Samsung rolled out the One UI 6.1.1 update to its Galaxy S22 series back in September, adding new AI features and more. However, reports indicate that the update introduced several bugs too. Many Galaxy S22 users are experiencing boot looping, display stuttering, and other issues following the big feature release a few months back.
The One UI 6.1.1 update created chaos for Galaxy S22 users
Ever since Samsung rolled out the One UI 6.1.1 update, Galaxy S22 users have been reporting about various. The complaints are piling up across online platforms, including X, Reddit, and the official Samsung Community. Reported problems include stuttering, random crashes, freezing, and boot looping. Certain users claim their phones restart multiple times daily or become entirely unusable due to a continuous boot loop.
Usually, Samsung offers free service for such issues. However, in this case, many users claim otherwise. Those seeking help from its authorized service centers were reportedly informed that the issue stemmed from a faulty or fried motherboard. Since most Galaxy S22 devices are out of warranty, customers are being asked to cover the repair costs themselves, despite the update being the root cause of the issues.
The 2022 flagship faced a similar problem earlier this year following the One UI 6.1 update. However, a subsequent update resolved it. This time around, Samsung has yet to release a statement on the matter, let alone address the issues with a new update. The company has rolled out multiple security patches to the Galaxy S22 trio but the issues persist for many users.
Unsurprisingly, this has left users frustrated. It will be interesting to see how Samsung responds, or if it will respond at all. These countless complaints from users close to the Galaxy S25 launch should certainly be concerning for the company. We will let you know when we have more information on the matter. The Galaxy S25 series is set for a global launch on January 22, 2025.
