Samsung has released a new software update for the Galaxy A55, its latest premium mid-range phone. With this update, the Galaxy A55 has become the first Samsung smartphone to receive the July 2024 security patch.
This may also be the first update in many months for some Galaxy A55 owners. The A55 is eligible for monthly updates, but for some reason, Samsung has not been able to stick to that schedule.
The phone's support for seamless updates, which allow users to continue using the device while updates are installed, is supposedly one of the reasons, but that has not been officially confirmed by Samsung.
