When Samsung began rolling out One UI 8 for some devices, we expected the Android 16-based update to be faster and smoother than the messy rollout of One UI 7.0. However, some issues have appeared, and Samsung is slowing down the update for certain smartphones. The One UI 7.0 rollout took a long time to reach all supported devices. It’s unclear if One UI 8.0 will face the same delays, but more devices are already being held back in the update. Today, the brand is pausing the rollout for the Samsung Galaxy S23 series.
Samsung Galaxy S23 Series Android 16-based One UI 8.0 Rollout is Now Paused
Samsung’s 2023 flagship devices started to receive their Android 16-based update in late September, around three weeks ago. If the owners of such devices weren’t expecting a smooth rollout, now it seems that things won’t be so easy.
The rollout is now paused, and the reason is not clear. Samsung has not said when the update will start again. If you own a phone in this series, you may have to wait longer than expected.
The company is staying quiet for now. So far, there are no reports of serious issues for those who have already installed the update. Still, this pause is likely not random. Samsung probably found something in the software that needed fixing right away. The fix could not wait for a smaller update later, so the rollout was paused and will continue once it is ready.
One UI 8.0 is One Step Before the Final Update
Hopefully, this pause won’t last long, and the rollout can resume soon. The Samsung Galaxy S23 series is set to receive four major Android updates and five years of security patches. The devices will get the One UI 8.0 update and will reach the end of support when Android 17 arrives next year. Following Samsung’s usual pattern, the next OS will be called One UI 9.0 and will likely be the last major update for these devices.
