TL;DR

  • Samsung has acknowledged its less-than-frequent Google Play system updates on Galaxy devices.

  • It has said that it only delivers software after testing, refuting Google’s plan to split updates into crucial and optional updates.

  • However, it has said that it will resume updates in January 2026.

    Yeah I agree with this.

    On Reddit you'd often see Pixel users gloat over Samsung users about their fast updates, but then you'd see the same Pixel users complaining about bugs in the recent update lol. I think a lot of people don't realize that's the trade-off. And no one knows how long Apple holds iPhone updates internally before releasing them.

    I have a Pixel, but I do not install updates immediately when I get the notification. I let them simmer for a week or so, and check Lemmy/Reddit to see if there are any issues before I install it.

    Releasing updates as fast as possible is not always a good thing.
