Galaxy A55 is the first and only Samsung device that gives its users seamless update support right now, even though this is a relatively old feature. Google made it official way back in 2016, but Samsung just adopted it in March 2024, and now they plan to make it standard across all Galaxy S25 devices.
A major leak from the Android Headlines publication breaks the secret wide open in today’s news. Galaxy S25 Ultra is reportedly next in the queue with a seamless update feature, and if that’s the case, it’s only logical to assume that Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus will follow.
If you don’t know what seamless updates are, let us break it down. Usually, when an update hits your Galaxy device, it takes downloading, which requires a few minutes, and installation immediately after. That renders the device useless until the update is completed and the phone rebooted.
Seamless update puts the download data in a separate partition other than the primary OS partition A, so folks can keep using the Samsung's new Ultra handset throughout the installation process. The new content just shows up when you restart your phone. With so many recurring Samsung patches and updates, this feature will be a big help, without a doubt.
Android Headlines also found chipset details in the leaked files. There’s no question now that SM-S938 or the Galaxy S25 Ultra bags a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. Previous rumors were also helpful finding out that the S25 Ultra is bumping up its max RAM option to 16GB. We’ll know more details upon the Galaxy S25 series launch due on January 22nd.

A flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon chip is the go-to choice for all the brands making foldables, even Samsung, which has its very own chipset foundry Exynos. Qualcomm has a monopolistic grip on the foldable industry, and rightly so based on consumer sentiment. Samsung, however, wants to rise above it by introducing Exynos to Galaxy Z Flip 7.
TheElec publication from Korea reported a leak that says Galaxy Z Flip 7 will debut with an Exynos 2500 chip. If you’ve been following the news lately, this report also corroborated the claims of a high-ranking Samsung official talking about Exynos’ involvement among Samsung foldables.
From what we hear in the news, Exynos 2500 will enter the production phase in early 2025. Samsung has already drawn up plans to manufacture 229.4 million phones, foldable or otherwise. 3 million units (1% of the planned production) will account for Z Flip 7, and Z Flip FE might follow with at least 900,000 units at 0.4%.
We’ve heard rumors that the Exynos 2500 is a 10-core chip that trades blows with the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Samsung used its newer SF3 3nm node to manufacture it and the peak frequency it can achieve is 3.3GHz. The rest of its cores are divided into 2.75GHz, 2.36GHz, and 1.8GHz clusters, integrating with the Xclipse 950 GPU.
Some Chinese foldable makers have avoided the Snapdragon chips, using Mediatek as an alternative, and it’s great to see Samsung landing in the arena with its own Exynos build for Galaxy Z Flip 7. As far as consumer sentiments are concerned, Qualcomm remains the first preference for a big majority.
