S23 One UI 7 update - please post all queries and thoughts in here

[Vege1101]

I am in the UK and have been eagerly anticipating this update for years. I have a few questions. First, why is Samsung unable to release the update for all devices? Second, why haven't I received the update yet? It has been four days, and I am still waiting. Finally, if I do not receive the update today, when can I expect it for my S23? I would be grateful for any assistance. If you have the official UK release date for the S23, please share a picture and answer my questions. Thank you!

I updated my s24 ultra absolutely no problems battery life is now sitting at about 11 hours screen on time brilliant 👏

That source isn't reliable plus it doesn't make sense, since samsung always release major updates for a single phone series (excluding FE variants) at the same time, so saying april for the base S23 and may for S23 ultra is weird and highly unlikely.

After getting fed up I've taken the dive and have decided to just upgrade to buy the s25 ultra 😅

Congratulations on buying what I consider the best all round device on the market.
Really hope you will enjoy your experience.

buddy android 15 has been out for 6 months, and android 16 stable is almost ready for the pixel phones.

I understand they will be slower than Google for obvious reasons but 6 months behind is ridiculous. looks like s23 series has been delayed to May as well

I am recommending everyone to get the oneplus 13 if they need a new phone this year, both 1+ and xiaomi are the only ones innovating now, sammy have fallen down the apple path now

Thats up to personal preference, but I dont blame samsung even tho it's frustrating the reason they took soo long on this update if because they had alot of catching up to do, hopefully it'll be the last delay since One UI 8 is already in the works and getting ready for official confirmation on track with the normal Android phones

I'm well aware of that, I use a Samsung device so am in the same position.

My comment was directly in response to why they can't follow the way Apple work. Nothing more, nothing less.
