Samsung Galaxy S25 Series May Feature Groundbreaking A/B Seamless Updates, Eliminating Update Hassles?

According to a post by @chunvn8888 yesterday (November 1st), the Samsung Galaxy S25 series might support breakthrough A/B seamless updates. This is undoubtedly good news for Samsung users, as it signifies that future Galaxy S series flagship models will bid farewell to update inconveniences, such as lengthy update times and system crash risks.

A/B Seamless Updates: A Safer and More Convenient Updating Experience

A/B seamless updates, also known as A/B updates, were introduced in 2016 with Google's first Pixel phone. This update method retains a functional and bootable system on the disk while downloading and installing a new system version. Users can complete the update without restarting their device. This means users can avoid long update processes, and more importantly, even if issues arise during the update, they can switch back to the old system, preventing the embarrassment of a non-bootable device.

Samsung's "Seamless Update" Journey: From Slow Progress to Breakthrough?

Although A/B seamless updates have been around for years, Samsung only launched its first phone with this feature in March of this year the Galaxy A55. However, the Galaxy A55 remains the only Samsung phone supporting seamless updates. Even recently launched high-end foldable phones like the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6 do not support A/B updates, meaning users may encounter longer update times or other inconveniences during system updates.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 series is expected to be officially released early next year, running Android 15 (OneUI 7). If it supports A/B seamless updates, it would signify Samsung's push to popularize this feature on high-end models, encouraging more Samsung phones to adopt A/B seamless updates.

A/B Updates: Hardware-Level Support

It's important to note that the A/B partitioning feature requires hardware-level support and cannot be implemented through firmware updates. If a phone lacks A/B support from the outset, it will never possess this functionality. Therefore, whether the Samsung Galaxy S25 series will support A/B seamless updates ultimately hinges on Samsung's hardware design decisions.

Anticipating a Breakthrough with the Samsung Galaxy S25

The launch of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series is highly anticipated. If it truly supports A/B seamless updates, it will deliver a safer and more convenient update experience for users, marking a significant breakthrough in Samsung's system updates. We eagerly await whether future Samsung phones will continue to embrace A/B update technology.
