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:

  • Go to your device’s settings
  • Open the security settings
  • Find “Google Play System Update” and tap on it
  • 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!

    Aus für Android 12 und 12L: Google beendet Support für Millionen Geräte

    Wer ein Smartphone mit Android 12 oder 12L besitzt, sollte sich besser nach einem Upgrade umsehen.

    heise online

    The latest #Android #AOSP security patch marks the end of public Android #12 and #12L security patch support.

    There are a number of #Automotive #Infotainment systems based on #Android12 or #Android12L, so it'll be interesting to see whether companies provide updates to #Android13 (or, more likely, #Android14), or whether we see head-units left vulnerable to issues discovered in the coming months and years.

    My experience says no. From devices here, I believe the horizontal gray line on the bottom screen edge has been a UI feature since #Android12L (the 'tablet edition's). It's present on tablets with gestures on or off, in light or dark mode, with any launcher app.

    I agree it's silly. If the intent is to signal "swipe up from here" then why not put one atop the screen as well for "swipe down from here"?.
