After the latest one UI 7 issue, I can’t recommend the Samsung phone

Immediately after updating the Galaxy S33 owners in an UI 7, many people saw that some things were missing. Log video support, motion photo, AI audio ezer, photo-direct wallpaper, and AI-powered health insights in Samsung Health-Galaxy S25 Series all the basic features of an UI 7-there are nowhere in the Galaxy S33 hand sets in software.

The most harmful thing is that at least one S23 Ultra owner has achieved all these features to work on his phone without any hassle. So, what does it give? Is it a mistake by Samsung? A simple monitor that will be corrected? Or, is the company deliberately preventing these features for new devices?

We are not yet fully convinced, but I know one thing. The more Samsung rotates one of his UI 7 rollout, the less inclined to recommend his phone forward.

I have just written about an UI 7 dirty rollout a few times, and with every article I publish about it, in my view, “Of course, this must be the last time when Samsung is messed up.” However, the company has proved me permanently wrong.

The story of how we arrived here is already well in the documentary, but the summary is: Samsung’s One UI7 Rollout We have seen in the history of modern Android. Samsung took the rollout of Android 15 after six months in Pixel phones before Samsung finally started sending a UI 7 to the Galaxy S24 series and the Galaxy Z Fold 6/Z Flip 6 – and then another month was ready for an UI 7 old phone.

Moreover, he was filled with six months of delay and delayed after poor communication. And when Samsung finally started a public rollout of an UI 7, the update had to be temporarily drawn due to insects. The whole thing was as anxious as it gets.

And now, here we are again. Immediately after a UI 7 started landing on the old hardware, we learn that this is not the refreshment we were expecting. It’s still an UI 7, but it contains a long list of some important features. The features we can tell are able to run (at least some) on the phones that they are being stopped.

It is normal for companies to restrict some software features to more advanced smartphones. Here is Samsung, Google, Apple, and every other brand. But when that happens, we expect to withdraw it prematurely. Samsung has never done anything. Combined with evidence that these features Can Playing on the old phone, the Galaxy S33 users have the right to feel fraudulent.

This is an important issue itself, but if it was the first screw up, we look at with an UI 7, it would be very easy to see the surface head. However, it has been at the top of the last months in the past months, and it has all overwhelmed that I am struggling to ignore.

At this time, considering everything happening with an UI 7 in the past few months, I think myself twice whether I am comfortable to recommend the Samsung phone right now.

First of all, the fact was that Android was publicly available for 15 months without any communication by Samsung when his phone would be updated. When an UI 7 was finally available, Samsung had to press and stop the rollout. Now, with one of the old devices to get a UI 7, users are finding out that some of their features that they think are not there are not there.

Samsung’s smartphone has a lot to like about hardware, and overall a UI 7 is a really strong update – one of my favorite pieces of Samsung software over the years. But when Samsung is apparently unable to get an UI 7 in people’s hands, with both time and their features, you have enough to say that enough.

These things make a difference. How Samsung treats you and supports your $ 1,000+ smartphone issues. Whatever happened to a UI 7 has felt it is like being contradictory to Samsung, and this latest problem of preventing phones from preventing the features that is only two years old – the phone that is able to handle these features – reinforces this feeling.

When this is the case, I find it difficult to see why I should recommend the Galaxy S25 ultra on a plus 13 or Pixel 9 Pro. If you are shopping for a phone right now and looking at Samsung, all of them should be paused. This does not mean that you should not re -consider the Samsung handset or buy it, but, at least now, may be better to keep an eye on the company.
