Google Play System Update (July 2025) rolls out for Samsung devices

Google Play System Update was a feature that was introduced for devices that ship with Android 10 or newer. It’s mandatory for device manufacturers that plan to release their devices with Android 10 to support Google Play System Updates. As a result, non-Google devices, such as Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets released with Android 10 (One UI 2.1), can receive such updates, too.

These updates don’t require security updates from the manufacturer to work, as Project Mainline modules work independently to give you better experience with Android phones and tablets.

On July 23rd, a new Google Play System Update has been pushed to Samsung devices. This update upgrades your Project Mainline modules to the July 1st, 2025 version. This update weighs around 87 MB.

To be able to get this version, follow these steps:

1. Go to your device’s settings
2. Open the security settings
3. Find “Google Play System Update” and tap on it
4. If everything goes OK, you should see the below update dialog:

Click on Download and Install, wait for it to download, then reboot your device by clicking on the blue Restart button. The next time your device boots up, the revised update gets installed, so it’s going to take about 3 minutes maximum to install all the updates.

There is no progress bar, so don’t panic if it looks stuck. Your device will eventually boot up. Now, open your settings app and check your Google Play System Update. If everything is well, you should see July 1st, 2025 below the appropriate button.

In case your device didn’t receive the update, wait for a few days, and it will be available shortly.

Stay tuned for the August patch of 2025!

Reminder for 2022 Galaxy device updates

Samsung has made a promise that, starting from the Galaxy S21, flagship Galaxy devices will get four years of support starting from the initial release of the device. More specifically, Samsung will update those devices in four generations, while giving them five years of security and stability updates. This was to enhance security and to maximize longevity.

The following flagship devices released prior to the Galaxy S24 series were eligible for this policy:

• Galaxy S Series: Galaxy S23, S23+, S23 Ultra, S23 FE, S22, S22+, S22 Ultra, S21, S21+, S21 Ultra, and S21 FE.
• Galaxy Z Series: Galaxy Z Fold5, Z Flip5, Z Fold4, Z Flip4, Z Fold3, and Z Flip3.
• Galaxy Tablets: Galaxy Tab S9, S9+, S9 Ultra, S8, S8+, and S8 Ultra.
• Galaxy Watch: Galaxy Watch6, Watch6 Classic, Watch5, Watch5 Pro, Watch4, and Watch4 Classic.

Since then, we have come to the conclusion that devices released in 2022 are about to receive their last generation update with One UI 8.0 based on Android 16, first appeared in Z Fold/Flip7, and they are:

• Galaxy S Series: Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra.
• Galaxy Z Series: Galaxy Z Fold4 and Z Flip4.
• Galaxy Tablets: Galaxy Tab S8, S8+, and S8 Ultra.
• Galaxy Watch: Galaxy Watch4 and Watch4 Classic.

Samsung is expected to start the rollout after July 30th, but this is an expected date, so take this with a grain of salt, but what is confirmed is that One UI 8.0 will be the last generation update for the abovementioned devices released in 2022. After that, only security updates will make their way to those devices, and devices that are scheduled to get their security updates monthly will be demoted to quarterly security patch update schedule to join the Galaxy Tab S8 series, which receives updates quarterly.

If you have one of those devices, we recommend that you upgrade your device by purchasing the newest releases, such as Galaxy Z Fold/Flip7, to continue receiving updates.

Nach dem Betätigen des Start-Button wird die 3D Perspektive eingeblendet und mit der aktuellen Position angezeigt. Aber die Position wird nicht mehr aktualisiert, die Perspektive verändert sich nicht mehr. Abbrechen und neu starten bringt dann immer die Darstellung der neuen aktuellen Position.

Dieses Phänomen ist vor schätzungsweise 2 Jahren schon mal aufgetreten und hat dann irgendwann ohne Bezug zu einem konkreten Update funktioniert. Nun seit einigen Monaten geht es wieder nicht und zeigt ein identisches Verhalten.

My #Pixel7Pro basically on its way, just waiting for ebay to give me a tracking link/info, but I'm now debating weither I should keep the stock, google-infested rom and have no issues, or have a big chance of facing issues with CalyxOS or GrapheneOS?

The main reason being, I'm not sure if some of my apps like banking and carrier apps, along with another app or two will work, plus the fact that I'm paying for YouTube Premium, and so on.

I don't want to have to deal with incompatibility issues, but I'm also extremely uncomfortable (paranoid maybe?) with using the stock rom, so I don't know how it'll go...

Ob das #Fairphone4 wohl überhaupt noch #Android14 bekommen wird?

Langsam weicht meine anfängliche Begeisterung von #Fairphone dem Gedanken, dass die Firma vielleicht ein bisschen überfordert von ihren Versprechungen ist ...

Edit: Offenbar bekommt es jetzt direkt Android 15
