Samsung has apparently paused the release of its long-awaited One UI 7 update after discovering a bug that prevented some Galaxy S24 owners from unlocking their phones.
The pause was first reported by information leaker Ice Universe, which stated that a “serious bug” had been found. Although the complaints seemed to be coming from South Korean owners of the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung played it safe and paused the rollout of the update to all models worldwide.
Although some users have already downloaded the One UI 7 update, we have confirmed with CheckFirm that the update is no longer showing up on Samsung’s servers as the latest firmware version on some Galaxy devices, but instead older patches are appearing. Samsung has not confirmed the suspension of the update and has no plans to release a fix for users who have already downloaded the One UI 7 update. We have reached out to the company for comment.
The update, which brings Android 15 and a host of artificial intelligence updates, began rolling out to Galaxy S24, Z Fold 6, and Z Flip 6 phones on April 7, and it was available in the US on April 10. The update has been available on Galaxy S25 models, as well as cheaper Galaxy A series models, since they went on sale in February.
The rollout suspension comes after a long delay in rolling out the update to older phones. It came seven months after Android 15 became available to developers and two months after the S25 series started running the software.
