Samsung will finally bring seamless updates to its flagship phones, starting with the Galaxy S25 series - here's why that's exciting.

For reference, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is 162.3 x 79 x 8.6mm, so that would make the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra a tiny bit taller, but narrower and thinner. We’ve also heard that the Galaxy S25 Ultra might be lighter at 219g, rather than the 232g of its predecessor.

In fact, it already did a dry run with the Galaxy A55 that is its first phone to support the Seamless Update option. According to a reliable leakster, Samsung will indeed bring the faster, safer, seamless Android update option to the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra, making them its first flagship phones to support it.

While there’s still a chance this rumor turns out to be bogus, the fact that Samsung has offered seamless updates in the Galaxy A55 does suggest things are turning around. It’s just a shame it’s taken until the Galaxy S25 to make it happen. But, better now than never.

The Galaxy A55 5G supports seamless updates for a faster update process, and a leaker says this feature will come to the Galaxy S25 series.

Samsung will release the Galaxy S25 family in early 2025—it won't admit that, but we all know it's happening. The new phones will undoubtedly run the latest Qualcomm silicon with big, bright OLED screens, but there may be a surprise inside. A leaker claims Samsung will finally add support for A/B system updates with the Galaxy S25.

Samsung may introduce Android Seamless Update to the Galaxy S25, meaning updating Android versions could be a lot less hassle.

Samsung Galaxy S25 could finally introduce Android's seamless updates, over eight years after its launch. Currently, only the Galaxy A55 supports seamless updates, although the smartphone is unavailable 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.
