Key Points:
- Samsung delays the Galaxy S24’s One UI 6.1.1 update.
- The update includes camera enhancements, but the rollout is postponed.
- Users need to wait for the refined software release.
Samsung planned to release a new One UI 6.1.1-based update for the Galaxy S24 in August. However, the update has been delayed unexpectedly. Yesterday, Samsung started sending out the latest security patch, but it seems the main firmware update has been put on hold.
Recently, there were reports that Samsung was working on improving the camera for the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The development and testing of this update are not yet complete, causing a delay in its release.
According to IceUniverse, the August firmware update, which includes One UI 6.1.1 features and camera improvements, was ready for rollout. However, the reason for the delay is still unknown.
Samsung’s latest foldable phones launched with the Android 14-based One UI 6.1.1. Galaxy S24 users will have to wait a bit longer for their update, but Samsung is likely ensuring that the new firmware is polished and reliable.
The update will bring features first seen in the Galaxy Z Fold 6, along with various improvements for the Galaxy S24. Users will need to be patient for a better experience.
One UI 7 Beta Also Delayed
The One UI 7 Beta is also on hold due to bugs and issues. Samsung is already dealing with quality problems with the new Galaxy Watch and Buds. To avoid more issues, they are being cautious with releasing any firmware that could cause problems.
Samsung aims to keep its lead in the Android market, competing against Apple. It’s better to delay the update briefly than to release a buggy Beta version.
