Samsung’s Galaxy S21 series doesn’t support seamless updates, claims report
It appears that Samsung’s recently launched Galaxy S21 smartphone series misses out on a feature that could have allowed its users to seamlessly update the software of the device. For those unaware, the Android operating system comes with support to install system updates in the background, which means that users can operate the device while the software is downloading and requires a reboot only to install the update.
