After missing its originally planned release date, Samsung's Android 15 update looks set to be delayed much longer than expected, with reliable sources reporting that the release has been delayed "indefinitely".
Samsung has been working on the Android 15 update, which includes the new One UI 7 interface, for some time, and the public release was expected at the end of last month. However, that date passed without any release despite numerous leaks revealing the features of Samsung's new interface.
Some sources suggest that Samsung has delayed One UI 7 in favor of releasing the yet-to-be-released One UI 6.1.1 first. However, the situation seems to be more complicated.
Reliable sources like Ice Universe and Chun Bhai claim that Samsung has delayed the release of One UI 7, and by extension the Android 15 update, longer than first thought. Ice Universe stated that Samsung has no plans to release the beta version "in the near future", while Chun Bhai claims that the release has been "delayed indefinitely" and adds that there is "low confidence" that the update will even be released in August.
What are the reasons for this delay? While there have been mentions of bugs and technical issues with the update, a considerable part of the delay seems to be caused by the delayed release of One UI 6.1.1. It also seems that Google is also delaying the release of Android 15.
Google's upcoming Pixel 9 line is expected to launch with Android 14, and the August security update has just been rolled out for Android 14, suggesting that Android 15 won't be available until at least September.
This delay creates uncertainty among Samsung users who are looking forward to the new features and improvements brought by Android 15 and One UI 7. It remains to be seen when Samsung will be able to fix the issues and release the much-awaited update, thus giving its users the best possible experience .
