TL;DR
- Distribution of One UI 8 to the Galaxy S23 series has reportedly paused weeks after it first began.
- The S23 follows the S22 and S24 in having a bumpy One UI 8 rollout.
- Samsung hasn’t shared when we should expect the update to resume.
Samsung’s in the process of rolling out the Android 16-based One UI 8 across its wide range of compatible phones. The update started hitting the Galaxy S23 just a couple of weeks ago — but now, Samsung has halted that distribution.
As reported by SammyGuru, Galaxy S23 phones aren’t currently able to download One UI 8. The S23 series is just the latest to have its One UI 8 rollout stopped: The S24 and S22 series both had the plug pulled on their respective rollouts, too (though SammyGuru says the S22’s update is “partially resumed”).
