Samsung Halts Galaxy S24 One UI 8 Update After Release
▼ Summary
– Samsung has pulled the One UI 8 update for the Galaxy S22 and S24 series due to discovered bugs.
– The update removal for the Galaxy S24 lineup is currently limited to South Korea, with its availability unclear in other markets.
– South Korea is the only region where the Galaxy S22 update hasn’t resumed, while other areas only lack the S22 Ultra’s update.
– It is unusual that Samsung paused the Galaxy S24 update rollout weeks after its initial release, as most users have already updated.
– No major issues have been reported by users, but the reason for the sudden rollout halt remains unknown.
Samsung has unexpectedly halted the distribution of its One UI 8 update for the Galaxy S24 series, removing the firmware from its servers shortly after its initial release. This move follows a similar pattern observed with the Galaxy S22 lineup, where the update was also withdrawn due to emerging software issues. For the time being, this suspension appears confined to the South Korean market, leaving users in other regions uncertain about potential delays.
The decision to pull the update comes nearly a month after the Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra models began receiving the new software. It is unusual for Samsung to identify problems requiring a rollout pause so long after the initial deployment. By this point, the majority of Galaxy S24 owners have likely installed the latest Android and One UI versions, raising questions about what triggered the sudden withdrawal.
In South Korea, Samsung has not yet reinstated the One UI 8 update for any Galaxy S22 variants, whereas other markets have seen a resumed rollout, with the exception of the Galaxy S22 Ultra. This selective approach suggests the company is addressing specific, possibly device-related, complications before proceeding.
Despite the interruption, no widespread user complaints or critical malfunctions have surfaced, which may reassure customers who have already updated their devices. Samsung has not provided an official explanation for the suspension, but the company is presumably working to resolve the underlying cause. We continue to monitor the situation and will share further details as they become available.
