Will martial law in South Korea delay the release of Galaxy S25, One UI 7?
The political instability in South Korea after President Yoon Suk-yeol declared and then quickly withdrew martial law is causing the tech world to worry about the possibility of delaying the launch of the Galaxy S25 series and One UI 7.
Could martial law in South Korea affect the Galaxy S25 launch schedule?
Although martial law was lifted after the South Korean National Assembly voted against it, political instability remains. There are even rumors that President Yoon may resign, leading to the risk of political and economic crisis.
Samsung, one of South Korea's largest "chaebols" (business conglomerates), will certainly be affected by this situation. The company is scheduled to launch its Galaxy S25 lineup in late January, but the event could be delayed due to the current uncertainties.
The One UI 7 beta program has also been delayed for a long time, and the political turmoil has further increased the chances of the software launching later than expected.
Samsung has not yet made any official announcement about changing the product launch plan. However, observers say that the delay is inevitable in the current unstable context.
