Samsung pushes One UI 7 update for Galaxy S23 series to May 2025: Report

After months of stumbles, missed deadlines, and frustrated users, Samsung is once again promising a fresh wave of One UI 7 updates for its sprawling lineup of smartphones and tablets. However, after the disastrous rollout for its flagship Galaxy S24 series and latest foldables, skepticism is at an all-time high.

According to new reports from India, Samsung plans to deliver Android 15-based One UI 7 updates to the Galaxy S24, S24 Plus, S24 Ultra, Z Flip 6, and Z Fold 6 by the end of April 2025. This timeline already feels like wishful thinking given the company’s recent track record. Updates for dozens more models, including the Galaxy S23 series, Z Flip 5, Z Fold 5, and multiple Tab S10 and Tab S9 variants, are now scheduled for May.

The ambitious plan does not stop there. Samsung hopes to push One UI 7 to over three dozen mid-range devices such as the Galaxy A34 5G, A54 5G, M55 5G, and M35 5G in June. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Tab A9 has quietly slipped to a July update window, a delay that hints at deeper problems lurking beneath the surface.

This new roadmap might sound impressive on paper, but many users are not buying it. Samsung had laid out a similar schedule last year, only for the S24 series, Z Fold 6, and Z Flip 6 to suffer inexplicable delays and buggy software, leaving users in limbo for months. Now, the company is effectively asking customers to trust it again without offering any real explanation for the previous chaos.

Notably, high-end devices like the Galaxy S22 and S21 series are still listed for May. However, considering Samsung’s recent performance, hitting those targets seems increasingly unlikely. Meanwhile, mid-range handsets such as the A34, A35, and A16, originally slated for May, have already been bumped to June. This suggests a domino effect of delays is already in motion.

Samsung appears desperate to restore some credibility after months of flailing. However, lofty promises mean little without solid execution. Unless the company dramatically improves its rollout discipline, many Galaxy users could be left waiting far longer than promised for the smooth, stable software they were hoping for.
