Samsung One UI 7 Update Making Some Galaxy Phones Unusable: Know More
Last Updated: Samsung's One UI 7 update has caused battery drain issues earlier and now some users are finding their phone unusable. Samsung has faced a lot of issues with the One UI 7 update in the last few months. The delays have been long, but users have finally got the new version. However, the One UI 7 update has made some devices unusable and most of the Galaxy phone users are not sure what is causing the problem. And the bigger news is that the model affected by the One UI 7 issue had launched recently and came with the new OS out of the box. People in Europe using the Galaxy A56 model have faced bootloop issues, which makes the phone unusable in the boot up process. The new One UI 7 update for these users has not given them a lot of new features but a new headache has come to their fore. The Galaxy A56 users in Europe got a new update with the May 2025 security patch recently. One of the features available with the version was the ability to long-press the side button to activate the Gemini assistant. And that's where the problem seems to have started for these users. Most of these Galaxy A56 units have been stuck in the boot mode and not starting after installing the new update, the users have mentioned the issues on Samsung community forums as well. The issue seems to be limited to the European version for now, and the other regions where the Galaxy A56 got the update have not faced the bootloop problem with their devices. So, how does one fix the issue? One user seems to have found the solution, who claims you just have to: Samsung has been slow with the Android 15-based One UI 7 rollout this year but the company is looking to amends with the Android 16 update. Reports in South Korea claim Samsung is ready to start the Android 16 beta program which will give us a closer look at the One UI 8 version. The company has already confirmed the Android 16 rollout timeline for its users and unlike the One UI 7, the new version will be rolling out by Summer 2025. First Published: May 28, 2025, 14:01 IST

Samsung Galaxy A57 Leak Hints at Exynos 1680 Chipset, Launch Likely in 2026
Just months after the debut of the Samsung Galaxy A56, the first signs of its successor, likely to be called the Samsung Galaxy A57, have emerged through a new leak. While it's still early days and a launch is not anticipated before March 2026, tech insiders have already begun speculating about what the next-generation A-series device might bring to the table. According to a recent report from GalaxyClub, the upcoming Galaxy A57 is expected to be powered by Samsung's in-house Exynos 1680 chipset. The chip, which reportedly carries the model number S5E8865 and is internally codenamed "Terra", is currently undergoing testing. Built on AMD's architecture, the Exynos 1680 is also said to include the Xclipse 550 GPU, which is tipped to deliver superior performance over the Xclipse 540 GPU found in the Exynos 1580 powering the current Galaxy A56. However, while these early specifications sound promising, it's still too early to gauge what kind of real-world performance improvements the Exynos 1680 might deliver. Beyond this initial leak, there's little confirmed information available about the Galaxy A57, and we'll likely have to wait until next year to hear more concrete details about Samsung's next A-series offering. For now, Samsung's attention remains firmly on its existing mid-range flagship, the Galaxy A56, which is currently the top-tier device in the Galaxy A series. Ever since Samsung retired the A7x line, the A5x series has taken centre stage in the brand's mid-range lineup. In India, the Galaxy A56 is priced starting at Rs 38,999 for the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage variant. Additional models include 8GB + 256GB for Rs 41,999 and 12GB + 256GB for Rs 44,999. The device features a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 1,200 nits of brightness in High Brightness Mode. Protected by Gorilla Glass Victus+, the phone is equipped with an Exynos 1580 processor, a 5,000mAh battery, and supports 45W fast wired charging. Camera-wise, it offers a 50MP triple rear camera setup and a 12MP front shooter, available in Awesome Graphite and Awesome Olive colour options. As we await further updates on the Galaxy A57, Samsung fans can enjoy the A56's solid performance and premium features in the mid-range segment.

Galaxy A56 update brings AI – and a bootloop bug. Oops.
A Galaxy A56 bug caused by (reportedly) the latest OS update throws the phone in a boot loop. There's a simple workaround though, that seems to fix it for the affected users. A recent update to the Galaxy A56 brought some minor improvements to the software and the ability to launch Google's much-beloved AI chatbot Gemini with a long press of the power button. But, according to some unlucky users, the update didn't just bring improvements, but a rather annoying (and serious-sounding) bug. Posts on the Samsung Community forum indicate that some Galaxy A56 users are suffering from bootloop issues following the latest update by Samsung. Apparently, they report the phone gets stuck in startup and never loads the OS. Samsung is yet to acknowledge the problem; in the meantime, there's a workaround discovered by some users that seems to work for affected phones. The workaround is simple: power off the phone, remove the SIM card, and then start it up again. Once the OS boots, you can insert the SIM card back in. This seems to not be a very widespread issue, but nevertheless, it's quite a big bug given the fact that it makes the phone unusable if you're unaware of the existing workaround. Probably Samsung will react soon to the issue and release a fix to address it. Despite that, it seems not all Galaxy A56 phones running the latest software are experiencing the problem. Meanwhile, the mid-ranger siblings, the Galaxy A26 and Galaxy A36 , which have also received the same update, have not seen this issue happen. Galaxy A56 and Galaxy A36.

The Galaxy A56 was announced on March 1, 2025, alongside the Galaxy A36 and A26. The phones sport AI (the fad that's currently everywhere) under the banner "Awesome Intelligence", which brings some previously reserved to only flagship devices features to these mid-range phones. The Galaxy A56 starts at $499.99 and is a direct competitor to another recently released mid-ranger, the Google Pixel 9a. From the Apple front, we have the iPhone 16e which competes with those two, even though it's a tad more expensive, which is justified by its more powerful flagship chipset. The competitors are not without software struggles either. At launch, the Pixel 9a had a minor (but annoying) twitchy camera bug, while the iPhone 16e has been experiencing some bugs with Bluetooth audio connectivity.

Samsung Galaxy A57 to use a new chipset
Samsung launched the Galaxy A56 in March, and it's powered by Samsung's own Exynos 1580 SoC. Its successor, the Galaxy A57, is now said to be bringing the new Exynos 1680 SoC when it arrives (most likely in 2026). The Exynos 1680 allegedly has the model number S5E8865 and the codename Terra. No other details are known about it yet, but it is probably safe to assume that it will use an Xclipse GPU just like its predecessor. Samsung Galaxy A56 There is however plenty of time left until the Galaxy A57's unveiling, time during which we'll surely learn more about its SoC. The Exynos 1580 came with a very nice performance boost compared to the 1480, but of course there's always more performance to be had in the mid-range segment, so we're hoping the 1680 will deliver even better.
