Samsung’s Android 15 update has been halted

When asked about specifics, Samsung doesn’t have much to say. “The One UI 7 rollout schedule is being updated to ensure the best possible experience. The new timing and availability will be shared shortly,” the company said.

One UI 7 is based on Android 15, which is the latest version of the OS for the moment. Google plans to release the first version of Android 16 in June, which is much earlier than in previous cycles. Samsung’s current-gen Galaxy S25 family launched with One UI 7, so owners of those devices don’t need to worry about the buggy update.

Samsung is no doubt working to fix the issues and restart the update rollout. Its statement is vague about timing—”shortly” can mean many things. We’ve reached out and will report if Samsung offers any more details on the pause or when it will be over.

When One UI 7 finally arrives on everyone’s phones, the experience will be similar to what you get on the Galaxy S25 lineup. There are a handful of base Android features in the update, but it’s mostly a Samsung affair. There’s the new AI-infused Now Bar, more expansive AI writing tools, camera UI customization, and plenty of interface tweaks.
