoul, South Korea – Samsung recently paused the global rollout of its much-anticipated One UI 7 update for the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6. This decision came after the Android 15-based build encountered a “serious bug,” halting the update process worldwide. The news was confirmed by prominent Samsung leaker Ice Universe, with discussions about the issue emerging on Samsung’s Korean forums over the weekend.

The release of the One UI 7 update, which began last week after months of delays, seemed promising. However, reports of a critical bug found in the update prompted Samsung to halt the rollout in various countries as of April 7. The US rollout on April 10 also faced the same setback. If users have not yet received the One UI 7 update, the suspension may be the reason for the delay.

Initially, the problem seemed limited to the Exynos 2400-powered Galaxy S24 models. Tipster Tarun Vats pointed out that Samsung even removed the firmware from its OTA servers in response to the issue. However, it soon became apparent that the rollout was also paused for Snapdragon-powered Galaxy S24 variants sold in the US and other regions, as confirmed by Vats. Samsung has not officially acknowledged the problem or confirmed the suspension of the One UI 7 update, making this a developing situation.

As the situation continues to unfold, users are encouraged to stay tuned for further updates on the status of the One UI 7 update. The discovery of a critical bug has raised concerns among Galaxy device users who were eagerly anticipating the latest software upgrade. Samsung’s decision to halt the rollout globally indicates the seriousness of the issue, highlighting the importance of addressing such challenges promptly to ensure a smooth user experience.
