After months of anticipation and delays, Samsung finally rolled out the stable One UI 7.0 update for its flagship devices, including the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Flip 6, and Galaxy Z Fold 6 last week. However, it seems that the excitement was short-lived as reports indicate that the update may not be as stable as initially believed.
Just yesterday, it was brought to light that Samsung has begun to withdraw the One UI 7.0 update in select regions, including Europe, South Korea, and the USA. This decision followed the update being halted for the Galaxy S24, leading to concerns that the update could be plagued with issues. Now, the situation has worsened as the stable update has also been taken down for the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and the Galaxy Z Fold 6, according to sources like @tarunvats33.
As of now, there has been no official statement from Samsung addressing the withdrawal of the One UI 7.0 update. This silence is troubling for users eagerly waiting to enhance their devices with the latest features and improvements. One prominent tipster, Ice Universe (@UniverseIce), claimed that Samsung had to pull the Galaxy S24's update due to the discovery of a serious bug. Consequently, the company decided to halt the release across all countries, including China, further complicating the rollout narrative.
This situation reflects poorly on Samsung, as the company has struggled to deliver a bug-free release for One UI 7.0, despite conducting extensive testing over several months in various countries. For the Galaxy S24, the company had previously released six beta updates as part of the One UI 7.0 Beta Program. Similarly, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 also underwent multiple beta iterations, yet critical bugs remain unresolved.
If the information regarding the critical bug is accurate, users may face additional delays in receiving the stable One UI 7.0 update for their eligible Galaxy smartphones and tablets. This prolonged wait is becoming increasingly frustrating for Samsung customers who have been anticipating the new features and enhancements promised with the update.
Stay tuned for further updates on Samsung’s One UI 7.0 release as we monitor the situation closely.
