Samsung has been focusing on providing smooth Android updates for quite some time now, and its new smartphones are the best available ones. It was astonishing that the product maker launched it after eight years, which was already an in-build feature of Android Nougat introduced around 2016.
Others often called Samsung the Android smartphones’ pioneer as it regulary came up with amazing innovations. Besides Google, the Korean OEM also joined the trend and launched the same security updates for the Galaxy S24 (2024) up to seven years after the device was launched. Samsung also had an issue with launching new devices and system updates. The second type of updates surprise users, often designated as OTPs (Over the Air) or OTAs (Over-the-air) and appeared eight years ago as the Android Nougat (7. x) release. The new feature is extendable so a device can install an update could be through downloading and installing an update in the background before rebooting.
In summary, the Google’s dual partition (A/B) mechanism will allow the operating system to boot from partition A or B. Bootstrap is supposed to take place quietly as an update is completed on the idle partition in the background without the user noticing. Rebooting the system, the partition configuration reverts to the ported partition without command. This mechanism eliminates the inconvenience of the smartphone being fully occupied and unavailability for installing the app seamlessly during this time.
For cases where errors crop up, like an incorrect update the method is safeguarded to allow the user to revert back to their participation level prior to the hitch The profits are not of the second order for the users, and the approach gives the customers a smoother and more trusty manner of upgrade.
Lastly, Samsung is now coming to terms with regular software update release cycles on its new flagship, the Galaxy A55. My Earth.com has already gained positive feedback from other websites like The Mobile Indian, which confirms the fact that this smartphone has this feature. When trying to perform an update, my computer displayed a message to “Download and Install” and the system required to “Restart Now” upon its completion. To date, every Galaxy upgrade notice features “Install Now” when a new one comes around.
Now, Samsung is also adopting the Android hotfixes replacing the previous versions of the Operating systems with the latest one, the Galaxy A55.
The improvement can be viewed as a positive outcome for those who use smartphones manufactured by Samsung. The producer has stood by this policy – in spite that Google had offered to extend its hand many times for a solution. The android 11 had been the hardest figuratively talking for this company and had done great to get this one feature down. This was finally adopted by all the manufacturers. Nevertheless, similarly to Samsung S24s which are the most recent models, they stick to the traditional way and do not give up the headphone jack.
Furthermore, I guess that if you have an old Samsung it is impossible to flash new models. The reason is laced in this feature as the activation of this feature is achieved before a device gets to the market. Google has confessed in 2016 that projects of that nature were not easy to be done on toop existed of for sale devices. However, the Galaxy A55 can be seen as a precursor of an up to date device, plausibly compatible with speedy updates.
The Korean apprentice has been known to be in readiness to face the Android 15 transition scheduled by the Google. While on the upcoming version of user interface, the Mountain City Company plans to mandate smTPM or storing of VitalID is among the list of recommendations. It would be better for Samsung to defend the underdog, rather than fight Apple’s will.
