In the meantime, Samsung started rolling out the Android 16-based software for the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus, and Galaxy S22 Ultra <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidpolice.com\/samsungs-2022-flagship-beat-2025-phones-android-16\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">earlier this month<\/a>, beating several other 2025 flagships to the punch.<\/p>\n<p>In a surprise move, Samsung has now pulled the One UI 8 update for the three phones worldwide, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/samsung-halts-one-ui-8-rollout-for-galaxy-s22-amid-possible-firmware-issue\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">SamMobile<\/a>. A possible firmware issue is cited as the reasoning behind the pause, though there&#8217;s no word from Samsung on this, at least for now.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung has already rolled out One UI 8 for several of its flagships, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidpolice.com\/samsung-galaxy-s24-a56-hop-stable-one-ui-8-train\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Galaxy S24<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidpolice.com\/samsung-galaxy-s23-joins-the-one-ui-8-party\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Galaxy S23<\/a>, as well as the company&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidpolice.com\/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-flip-6-stable-android-16-update-goes-live\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">foldables from 2024<\/a>. Keeping this in mind, it&#8217;s likely that an issue specific to the Galaxy S22 series has led to Samsung halting the update abruptly.<\/p>\n<p>                        The wait just got slightly longer<\/p>\n<p>This could understandably cause concern for Galaxy S22 owners who have already updated to One UI 8, given the potential risk of a glitch that could impact their everyday usage. For what it&#8217;s worth, SamMobile notes that there were no visible issues with the One UI 8 software on their Galaxy S22. <\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t updated your Galaxy S22 to One UI 8 yet, you will have to wait a bit longer and stick with One UI 7 for the time being. Galaxy S22 owners will hope that the wait isn&#8217;t too long, as it is expected to be the last One UI\/Android update for the Galaxy S22, based on Samsung&#8217;s update policy. <\/p>\n<p>However, as SamMobile points out, the upcoming One UI 8.5 update will also be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidpolice.com\/samsungs-one-ui-8-5-might-rewrite-the-rules-for-android-skins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">based on Android 16<\/a>. This opens the door ever so slightly for the Galaxy S22 series to also be on that list. Of course, there&#8217;s no confirmation from Samsung about bringing One UI 8.5 to the Galaxy S22 series, so this is purely speculation at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, Samsung has already fulfilled its promise of rolling out four major updates for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidpolice.com\/samsung-pushes-stable-one-ui-8-galaxy-z-fold-4-flip-4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">its 2022 flagships<\/a>, so any software upgrades that come beyond this point are a bonus for device owners.<\/p>\n<p>Are you facing any issues with One UI 8 on your Galaxy S22 so far?
