Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra owners in the USA are in for an outstanding weekend surprise. Samsung has officially started to roll out the One UI 7 (Android 15) update for the Galaxy S23 lineup across the United States. This unexpected release comes ahead of the anticipated May rollout for other markets, excluding Korea, where the update had already been launched.
The initial update rollout appears to be primarily focused on the Galaxy S23 series devices sold through smaller carriers such as US Cellular and Xfinity Mobile. This indicates that users on these networks may experience the new features and improvements of One UI 7 before their counterparts on major carriers. Enthusiasts are hopeful that larger carriers will soon follow suit, and that Samsung will extend the update to unlocked Galaxy S23 devices in the near future. However, it’s important to note that the weekend may slow down the update process.
If you own a Galaxy S23, S23+, or S23 Ultra, you can easily check if the update is available for your device. Simply navigate to your phone's Settings, select Software update, and tap the Download and install button. This will prompt your device to check for the latest firmware updates, including the eagerly awaited One UI 7.
For those who are interested, the One UI 7 firmware for the Galaxy S23 series is also accessible in the SamMobile firmware archive. This resource allows users to explore update options and enhancements that come with the new version.
It’s worth mentioning that the Galaxy S23 FE (Fan Edition) is not receiving the One UI 7 update alongside the other models in the series. Owners of the S23 FE will need to remain patient, as it is currently scheduled to receive the update in May, even in Korea. Thus, fans of the Fan Edition model may need to wait a bit longer to enjoy the new features introduced in One UI 7.
In conclusion, the rollout of the One UI 7 (Android 15) update for the Galaxy S23 series marks an exciting development for users in the USA. As more carriers join the update rollout and Samsung addresses the S23 FE's update schedule, users can look forward to enhanced features and a refreshed user experience.
