Samsung Halts Android 15 Update Rollout Due to Critical Bugs

Samsung has abruptly halted the global rollout of its One UI 7 update, based on Android 15, after discovering critical bugs just days after its initial release. Users of the Galaxy S24 series, Z Fold 6, and Z Flip 6 reported issues such as being unable to unlock their devices and vulnerabilities within the Secure Folder feature. The rollout began on April 7 in South Korea and reached the U.S. by April 10, but was suspended shortly thereafter due to the severity of the problems. Reports indicate that the issues affected both Exynos and Snapdragon versions of the Galaxy S24, raising concerns about the overall stability of the update. While Samsung has not officially confirmed the halt, sources suggest the company is working on a fix before resuming the update distribution. The delay may also impact the timeline for updates to older models like the Galaxy S23, which were expected to receive One UI 7 later this spring.
