Android does not have to be an absolute disaster in updates. Samsung has had to demonstrate it

Just a month ago Google updated its last pixel to the latest stable version of Android, 16. Today, in its presentation event of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Flip7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 Fe, the company has presumed something unusual: the three have the latest version of Android. It is the two very clear points test in 2025.

Android 16. That a manufacturer throws a phone with the latest version of Android just a month of its launch is very strange. Manufacturers usually take months and months to refine the ROM to the latest version, especially in cases such as Samsung, with a heavy customization layer.

Laning three phones to the market with Android 16, when the Pixel are starting their journey with this version is a clear message: Samsung wants to be the first, and not only in speed.

The seven years of updates. Samsung was the first to achieve something unusual: to advance Google in update policy. The manufacturer offers seven years of system updates and another seven years of security patches.

Only Google (who arrived after Samsung) and Honor, who has joined the car, manage to offer their customers these figures on their best phones. Seven years of support are major words. It is not just the proof that Android phones They can update during the same time as an iPhoneIt is a trusted proof for the brand with respect to its own product.

Leader in AI. Samsung has a Google partner to enhance his suite of artificial intelligence functions and, curiously, his Galaxy AI It is the most complete the AI ​​ecosystem in the mobile market. Above Google’s own proposal in his Pixel and far ahead of what rivals like Apple are doing.

Samsung did not want to implement Gemini Nano To make the minimum effort: it has integrated its functions with the native apps of One UI, to the point where they are practically indistinguishable from any usual adjustment. Just press the AI ​​button to take a step further apps such as:

• Gallery
• Phone
• Circle to Search (compatible with S-PEN)
• Voice recorder
• Translator
• GENERATION OF WINDERS
• Third -party apps, such as WhatsApp and keyboard translation

The lessons. For years, Touchwiz was the ugly duckling of the Roms on Android.

• Worked slow (there was lag)
• I was very overloaded with functions
• At the aesthetic level it was … debatable

Today, it has one of the most refined ROMs at the interface level, it is able to manage all its native functions and apps without slowing down (even in mid -range and entrance mobiles) and is marking a path as a reference in updates and Ia.
