Samsung is currently facing significant challenges with its latest software release, the One UI 8 update. Recently, the company had to retract this update for the Galaxy S22 series merely a week after it was made available. In a surprising turn of events, Samsung has also opted to remove the One UI 8 firmware for the Galaxy S24 lineup, which includes the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra, from its servers.
At present, the suspension of the One UI 8 update seems to be limited to South Korea. However, it remains uncertain whether Samsung will extend this action to other global markets. Notably, South Korea is the only region where the company has not resumed the rollout of the update for any model in the Galaxy S22 series following its initial withdrawal. In other countries, only the Galaxy S22 Ultra is still awaiting the resumed update.
The Galaxy S24 series received the One UI 8 update nearly a month ago, raising questions about the delay in Samsung's recognition of the issues that led to this unexpected halt. By this point, most owners of the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra have already upgraded to the latest version of Android along with One UI 8.
Fortunately, reports from users indicate that no major problems have surfaced thus far following the update, which may alleviate concerns for many. Nonetheless, it is essential to understand the reasons behind Samsung's abrupt decision to pause the One UI 8 rollout. The tech community is eagerly awaiting updates, and we will keep you informed as new information becomes available.
In a related development, Samsung has also pulled the One UI 8 firmware for the Galaxy S24 FE, adding to the series of updates that have been suspended. As Samsung navigates this situation, users are encouraged to stay updated for the latest news regarding the One UI 8 rollout and any potential fixes.
