Samsung is being sued over the Galaxy S22 boot loop issue
Samsung faces a class-action lawsuit alleging a faulty One UI 6.1.1 update caused Galaxy S22 devices to get stuck in boot loops.Summary
Samsung is facing a class-action lawsuit concerning the Galaxy S22 series after an update to One UI 6.1.1 reportedly caused numerous devices to become stuck in an endless boot loop. Many users reported the issue began appearing after the update, which was intended to improve device stability, but instead rendered their phones unusable. The lawsuit claims Samsung was aware of the potential for “critical and potentially fatal defects” before releasing the update and further alleges the company refused to honor extended warranties for affected devices.
The complaint states that users experienced significant data loss, including important files and photos, due to the boot loop issue. The lawsuit broadly covers consumers in the US who purchased a Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus, or Galaxy S22 Ultra within the four years prior to the complaint’s filing.
While the lawsuit’s outcome is uncertain, Samsung may choose to settle out of court to avoid further legal proceedings. The core of the complaint centers on the allegation that Samsung knowingly released a problematic update and failed to provide adequate support to affected customers.
