đźš« Samsung Temporarily Suspends One UI 7 Rollout for Galaxy S24 Over User Experience Concerns
Samsung has temporarily paused the rollout of its anticipated One UI 7 update for the Galaxy S24 series, following user reports highlighting critical functionality issues. The update, which was built on Android 15, had been eagerly awaited for its performance enhancements and new customization features—but early adopters ran into unexpected problems.
⚠️ Key Problem: Unlock Failures and System Instability
Several users across different regions reported that their devices became unresponsive or stuck at the lock screen after updating to One UI 7. Some instances involved biometric authentication glitches, while others reported freezing during PIN entry or reboot loops.
In certain cases, factory resets were required to regain access to the device, raising concerns over data safety and reliability of the update. Samsung, known for its cautious and staged rollouts, acted quickly to halt distribution to prevent further impact.
đź”’ Privacy and Security Implications
Beyond performance bugs, a minor but significant glitch in the Secure Folder feature raised red flags. Media files that were supposed to remain private were occasionally showing up in the main gallery, violating user privacy settings. Though the bug didn’t affect all users, it was enough for Samsung to treat the issue as a top priority.
🛠️ Samsung’s Response and What’s Next
Samsung has not issued an official timeline for the re-release of One UI 7. However, internal teams are reportedly working on a revised version of the firmware, with a focus on fixing stability issues and reinforcing privacy features.
In the meantime, users are advised to remain on One UI 6.1 and avoid sideloading the update via third-party sources. Those who have already installed One UI 7 and are experiencing issues are encouraged to reach out to Samsung’s customer support or visit a service center for troubleshooting.
đź’¬ Community Reaction
The tech community has shown mixed reactions. While some appreciate Samsung’s quick move to pause the rollout and address bugs proactively, others are frustrated with what they see as rushed testing or QA oversights, especially on flagship devices like the Galaxy S24.
