Never ask a Samsung phone owner how long it takes to install an update.

Most Android smartphones install system updates in the background, but Samsung devices still perform updates the old-fashioned way.

Fortunately, this gives the impression of changing, at least in some new and upcoming Galaxy phones.

The newGalaxy A55 5Gutilizes Android’s Seamless Updates feature.

Seamless Updates wasintroduced in 2016, and its early implementation was far from perfect.

Now that Seamless Updates has matured, Samsung is willing to take the plunge.

The new Galaxy A55 5G is Samsung’s first smartphone with Seamless Updates.

You’ll be asked to restart the phone once the update is installedawesome.

Some users believe that this change was forced upon Samsung.

A recentcomment in AOSPshows that Android 15 will end support for “non-A/B” partitioned updates in Android 15.

However, Samsung has danced aroundeight yearsof Seamless Update requirements.

Presumably, Samsung will utilize Seamless Updates in all upcoming devices, including the Galaxy S25 lineup.

But this hasn’t been confirmed by Samsung.

The fate of existing Galaxy phones, including the Galaxy S24, is also a mystery.
