Samsung’s highly anticipated One UI 7.0 stable release seems to have hit another snag. After initially announcing specific release dates for various markets, the tech giant has now backtracked, removing key information from its US Newsroom portal and issuing a vaguer timeline in Australia.
On March 18, Samsung confidently revealed through multiple Newsroom portals that One UI 7.0 would roll out to select Galaxy flagships on April 7, 10, and 14, depending on the region. This unusual move of announcing exact dates raised hopes among users eager for the latest software features. Fans were excited to see what enhancements and performance boosts the update would bring to their devices.
However, in a surprising turn of events, Samsung has quietly removed the release date post from its USA Newsroom portal. While the original announcements remain intact in other regions, this action has sparked concerns about a possible delay in the US market. Adding to the confusion, a new announcement on the Australia Newsroom portal now states that the official rollout “will start from April,” without specifying an exact date. This shift has left many scratching their heads.

These changes suggest that Samsung may no longer be confident in its initial release schedule, particularly for the US market. The company, known for its cautious approach to firmware update announcements, might be facing unforeseen setbacks. The removal of the US release date and the shift to a more ambiguous timeline in Australia indicate that the April 7 rollout might not be feasible in all regions. It’s a puzzling move from a brand that usually plays it safe.
According to a report by SamMobile, which first highlighted these discrepancies, Samsung’s actions are unusual and raise questions about the company’s internal processes. The tech news outlet noted that while most original announcements remain, the specific removal of the US post and the change in tone for Australia point to potential delays.
As of now, the exact release date for One UI 7.0 remains unclear, especially for US users. Samsung’s mixed signals suggest that the update might still arrive in April, but the specific day could vary by market.
