Credit: Samsung The Samsung Galaxy A26 5G reportedly lacks seamless updates, while the Galaxy A36 5G apparently supports the feature. This update method sees updates installed in the background, allowing you to keep using your phone. The Galaxy S25 series also supports this modern update method. The Samsung Galaxy A55 5G was the first Samsung phone to support seamless updates, which is a more convenient way to update your device. This feature has since arrived on the Galaxy S25 series, but it turns out that some new Galaxy phones don’t support it. Dutch outlet Galaxy Club reports that the recently released Samsung Galaxy A36 5G and A56 5G support seamless updates while the Galaxy A26 5G uses the old update method. So what’s the difference?

Credit: Robert Triggs / Android Authority The US government has stopped funding the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database, a standardized global system for identifying and tracking software vulnerabilities across platforms and devices, including Android. Without CVEs, Google’s monthly Android security bulletins may face delays, confusion, or reduced transparency. It’s unclear who, if anyone, will step in to maintain or replace the CVE system. The United States government has abruptly pulled funding for the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures database (CVE). Without US funding, the critical security program that standardizes naming and tracking vulnerabilities will be as good as dead unless it finds another benefactor. Now, it might sound like a behind-the-scenes change, but this development could affect how fast your Android phones get security updates.
