Samsung Halts One UI 8 Rollout for Galaxy S23 Following Widespread Update Issues

Samsung has reportedly suspended the Android 16-based One UI 8 update for Galaxy S23 devices after user complaints emerged. The temporary halt follows similar pauses for Galaxy S22, S24, and mid-range models earlier this month, with battery drain appearing as a primary concern.

Update Rollback for Flagship Series

Samsung has reportedly paused the distribution of its latest One UI 8 software update for the Galaxy S23 series, according to sources familiar with the matter. This marks the latest in a series of temporary rollbacks for Samsung’s flagship devices, with the Galaxy S22, S24, and several mid-range models experiencing similar treatment earlier this month. The decision to halt the update rollout appears to stem from unidentified technical issues that emerged following deployment.
