The update <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-s23-one-ui-8-global-3603464\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">started hitting the Galaxy S23<\/a> just a couple of weeks ago \u2014 but now, Samsung has halted that distribution.<\/p>\n<p>As reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/sammyguru.com\/galaxy-s23-becomes-latest-device-to-have-one-ui-8-update-paused\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">SammyGuru<\/a>, Galaxy S23 phones aren\u2019t 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\u2019s update is \u201cpartially resumed\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_Bm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_dg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_dg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Samsung hasn\u2019t given a reason for this most recent pause or the flaky One UI 8 rollout generally, but it\u2019s not unprecedented. This past spring, Samsung temporarily pulled the plug on its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/one-ui-7-update-halted-3544233\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">One UI 7 rollout<\/a> altogether a week after the update launched.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Samsung\u2019s Galaxy S-series phones, \u00a0SammyGuru notes that the Galaxy M55\u2019s One UI 8 update is temporarily on hold, and the Galaxy Z Fold SE\u2019s was briefly paused but has since resumed. Neither of those phones are available in the US.<\/p>\n<p>The trouble with One UI 8\u2019s rollout this year and One UI 7\u2019s last year doesn\u2019t instill much confidence that next year\u2019s One UI 8.5 will go off without a hitch. Here\u2019s hoping <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/one-ui-8-5-beta-update-coming-soon-3605276\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the beta that kicks off soon<\/a> sorts out most of the bugs in advance.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
