The long-awaited One UI 7 update didn’t last long. After months of delays, the update was launched last week, but Samsung has already paused its rollout and pulled it from its servers. This is due to what leakers call a “serious bug,” and although Samsung itself hasn’t confirmed anything, we’re inclined to agree that it sounds pretty serious indeed.
The issue seems to affect the Samsung Galaxy S24 lineup, but as a precaution, many outlets (such as The Verge) report that Samsung appears to have pulled the firmware entirely from all models worldwide. Android Authority clarifies that the models affected include the S24 series, the Galaxy Z Fold 6, and the Galaxy Z Flip 6.
Sudden!
After the Korean Galaxy S24 series firmware was pushed, a serious bug was found, which led to the suspension of the push plan in all other countries, including China.— I’m back！ (@UniverseIce) April 14, 2025
The bug sounds awful. As reported by The Verge, upgrading to One UI 7 made some Samsung Galaxy S24 users unable to unlock their phones. If this is true, it’s no wonder that the company paused the rollout of the update.
One UI 7 has had its share of delays, but unfortunately, the bug still slipped through the cracks. The update was available in Samsung Galaxy S25 phones since launch. Meanwhile, those with other phones received it on April 7, followed by an April 10 launch in the United States.
Samsung is yet to officially acknowledge the problem or reveal whether those affected will receive a fix anytime soon, but with a bug this serious, we expect to hear more shortly.
What does this mean for you? First of all, if you are still able to download the update for any reason, it’s best to put it on hold for now. If you’ve already downloaded it, you will most likely receive a new update whenever Samsung finds a fix for this issue.

One UI 7 beta is coming to an affordable Samsung phone soon
Samsung’s One UI 7, currently limited to devices launched in 2025, will reach more devices very soon. The update Android 15-based update will start rolling out to older devices in April, starting with the Galaxy S24 series on April 10. While the initial set of phones and tablets eligible for the One UI 7 update only includes flagships, affordable phones won’t be far behind.
As Samsung prioritizes on making stable One UI 7 available on its flagship Galaxy S, Z Fold, Z Flip, and Tab S lineups, it is also likely to begin testing the update on a non-flagship phone from last year. Dedicated pages in the One UI 7 beta forums have recently gone live for Galaxy A55, indicating it might be the first in line when Samsung broadens its release.
