One UI 7 for Galaxy S23: Update Delay Sparks Frustration, Again

If you thought April 22 was the day your Galaxy S23 would finally get One UI 7, well… it’s probably not happening. That date came from a quiet update on Telus’s support page. Now it’s just gone—scrubbed from the site without a word and this doesn’t look good for all those out there who wanted to see their phones get the latest UI in their hands.

This isn’t the first time Samsung’s software updates have played the disappearing act.

Originally, the company was expected to roll out One UI 7—based on Android 15—to the Galaxy S23 lineup sometime this month. That includes the S23, S23+, S23 Ultra, and S23 FE.Telus listing April 22 briefly added credibility to that timeline. But here we are again: back in limbo.

What’s the holdup this time? The S24 series had its update pulled recently because of a bug that broke the phone unlock process. That mostly hit Exynos-powered devices, and yeah—it was bad enough for Samsung to pause everything. You can bet they don’t want to risk another mess with the S23.

And to be fair, the S23 only joined the beta in March. So maybe it was a little optimistic to think the stable version would drop this soon.

So what now?

There’s still a shot we’ll see the update roll out to the main S23 models—S23, S23+, and Ultra—before the end of April. But if you’ve got an S23 FE, brace for May. That’s the window Samsung seems to be aiming for with FE variants.

Honestly? If they need more time to get it right, take the time. No one wants another buggy release. In the meantime, check your update settings once in a while. Then try to forget about it. That way, when it finally does show up, it’ll feel like a nice surprise.
