Samsung will finally bring seamless updates to its flagship phones, starting with the Galaxy S25 series - here's why that's exciting.

According to a leak, the Samsung Galaxy S25 series of smartphones could be the brand's first flagships to support seamless updates.

For reference, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is 162.3 x 79 x 8.6mm, so that would make the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra a tiny bit taller, but narrower and thinner. We’ve also heard that the Galaxy S25 Ultra might be lighter at 219g, rather than the 232g of its predecessor.

In fact, it already did a dry run with the Galaxy A55 that is its first phone to support the Seamless Update option. According to a reliable leakster, Samsung will indeed bring the faster, safer, seamless Android update option to the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra, making them its first flagship phones to support it.

While there’s still a chance this rumor turns out to be bogus, the fact that Samsung has offered seamless updates in the Galaxy A55 does suggest things are turning around. It’s just a shame it’s taken until the Galaxy S25 to make it happen. But, better now than never.

The Galaxy A55 5G supports seamless updates for a faster update process, and a leaker says this feature will come to the Galaxy S25 series.

That said, the latest Geekbench listing shows that the Exynos 2500 chipset could still feature in some regions, particularly in the Galaxy S25+ model. The device in question, with model number SM-S936B, is shown to be running the Exynos chip, despite the rumors surrounding the Snapdragon 8 Elite’s global rollout.

Samsung will release the Galaxy S25 family in early 2025—it won't admit that, but we all know it's happening. The new phones will undoubtedly run the latest Qualcomm silicon with big, bright OLED screens, but there may be a surprise inside. A leaker claims Samsung will finally add support for A/B system updates with the Galaxy S25.

The details come from South Korea's ET news, which reports that a slim version of the Galaxy S25 could be released in a limited number of territories to gauge market response ahead of a full introduction with the Galaxy S26.
