The Samsung Galaxy S25 could take the hassle out of Android updates

If you own a Samsung Galaxy phone then you’re probably familiar with the downtime involved in Android updates, but if you’ve used other Android phones then you’re likely aware that it doesn’t need to be like that. Now though, it seems Samsung is finally embracing the seamless updates feature that has been possible on other Androids for years.

SamMobile and @MishaalRahman have spotted that the newly released Samsung Galaxy A55 installs its first update seamlessly, meaning that it does so in the background on a partition. You still need to restart the phone to apply the update, but you don’t need to wait while the update is installed, meaning that the phone remains useable throughout the update process.
