Samsung masters updates
It was after the present year 2022 when Samsung announced a positive change in your update policy. Since then, the South Korean company guarantees up to 4 versions of the system for its high-end and even some mid-range, thus becoming the Android ecosystem that offers the most software renewals.
The brand has in mind to continue improving this aspect and the last of the announcements has to do with the possibility of updating the mobile in the background. It has been Sally Jeong, vice president of Samsung Electronics, who also leads the development of One UI, who has mentioned that next generation layer want to add this function.
This ability grants the user the ability to use your Samsung smartphone at all times without any interruption, although, of course, to install the update you have to restart the device. This is completely logical because the phone, just like a computer or any other device, needs a reboot to apply the changes.
In any case, getting rid of the time involved in downloading a new version of One UI, which can sometimes grow to a considerable sizeIt is a great relief for the consumer. However, there is still more than a year left to appreciate the One UI 6 update along with its tricks on our Samsung, since the launch of One UI 5 is scheduled for the end of this year as it has happened on previous occasions.
Android 13 “forces” you
It was about a month ago that Google announced that, with Android 13, manufacturers must provide continuous system updates. The purpose of this measure is that OTA updates occur in the background so as not to disturb the user. This type of software renewal, also known under A/B system updateshave been present for several versions of Android.
The mobiles that take advantage of this function can carry out the process in the background, since the partition corresponding to the update remains inactive until the moment of restart. Google requires manufacturers to opt for this route to benefit consumers, but some rely on the traditional method when updating the device. There is no doubt that Samsung has made a success with this announcement and we hope that soon the rest of the companies will decide to bet on this methodology.
