Over the weekend, tipsters spotted that the One UI 7 rollout had been paused after a later-than-expected start last week.
Now, Samsung has provided us with a statement saying that the “schedule is being updated to ensure the best possible experience.”
Unfortunately, Samsung’s statement does not clarify why the rollout is being paused, but some sort of bug would be the most obvious explanation.

Typically, Samsung flagships from the past few years would have had the latest version of Android — Android 15 — by the end of the year that the operating system was released. However, Android 15 launched in October 2024, and here we are today with millions of Samsung phones still stuck on Android 14. This has been a very frustrating time for Samsung fans.

Thankfully, the rollout of One UI 7 (based on Android 15) started last week for a handful of flagships in the United States, including the Samsung Galaxy S24 series. However, at some point over the weekend, Samsung appeared to stop the software rollout. A few trusted leakers spotted this, but Samsung remained quiet on the topic.
