While things seem to be going smoothly now, this has been one of the worst software rollouts for Samsung in quite some time. The brand was slow to get it out to the public, with One UI 7 officially making its debut with the Galaxy S25 series, and then finally making its way to older devices a couple of months later.

T-Mobile, Verizon, and Boost Mobile customers have begun receiving the update. It was paused last week after some users in South Korea couldn't unlock their devices after installing it.

Samsung has resumed the rollout of its AI-driven One UI interface after a bug left some people unable to unlock their phones earlier this month. The company confirmed to CNET that it restarted the software push, but declined to provide further details about the original issue.
