Samsung fixes One UI 7 bug and resumes update rollout

In South Korea, Samsung's long-awaited One UI 7 update faced significant delays leading to widespread criticism regarding its release schedule. The upgrade rollout had initially slipped behind competitors like Google’s Pixel devices and other manufacturers, causing frustration among Samsung users. Following a brief pause due to a serious bug that arose shortly after the update's release, the company quickly worked to address the technical issues. On April 15, 2025, Samsung announced that the One UI 7 rollout would officially resume for Galaxy S24 users, effectively addressing the hiccup that slowed the upgrade. However, the updates for older flagship models are still lagging behind expectations, thereby highlighting logistical challenges the company is facing in ensuring a seamless user experience. This incident has drawn attention to Samsung's quality control processes, as the tech giant had conducted substantial testing prior to release but still encountered critical bugs affecting the Oner UI 7 experience. Letting users down in this manner reflects poorly on the company's ability to manage software releases and maintain user trust. As a follow-up to this latest setback, the focus now shifts to ensuring that the timeline for the Android 16 and One UI 8 updates, which are expected to arrive soon after, will run smoother.
