For Samsung, Android 15 will be a version of the system to forget. After months of delay with respect to the rest of the manufacturers, the update to One UI 7 was finally launched last week in Spain, a few days after its initial launch in South Korea. Unfortunately, the party has lasted very little.
Samsung has been forced to stop the global update process to One UI 7, and according to Korean sources shared by @Universeice and confirmed by @tarunvats33 In X, The culprit would be a “serious bug” discovered in the system. Initially the problem would have been found in the Korean version of the One UI 7 firmware for the Samsung Galaxy S24, but the company would have decided not to take risks and pause the update globally for all its devices last weekend.
One UI 7 launched last week for the Galaxy S24 range, in addition to the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 6; With this urgent decision, these devices They no longer allow download and installation of the new version of the system. Samsung also announced that 50 different models were going to receive the update throughout the months of April, May and June, but obviously those plans are now also in pause.
At the moment, Samsung has not made public statements about this pause, and therefore, it is not official that it has been caused by a ‘bug’; Nor is it clear when the update will be available again, and If it will affect the deployment in the rest of the devices with more delays. The Samsung Indian division has erased the list of models and the dates on which they were going to receive the update to Android 15, which may indicate possible additional delays.
The nature of the ‘bug’, if it really exists, is a mystery, Beyond that it is “serious” According to filtration. That could indicate a failure related to the security that can endanger the data or privacy of the users, although it could also be a failure that affects the use of the basic functionalities system.
Any of these possibilities would be surprising, taking into account that One UI 7 has gone through nothing less than six beta versions only in the Galaxy S24; That could indicate that the failure was introduced in one of the last changes made in the system before its global launch.
It is expected that Samsung will throw a new version of One UI 7 in the next few days for devices that have already been updated, in addition to a relaunch of the system for everyone.
