• The Samsung Galaxy S25 could finally usher in seamless Android updates, more than eight years after its launch.

• Currently, only the Galaxy A55 supports seamless updates, although the smartphone is not available in the US.

• The Galaxy S25 series could debut by mid-January, based on the announcement date of the Galaxy S24 flagships earlier this year.

The tech industry moves at a fast pace, and in just over two months from now, we’ll have a new Samsung Galaxy flagship making headlines. Leaks related to Galaxy S25 have been ramping up in recent weeks, with a recent leak providing information on displaying the Ultra variantwhile there is also talk of a The Galaxy S25 “Slim” will debut late next year to take on Apple. A leak now suggests that the upcoming Galaxy S25 series could finally implement a feature that Samsung should have offered years ago. seamless updates.

First introduced by Google in 2016, seamless updates or A/B system updates allow users to continue using their Android smartphones because the update is applied in the background, requiring only a reboot at the end of the process to complete the process. But Samsung has yet to adopt seamless updates for its flagship products.

However, that could change soon, according to the leaker chunvn8888 on X/Twitterwhich claims that the company will bring seamless updates to the Galaxy S25 series in a few months (via Android Authority). If the source information is correct, this feature would take a long time for Samsung.

The wait for seamless updates may be over

It was initially believed that the company would be forced to implement Seamless updates on Galaxy devices with Android 13. Hopes later shifted to the Galaxy S23 from early 2023, only for Samsung to drop it again.

We haven’t seen seamless updates with the Galaxy S24 series either, although the company showed signs of moving in the right direction in March of this year when it launched The mid-range Galaxy A55 smartphone with support for A/B system updates. Unfortunately, Samsung chose not to launch the Galaxy A55 in the US.

Given that the company has waited so long to bring full Android updates to its flagship smartphone lineup, we won’t be surprised if Samsung doesn’t spend too much time talking about it during the January announcement. There is still no word on when the Galaxy S25 will be revealed, although mid-January seems to be the likely timeline when the Galaxy S24 was announced.
