Android makes it harder for Samsung to keep avoiding seamless updates
- Google may be preparing to remove support for “non-A/B” updates.
- This change may force Android phone makers to switch from conventional updates to seamless updates.
- There may still be a workaround to avoid seamless updates.
Despite Android introducing seamless updates years ago, Samsung has stubbornly avoided the option. Although the phone maker has made it this far without adopting the update method, it may prove to be too difficult for Samsung to keep denying it in the near future.
If you have a Pixel phone, you’ll be familiar with seamless updates. It’s a feature that allows you to continue using your phone as your update downloads and installs. This is done by running an active partition while an inactive partition is updated in the background. When it’s time to reboot, your phone then switches to the updated partition.
