Series models Galaxy S23 could be the first Samsung phones to support Seamless Updates out of the box. However, not because the Korean giant has changed its mind, but because Google will be in the frame Androidu 13 reportedly require smartphone manufacturers to support the feature.

Seamless Updates is a feature that Google introduced back in Androidu 7, i.e. in 2016. It allows the device to download and install new system updates in a separate partition in the background and only requires a reboot to use them.

When the software giant released Android 11, originally intended to push manufacturers to implement this feature in their devices, but eventually changed their minds due to concerns about the size of internal memory. Samsung is one of the manufacturers that doesn't support the feature yet, but that could change soon.

Google managed to reduce the storage size requirements for the feature by implementing a virtual partition A/B, and as pointed out by a well-known leaker Mishaal Rahman, Google will be on smartphones running on Androidu 13 to require that they support this virtual partition to ensure that they also support "rolling updates".

In other words, it should mean that the next Samsung flagship Galaxy S23 and its future models with Androidem 13 will allow users to download new system updates in the background without rendering their phones unusable for a good few minutes during the installation process.
