Samsung Galaxy S23 doesn’t support this important Android update feature, here’s why it isn’t a deal breaker – Times of India
Samsung has been skipping the seamless update feature that Google introduced in 2016. The recently launched Galaxy S23 series is no exception as Samsung has once again skipped this feature on their latest flagship smartphones, reports 9to5Google.
What are seamless updates?
Seamless updates are an Android update feature that allows Android smartphones to install updates in the background and install them later when the phone is rebooted. Google introduced this feature in 2016. This makes it easier for users to download and install the latest updates on their smartphones without sacrificing the active time of the device.
But, not everything is good about the seamless updates. First, they are relatively slow compared to the traditional way of updating an Android device. Plus, it also requires more storage space than regular updates.
The benefit of this is that there’s a way to revert back the changes in case something goes wrong with the update.
Why Samsung skips the seamless update feature
There’s no official statement provided by Samsung on this. But, as per the report, Samsung skips this feature due to storage concerns.
Why it shouldn’t be a big deal for Galaxy S23 users
Samsung is known for offering timely and regular updates and the company also commits to providing up to three Android OS updates and 5 years of security updates. So, whether or not Samsung is using the seamless update feature, most Samsung smartphones are getting regular updates including the flagship devices like the Galaxy S23 series.
Talking about the specifications, the Galaxy S23 lineup is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. The Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ come with 8GB RAM. The Galaxy S23 Ultra comes with up to 12GB RAM. In terms of storage, the Galaxy S23 is available with up to 256GB storage, while the Galaxy S23+ comes with up to 512GB storage. The Galaxy S23 Ultra is available with up to 1TB of storage.
