Samsung is now working on bringing Seamless Updates to its phones. The feature first appeared on Pixels in 2016 and is present on various Android phones but is not yet available for Galaxies. It permits the installation of an update in partition B when you are using the phone on partition A; after theupdate is complete, you only need to reboot instead of having your phone unusable for the duration of the process.
According to the interview conducted by Samsung Electronics VP Hyesoon Jeong (Sally), Samsung is currently working on adding seamless updates as part of OneUI 6 next year.
Google has made Seamless Updates a mandatory feature for all phones that launch Android 13, so it would be reasonable to expect the Galaxy S23 series to have the feature before OneUI 6 arrives later next year. We’ll see.
In the final interview, Sally declared that OneUI will not expand beyond phones to TVs and Chromebooks.
