Samsung fans are getting restless. While other brands are already preparing for Android 16, Samsung is still fine-tuning One UI 7 and it’s taking forever. If you’re still rocking a Galaxy S22 or S23, you’ve probably been wondering: Where’s my update?
Turns out, the Galaxy S25 might be to blame.
What’s Going On With the Galaxy S25?
When Samsung launched the Galaxy S25, people expected a smooth, polished experience. Instead, the phone’s software has been kind of… rough. Users on Reddit and tech forums have been reporting all kinds of UI bugs and app issues.
Why Is One UI 7 Taking So Long?
Samsung usually moves fast with updates, so what’s the holdup? Well, they don’t want to rush a buggy update.
Unlike Google, which only has to update Pixel phones, Samsung has a huge lineup to manage. They have to make sure One UI 7 works across different models, processors, and features which is a much bigger challenge.
And right now, they’re still fixing the Galaxy S25’s problems. That means older flagships, like the S22 and S23, are stuck waiting.
So… When Will Older Samsung Phones Get One UI 7?
If you’re using a Galaxy S22 or S23, brace yourself: you probably won’t get the update until May 2025. Yeah, that’s months later than expected.
Meanwhile, other brands like OnePlus and Google are already prepping for Android 16. So it’s understandable if Samsung users feel like they’re falling behind.
Samsung Wants to Get It Right But Is the Wait Worth It?
Look, nobody likes waiting. And if you’re frustrated, you’re not alone. The delay sucks, especially when other brands are moving forward.But here’s the thing: a rushed, buggy update would be worse. If Samsung takes its time and actually fixes these One UI 7 issues, it’ll be worth the wait.
