If you have a Samsung Galaxy device, then you need to check for this critical update and install as soon as available; you also need to be ready for a huge change coming to your device soon—it’s one you do not want to miss…Samsung’s March security rollout continues, with more budget models coming under cover, joining the premium devices which became eligible first. Carrier-unlocked S21 FE devices in the US, by way of example, joined the club just before the weekend.
The availability of the March update isn’t the biggest news of the week. Samsung has finally jumped aboard Google’s seamless update roadshow after years of avoidance. Rather than run the download, install, reboot cycle specifically for a new update, the new system downloads and installs an update in the background to a secondary partition on the device, and then reboots from that partition when it next restarts.
As you can see in the X post above, you will be able to tell if a seamless update is being installed by the two progress bars—one for the download/install and the other for verification. The Galaxy A55 has been playing guinea pig for Samsung’s initial seamless update go-live, but one assumes this is set to go out much more widely over the coming months. It’s baited breath time as wait to see which devices will be next.
So why now? It could be that Samsung was pushed rather than decided to jump. A recent Android Open Source ProjectGiven seamless updates first became available in 2016, Samsung’s holding out has become legendary. On the one hand this has been a painful thorn for the Android project, on the other there is no Android without Samsung, so one expects there have been a raft of discussions in the background.
