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?

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
