Galaxy S24 series in the global markets. The company began rolling out the Android 15-based OS in South Korea last week, following it up with a US release on April 10.

Although the initial social media post did not delve into details about the issue, a subsequent X post by the same tipster highlighted that the many s in South Korea have reported the inability to unlock their Galaxy smartphones following the One UI 7 update. The handsets running on the Android 15-based operating system (OS) “could not be unlocked normally in some cases”.

The South Korean tech conglomerate is said to have taken a note of this issue and reviewed the update's withdrawal in other regions. We're yet to hear if Samsung s in the US are also experiencing similar unlocking issues with their Galaxy S24 phones. Another tipster suggests that the company initially pulled the One UI 7 update in the EU and South Korea, and followed it up by its withdrawal in the US.

With One UI 7's rollout in South Korea, Samsung revealed that it would be introduced with the Galaxy S24 series, which comprises three models. Samsung's flagship foldable smartphones — the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 6 — were also said to be part of the initial batch of devices receiving the Android 15-based update. However, it remains unknown if other devices, apart from the Galaxy S24 models, have also encountered the bug.
