However this is the official source and just stated that it will start rolling out to the S25 series this week.

Unfortunately and I could be wrong too but I do I am right in this case but if yoy got your phoen from Samsung directly, then you most likely to get updates from them, if you got it from a carrier then they control the updates

If I remember right even last year the Unbranded phone from Samsung got updates months before carrier ones turned up

[Dobby13]

Yes I understand. I was also on the understanding a nation rule changed with carriers and devices in the last 2 years from the ombudsman. This is also why no UK phones are locked to carriers anymore. Fir a carrier locked device or branded device. I believe the baseband starts with S938U or U1.. mines B. Which stands for international model. So I guess. Time will tell.

Early morning on the 18th sep. Carrier software devices never release on same day... which tells me my theory is correct about them being completely un-branded anymore in UK.

There you go, they don't always come out the same day from previous experience but congrats

Installed 2 days ago, no issues so far. I am finding widgets more reliable than before.

[JAMES4578]

Certainly positive,hopefully continues to run smoothly. Clearing thr cache partition is advisable.

[RushGuy]

I forgot to say i am on A25 5G.

Clearing the cache partition, I haven't done that since running cyanogen on my Galaxy SIII.

[JAMES4578]

Oh right, well it is personal choice but I think it helps particularly after major OS upgrades (even if One UI8 is more incremental)

[RushGuy]

I need to refresh myself on how to do all that. 😂
