We have rarely seen a situation as strange as that Samsung is living with the update to Android 15. The company had its malacostrated users to be among the first to receive the new version of the operating system, so the delay of six months with respect to the rest of brands with Android 15 has been a surprise; as has been the problem that has caused the urgent withdrawal of One UI 7.
Last week, Samsung finally launched One UI 7 based on Android 15, first for the Galaxy S24 and the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6; But the update was available only a few days in Spain, because when the weekend arrived, the company withdrew it and since then it can no longer be downloaded or installed. Yesterday, Samsung officially confirmed the pause of One UI 7, but without giving more details about it beyond “guaranteeing the best possible experience.”
Fortunately, today we may finally give good news about One UI 7. The same sources that first leaked the withdrawal of the update now claim that One UI 7 will be available today, April 15. Galaxy S24 users will be the first to access the “very soon” update in the words of @Univesex in x. The new version of One UI 7 will be available for both users who have already updated, and for those who had not yet downloaded the update.
If confirmed, that will mean that the update barely have been inaccessible for a few daysa much better result than initially feared. It also assumes that the rest of Samsung smartphones and tablets should receive the update within the initially estimated period; There are delays, but not many. The situation with the models that have not yet been updated is different from those that have already received the update.
The same sources have also revealed The “serious bug” that would have forced Samsung to make the difficult decision of withdrawing One UI 7. In its day it was elucidated that the BUG would have to affect an important part of the operating system, either to the safety or basic operation of the smartphone, so that its withdrawal was so imperative, and now that seems to have been confirmed.

According to filtration, a bug discovered in One UI 7 for the Galaxy S24 caused that The mobile could not normally unlock. Users found that the lock screen did not respond to their actions and could not enter the home screen and use the device normally. Therefore, it was a severe bug that affected the basic operation of the system, and Samsung had no choice but to start the withdrawal of the system before the problem affected more users; A rapid reaction that has probably saved millions of people from a bad drink.
Without more information, it is difficult to say whether the solution to the BUG has been simple, or if Samsung engineers have had to work during these days to find it. Interestingly, one of the great novelties of One UI 7 has to do precisely with the lock screen; The Now Bar is a new section that is capable of showing information in a contextual wayfrom the music that is being reproduced to show the summary of the morning news or notices of the maps app of possible jams and delays.
