Latest Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 Models Lack Support for Seamless Updates

Tech & AI | July 11, 2024, 1:23 a.m.

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 on July 10, but a surprising discovery was made using Android's developer tools - they do not support seamless updates. Seamless updates allow for new firmware to be installed in the background, without interrupting the user. This feature was finally introduced by Samsung on the Galaxy A55 in 2024, but it seems that the Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 have not followed suit. The lack of support for seamless updates may be due to the intricate process required to add this feature to devices that do not already support it. The flagship status of the Fold 6 and Flip 6 also means that their software takes up a significant amount of space, making seamless updates potentially challenging to implement. While the new foldables come with Android 14 and One UI 6.1.1, along with new Galaxy AI features, the absence of seamless updates may be a downside for users who value convenience and efficiency in their device updates.
