Samsung Okay, so here’s the scoop: Samsung has finally started giving out a big new software update (called One UI 7, based on Android 15) for some of its newest phones — the Galaxy S24, S24 Plus, and S24 Ultra. Yay!
But hold up — don’t celebrate just yet… because only some people in the US are getting it right now.

Who’s Getting the Update?
Only the people who bought the unlocked versions of the S24 series phones.
“Unlocked” means the phone isn’t tied to any specific network like Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile.
If your phone is carrier-locked (aka bought from a network company), then… bad news — you’ll have to wait a bit longer.
What About Other Places?
Samsung started this update in South Korea first (of course), and then it spread to Europe.
Now, it’s finally landing in the USA, but only for those lucky unlocked phone users.
Even the Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 (those cool foldable phones) got the update in Korea and Europe at the same time as the S24. So if you have one of those in the US and it’s unlocked, keep checking your phone too!
Why So Late Though?
Good question!
Android 15 beta testing started waaaay back in April 2024. That’s like… a year ago!
Google gave it to Pixel phones in October 2024, but Samsung? They took their sweet time.
Now it’s April 2025, and only some people are getting it.
Like… hello Samsung, what’s the holdup?!
And guess what? People are already talking about One UI 8 coming out in just 3 or 4 months. So it kinda feels like Samsung is bringing pizza when everyone’s already eaten dinner.
What’s Coming Next?
Here’s Samsung’s “hopefully true” plan:
- By the end of April, more devices will get the One UI 7 update:
- Galaxy Z Fold 5 / Z Flip 5
- Galaxy Tab S10 Plus / S10 Ultra
- Galaxy S23 / S23 Plus / S23 Ultra
- Galaxy S24 FE
- In May (if things go well), even more phones and tablets will join the party:
- Galaxy Z Fold 4 / Z Flip 4
- Tab S9 series
- Galaxy S23 FE
- Galaxy Z Fold 3 / Z Flip 3
- Galaxy A34 / A35
- Galaxy S22 / S22 Plus / S22 Ultra
- Tab S8 series
- Galaxy S21 / S21 Plus / S21 Ultra
- Galaxy A16
But hey, don’t take that as a promise. Samsung has changed its plans more times than we change our WhatsApp DPs
Final Thoughts
If you’ve got one of these fancy phones and it’s unlocked — great! Keep your Wi-Fi on and eyes peeled for an update notification. If not… well, join the rest of us in the waiting room. Let’s hope Samsung speeds things up next time and doesn’t act like they’re still on a lunch break from last year.
