I think it’s safe to say that the way Samsung handled One UI 7 is one of the biggest blunders in the company’s most recent history. Although One UI 8 is expected to debut in just a few months with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, Samsung is still struggling to deliver One UI 7 based on Android 15.After multiple delays, Samsung finally kicked off the One UI 7 rollout on April 7, but US customers had to wait three more days to receive the update. Over the weekend, Samsung announced that it had to halt the rollout of the update due to a major issue it did not find during testing.
Thankfully, the South Korean company was able to fix the issue and is now ready to resume the One UI 7 rollout. Although it didn’t say when it will happen, a Samsung rep confirmed on the Korean community forums that the issue has been addressed, and we should expect the rollout to begin once again very soon.
Samsung Electronics had been rolling out the One UI 7 update for models such as the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold6, and Galaxy Z Flip6 since the 7th of this month, but temporarily suspended the update due to some issues requiring maintenance. Samsung Electronics has completed its inspection and will resume updates soon. We apologize to our customers for any inconvenience caused.

If you don’t own a Galaxy S24 or Galaxy Z Fold 6 / Galaxy Z Flip 6, you’ll have to wait until May or even June, depending on what Galaxy device you’re rocking as your daily driver.
By the time the One UI 7 rollout is complete, Samsung is expected to release the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 6which will ship with One UI 8. It will be interesting to see how long it will take Samsung to provide the new update to those who waited so long for One UI 7; probably a few months based on what happened with the latest major OS update.
