For those holding a Samsung Galaxy S24, it’s worth revisiting the software update section as the long-awaited One UI 7 update has resumed its rollout in South Korea. This development suggests that the update could soon reach Galaxy S24 models globally.
Samsung users have experienced significant delays with the One UI 7 update for their flagship 2024 smartphones. After its initial release with the Galaxy S25 in January, the update faced issues, notably a severe glitch affecting phone locking and unlocking, which led to a halt in its distribution.
However, a new iteration of One UI 7 has been detected in South Korea, indicating that the rollout has resumed, as reported by Tarun Vats on X, a reliable source for Samsung updates. Official confirmations or adjustments regarding the global rollout timeline have not yet been made by Samsung.
Before the earlier issues were identified, Digital Trends successfully downloaded and installed One UI 7 on a Galaxy S24 Ultra without encountering the locking problem. The update has proven effective overall, introducing numerous new features and design tweaks that, despite the rocky launch, make the wait worthwhile.
If you’ve already installed One UI 7 on your S24, you might be wondering about new updates. As of now, no additional software updates are pending for the Galaxy S24 Ultra. However, a new version addressing previous issues is expected to be released soon. To check for updates manually, navigate to the Settings app, find Software Update, and select Download and Install. Should an update be available, simply follow the instructions to complete the installation.
If there are no updates available, patience will be necessary—something Galaxy S24 owners are already becoming accustomed to.
