Samsung now provides four major OS updates for all its flagships, which is great. But it doesn't change the fact that if you buy a flagship Galaxy, which launches in August, you're still starting on an older version of the operating system that will soon be replaced. 

Early release Androidu 13 highlights even more what has long been a problem with Samsung's flagships launched in the second half of each year. Telephones Galaxy From Fold4 a Galaxy The Flip4 will go on sale on August 26, with the operating system Android 12L, respectively Android 12. It will be just one week after the official worldwide release Androidat 13, and that's a bit disappointing.

System Android 13 is released just before the sales start Galaxy Z Fold4 and Z Flip4 

Owners Galaxy The Z Fold4 and Z Flip4 will have to wait at least a month before they can start enjoying all the new features Androidat 13, which seems like a slap in the face considering that Android 13 is already out. A slap in the face for the reason that they will have to deal with the update at all, and a slap in the face, because this actually turned one year of support into just one month.

But Samsung doesn't really have much choice but to launch these flagships in August, because Apple is clearly locked into September with its iPhones, and since iPhone sales typically exceed sales of all other flagship devices, there wouldn't be enough interest in Samsung's products. In addition, Samsung has to adapt new versions of the operating system Android features and user interface of your own One UI skin, which takes some time.

It's one of those problems that Samsung just can't seem to fix, no matter how much its software policy improves. It's especially striking given how close Google and Samsung are to each other: Google simply can't provide Samsung with the necessary code for the latest version Androidus ahead of time so that both sides are ideally synchronized in the release of the new system and its superstructure?
