Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, the Samsung Galaxy S22 series was one of the top Android smartphones of its era, ensuring high performance for multitasking and gaming. However, as the phone gets older, many Galaxy S22 series users are facing random bootloops, for which Samsung is replacing the motherboard at a certain cost, as the phone is out of warranty. Now, there is good news, some Samsung users reported that freezing a dead Galaxy S22 can temporarily fix the bootloop issue.
Here’s a solution to temporarily revive bootloop issue on Samsung Galaxy S22
Earlier reports claimed that One UI 6.1 is causing issues on some Galaxy S22 series smartphones. Also, the Korean tech giant is aware of the issue but no official support has been provided yet.
Meanwhile, some good news has emerged on Reddit and Samsung’s community forums, as users have reported in their experience that putting the Samsung Galaxy S22 phone in the freezer helps temporarily get the phone out of the bootloop.
S22U bootloop resolved by placing in freezer
What does this imply? Last night my phone just got stuck. Weird but ok. Started rebooting, then I noticed it never actually booted and started rebooting all night. Saw a video suggesting put in the freezer. Well behold it boots up once chilled in the freezer
I didn’t notice a tremendous amount of heat or anything, I didn’t notice a bulge either. What would the freezer be doing allowing it to boot? (it’ll crash again once the OS is loaded for a bit/heated up?)
However, some users pointed out, that their Galaxy S22 went into a bootloop again after warming up, and eventually, the green line issue appeared as well.
Furthermore, Reddit users mentioned that they did not notice any kind of abnormally high heat build-up before placing their phones in the freezer. On the other hand, other users said that placing it in the freezer helped me access it temporarily, but I couldn’t backup anything.
Hey everyone, I’m facing a major issue with my S22 Ultra 512 GB Sky Blue (Exynos) and hoping someone can help before I lose all my data.
TLDR: My phone crashed and went into a boot loop. Putting it in the freezer temporarily helped me access it, but I couldn’t back anything up. The repair center suggested replacing the motherboard, but I’m hoping to find another solution to avoid losing all my data.
When some users sent their phones to Samsung for repair, the company’s repair center suggested replacing the motherboard. As a result, it costs about half of the phone’s purchase price, which is not value for money in 2025. As phone users are hoping to find any other solution to avoid losing all their data.
If the problem persists, it’s best to wait for an official fix or update from Samsung, and keep an eye on the company’s announcements.
Samsung is reportedly planning major upgrades for its future Galaxy S27 series. Even though these flagship phones are still far from launch, new leaks have revealed that Samsung is working on the Galaxy S27 Pro alongside the Galaxy S27, Galaxy S27 Plus, and Galaxy S27 Ultra models.

As per the GSMA database Documents, Samsung has three unannounced devices in the pipeline. The database has three model numbers: SM-S956U, SM-S957B/DS, and SM-S958U. According to this, the SM-S956U model number identifies it as the Galaxy S27+, while those for the SM-S957B/DS identify it as the Galaxy S27 Pro, and the SM-S958U lists it as the Galaxy S27 Ultra.
Additionally, the Pro variant phone is expected to resemble the Galaxy S27 Ultra in terms of specifications closely.
In terms of specifications, the Galaxy S27 Pro is expected to feature a more compact design, sporting a 6.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x display. There is also talk that it will not include an S Pen.
As for the cameras, this phone could feature a 200MP primary rear camera, a 50MP ultra-wide camera with autofocus, and a 50MP telephoto camera with 3.5x optical zoom. Additionally, it includes a 12MP front camera for better selfies.

Samsung has reportedly commenced Android 17-based One UI 9 testing for the Galaxy S26 series. The first-ever Android 17 build has surfaced on Samsung’s firmware server, suggesting an early debut of the next One UI version.
An alleged Android 17 firmware has been listed on CheckFirm (via TarunVats) for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. That said, Samsung kicked off its work on the One UI 9 system for the latest flagship nearly two months earlier than usual.
Based on available information, Samsung is currently testing the BZC5 build on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Samsung will take its time to refine this new operating system for Galaxy devices and will not rush the release of the firmware.
Although testing for One UI 9 has commenced early, this does not imply that it will become available to customers any sooner. Samsung will take the necessary time to optimize this new operating system for Galaxy devices and will not rush the firmware release.
On February 25, Samsung launched the Galaxy S26 series, and these phones will be available starting March 11. A day later, the company began rolling out Beta 6 for the Galaxy S25 series, but it seems this may not be the last beta before the stable version is released. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S25 series is still receiving updates through the One UI 8.5 beta program.
Samsung One UI 8.5 beta 7
A reliable tipster, @TarunVats, spotted a new One UI 8.5 beta build for the Galaxy S25 series on testing systems. The build ending in ZZC3 indicates that Samsung is preparing the seventh beta update for the S25 phones. It’s worth noting that this build began rolling out in March, but the patch level is still February 2026.
The new build suggests that the beta program is still active even after the Galaxy S26 series launched with One UI 8.5 features and improvements. Galaxy S25 Users may have to wait a little longer for the final stable update.
The latest One UI 8.5 Beta 6 update fixed many problems and improved the phone’s performance, including Bixby, Gallery, Now Bar, Now Brief, Display settings, Modes, and Routines.
At this time, Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed how many more beta updates will arrive or when the stable One UI 8.5 version will be released for the Galaxy S25 series and older phones. However, the new beta build is a strong indication that at least one more beta update is on the way. Galaxy S25 users who are part of the beta program should keep an eye out for new updates.
