If you’ve got a Samsung Galaxy S24 in your hand, then it’s time to start checking the software update page again, as it appears the much-delayed One UI 7 update has restarted in South Korea. It means there’s a strong chance it will also be sent out to global Galaxy S24-series phones in the near future. Samsung phone owners will be aware of how much hassle the One UI 7 update has been for the brand’s top 2024 smartphones.
Not only has it been a long-time coming — One UI 7 arrived with the Galaxy S25 in January — but when it did eventually arrive last week, a serious flaw related to locking and unlocking the phone was discovered and the update was abruptly stopped . However, a new version of One UI 7 has now been spotted in South Korea, and the update has apparently been restarted according to Tarun Vats on X , a known source of Samsung information. Samsung has not shared official information on the One UI 7 update at this time, and it did not amend its official Newsroom story about One UI 7’s global rollout beginning on April 7 after the update was paused.
Digital Trends managed to download and install the One UI 7 update on a Galaxy S24 Ultra before the problem was spotted, but had no problem locking or unlocking the phone. The update is otherwise a success, bringing plenty of new features and design updates to the software, and although the launch has been frustrating, it’s worth the wait. What if you downloaded One UI 7 on your S24, like we did? At the time of writing there are no further software updates waiting on our Galaxy S24 Ultra, but we expect a new version with alterations to fix the problems discovered before to arrive in the near future.
It’s easy to manually check for a software update on your phone. Open the Settings app, scroll down the list until you find the Software Update option, tap it and select Download and Install . If there’s an update waiting, follow the instructions on how to install it.
If there’s no update waiting, more patience will be required, something Galaxy S24 owners are getting used to..
