Earlier this week, Samsung announced that the rollout of One UI 7 would officially begin on April 7. And in the US, it would start in earnest on April 10. However, it now seems like that might have changed, already.
SamMobile noticed that the US website for Samsung’s Newsroom, has been scrubbed of that release date. And the original page is now throwing a “404” error. Samsung seems to have taken down, at least made private the press release announcing the dates. However, the interesting thing here is that this only applies to the US. The information is still available on Samsung Newsroom in other markets including Korea, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Malaysia, Singapore, Belgium and more.
This does look like yet another delay for One UI 7, however since this is just a single market right now, we’re going to wait and see what’s actually going on. If this was the case across all of Samsung’s markets, then it might be cause for concern.
One UI 7 has proven to be trouble for Samsung
One UI 7 which is based on Android 15, is a pretty big update for Samsung and its devices. Complete with new animations, new icons, and it’s also much smoother than older versions of One UI. However, it’s proving to be quite the issue for Samsung. Typically, Samsung is able to push out their update within a month or two of Google pushing it to the Pixel. However, we are now looking at mid-late April before it even starts to roll out to the first devices. That’s not common for Samsung.
To put even more salt in the wounds, most Chinese OEMs have even released their Android 15 update. And they are notorious for being extremely slow, if they even release the update.
So this begs the question, what’s going on with Samsung? While we don’t know specifically, it does seem like there are some bugs that Samsung is still trying to squash on One UI 7. Hopefully, this isn’t a huge delay, as Samsung users have already waited long enough.
