A/B partition seamless upates?

[Robin621k]

How would you feel if the S25 series of phones adopts seamless updates with A/B partition?

Meaning that you can still use your phone while software updates are performed in the background. 

It works like this, there are 2 slots, A and B, when you download a software update depending on the slot currently being used, the software will be installed on the inactive slot allowing you to use your phone while installing the update. It takes MUCH longer for this to complete, especially with a sizeable update like a new OS. It could take hours not minutes. Rebooing after the install is much faster. The amount of extra storage this requires is negligible. 

The biggest benifit, it will rarely brick your phone if something goes wrong, it will fallback to the working slot. You will also not have a cache partition that is currently in use on Samsung Phones to fix bug issues.

I think I prefer the way it currently is, I don't mind the 5 to 10 minutes it takes to perform a software update. I am impatient, I dislike how long it takes to update using seamless updates.

Your thoughts?

Think should remain as is much easier

Every android manufacturer except Sammy does seamless updates. I doubt the s25 will do it. Sammy innovation has took a dive. I have an a23+ besides new CPU there is no other difference apparently.

But seamless updates are really nice and easy. Some of these people are chicken of change.

I will not be getting another Sammy until they start innovating . All this stupid AI garbage

Galaxy A55 does it

Galaxy A55 uses Seamless Updates, the first Galaxy phone to have it

Yes, A55 is the first with seamless updates. Word is the S25 series will be the first in the US. While leaks are not confirmation, software spotted on servers suggest that this will come to the S25 series.

It will be faster, downloading the update in the background. Taking about an minute or two, instead of 5 minutes. I actually might buy this phone.

I have a Pixel 9PROXL and an S24U downloading and installing Android 15. It was MUCH faster on my S24U than it was on my Pixel, 3gb in the background on my Pixel took almost 2 hr to install. On my S24U from start to reboot, it took about 8 minutes. What are you talking about 5 minutes! Large updates on a Pixel also time out frequently when it is more than a security patch.

I never experienced updating using seamless update. I may regret what I said once I get the S25 plus.

I have both. I can live with not using my phone for the time it takes on a Samsung phone. I usually apply the update in the morning while I'm the shower.
