Samsung may introduce Android Seamless Update to the Galaxy S25, meaning updating Android versions could be a lot less hassle.

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

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.

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,

It's likely that the Galaxy S25 will run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset when the new phones arrive next year. And that could be the most important change Samsung makes to its phones.
