Google\u2019s big push comes by way of Android 15 with a raft of new updates, while Samsung is arguably doing more, clamping down on sideloading, defaulting to maximum restrictions and pushing its Knox ecosystem as an alternative to Apple\u2019s equivalent.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s one area where the gap between Samsung and iPhone remains as big as ever\u2014security updates. While Android pushes a monthly cycle as opposed to Apple\u2019s as and when, users must wait for specific updates by model, region and carrier, and not everyone get the monthly update, with many on a quarterly or worse cycle.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"embed-base color-body color-body-border link-embed embed-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/zakdoffman\/2024\/11\/02\/why-you-should-buy-a-new-microsoft-windows-pc-in-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Why You Should Buy A New Microsoft Windows PC In 2025\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"forbesEmbedly:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/zakdoffman\/2024\/11\/02\/why-you-should-buy-a-new-microsoft-windows-pc-in-2025\/\"><span class=\"link-embed__info\"><span class=\"link-embed__provider\">Forbes<\/span><span class=\"link-embed__title\">Why You Should Buy A New Microsoft Windows PC In 2025<\/span><small class=\"link-embed__byline\">By <span class=\"link-embed__author\">Zak Doffman<\/span><\/small><\/span><span class=\"link-embed__thumbnail-wrapper\"><span class=\"link-embed__thumbnail allow-inline-style\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/specials-images.forbesimg.com\/imageserve\/66326c977605f1e72ab87c8d\/960x0.jpg?cropX1=1303&amp;cropX2=2487&amp;cropY1=831&amp;cropY2=1555);\"\/><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is another area where Google is pushing a fix.

And for owners of the most recent S24 and S23 flagships, the bad news is that it\u2019s \u201cthe Galaxy S25 series [that] could finally offer seamless updates,\u201d <em>Android Authority <\/em>reports, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/chunvn8888\/status\/1852203187975131597?s=61&amp;t=hwS5xcISslT5UvqlKf-9Wg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/x.com\/chunvn8888\/status\/1852203187975131597?s=61&amp;t=hwS5xcISslT5UvqlKf-9Wg\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/x.com\/chunvn8888\/status\/1852203187975131597?s=61&amp;t=hwS5xcISslT5UvqlKf-9Wg\" aria-label=\"based on a new leak on X\">based on a new leak on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The issue, as the website says, is that while \u201cthese wouldn\u2019t be the first Samsung phones to offer seamless updates, as the Galaxy A55 5G reportedly offered this functionality earlier this year, these would be the first flagship Galaxy phones with this feature.\u201d Which is a serious issue for today\u2019s owners of expensive phones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe older method used on the Galaxy S24 line,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phonearena.com\/news\/galaxy-s25-series-might-support-seamless-updates_id164392\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.phonearena.com\/news\/galaxy-s25-series-might-support-seamless-updates_id164392\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.phonearena.com\/news\/galaxy-s25-series-might-support-seamless-updates_id164392\" aria-label=\"Phone Arena\"><em data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.phonearena.com\/news\/galaxy-s25-series-might-support-seamless-updates_id164392\">Phone Arena<\/em><\/a>, \u201cis a full-system reboot that requires the device to completely restart which is a process that can take minutes. During that time, the new software is installed on the phone and when it is all done, the device reboots with the new software installed. This method is considered less efficient and more of a disruption to the user.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clearly this is not confirmed, but what we <em>do<\/em> know is that seamless or any form of regular all at once updating remains a critical missing feature for Samsung owners. This is exacerbated by Google flexing its muscles when it coms to its own control over hardware and software with Pixels, something Samsung cannot match while it remains dependent on the broader Android ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"embed-base color-body color-body-border link-embed embed-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/zakdoffman\/2024\/11\/02\/iphones-under-attack-new-warning--as-hackers-target-apple-devices\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Reboot Your iPhone\u2014New Warning As Hackers Target Apple Users\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"forbesEmbedly:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/zakdoffman\/2024\/11\/02\/iphones-under-attack-new-warning--as-hackers-target-apple-devices\/\"><span class=\"link-embed__info\"><span class=\"link-embed__provider\">Forbes<\/span><span class=\"link-embed__title\">Reboot Your iPhone\u2014New Warning As Hackers Target Apple Users<\/span><small class=\"link-embed__byline\">By <span class=\"link-embed__author\">Zak Doffman<\/span><\/small><\/span><span class=\"link-embed__thumbnail-wrapper\"><span class=\"link-embed__thumbnail allow-inline-style\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/specials-images.forbesimg.com\/imageserve\/6725c4903507a91cd0589a82\/960x0.jpg?cropX1=947&amp;cropX2=3433&amp;cropY1=683&amp;cropY2=2114);\"\/><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s also why Samsung users remain in wait and see mode for Android 15, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/zakdoffman\/2024\/11\/01\/new-leaked-update-for-samsung-s24-ultra-s23-ultra-z-fold-6-z-flip-6-users\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/zakdoffman\/2024\/11\/01\/new-leaked-update-for-samsung-s24-ultra-s23-ultra-z-fold-6-z-flip-6-users\/\" data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/zakdoffman\/2024\/11\/01\/new-leaked-update-for-samsung-s24-ultra-s23-ultra-z-fold-6-z-flip-6-users\/\" aria-label=\"albeit the long-awaited One UI 7 may be just a few days away, at least in beta form\" rel=\"noopener\">albeit the long-awaited One UI 7 may be just a few days away, at least in beta form<\/a>.
