Samsung has been extremely sluggish to undertake seamless updates for its Android smartphones for causes that also aren’t very clear. The corporate lastly made inroads with the Galaxy S25 collection, in addition to the Galaxy A55. So, naturally, we assumed that every one of its units launching after these would have assist for the function.
Alas, no. The just lately launched Galaxy A26 and Galaxy A36 have simply obtained their first updates in Europe, and, because the saying goes, we now have some excellent news and a few unhealthy information. The excellent news is that the A36 does the truth is assist seamless updates.
The unhealthy information is that the A26 would not. Suffice to say, this is unnecessary, however it’s what it’s. The A56 hasn’t obtained its first replace but, however we’re after all hoping it does assist seamless updates, since its predecessor does.
Seamless updates use two equivalent system partitions. Whenever you get an replace, it is put in onto the partition that is not at present being utilized by the system – thus the set up may be totally carried out when you’re utilizing the telephone, there is not any want for the set up to occur upon a reboot. On the finish you continue to need to reboot the telephone, nevertheless it’s a a lot, a lot faster affair as all it must do is swap between partitions.
As this requires the 2 partitions to exist from day one, there’s zero probability the Galaxy A26 will ever assist seamless updates, sadly. And so Samsung continues to be extremely sluggish at rolling this out – however then it has been sluggish with rollouts basically currently, so it is not likely that shocking.
