Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 / Flip6 foldable phones are revealed to have missed Android seamless updates

July 11th news, Samsung officially released the much-anticipated Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z
Flip6 two folding screen phones yesterday (July 10th). However, according to information from Android development tools, these two new phones do not support the seamless update function, which has triggered a lot of discussion among some technology enthusiasts. Seamless updates, also known as A/B updates, were first introduced by Google when it launched the original Pixel phone in 2016. It ensures that a bootable and usable system remains on disk during over-the-air (OTA) updates. The advantages of this method of updating are obvious: it significantly reduces the risk of a device not booting after an update, thereby reducing the need for users to send their device in for repair due to update issues.

According to the editor’s understanding, although seamless update technology has been around for nearly ten years, Samsung does not seem to have fully promoted this feature. In March this year, the Galaxy
A55 mobile phone released by Samsung became the company’s first product to support seamless updates, but unfortunately, as of now, the Galaxy A55 is still the only Samsung mobile phone to support this feature.

Samsung has not given a clear explanation as to why it does not use seamless update technology on its latest folding screen mobile phones. However, some analysts believe that this may be a choice made due to technical implementation difficulty, cost considerations, or to maintain system stability. In any case, this is undoubtedly a point worthy of attention for users who pursue the security and convenience of system updates.
