Certain US Galaxy S25 series models receive the April update with improved animation and more

To install the update, on your Galaxy S25 series handset go to Settings > Software update > Download and install. While just available now for the aforementioned factory-unlocked flagship line in the U.S., we expect Samsung to expand the release of the update and include other countries in the rollout.

The update improves the battery charging animation on updated phones as the battery charge icon in the status bar appears to run smoother after the update is installed. The update also brings the media player widget to the notifications area from the Now Bar on the lock screen and the Quick Panel page. The update includes the April 1, 2025 security level.

Besides the improvements already listed above, the update makes the Galaxy phones receiving it more stable and adds improved device behavior and security. While we are discussing the April update so late in the month, the May update is only about a week or two away. The Galaxy S25 series, as the current flagship line, will probably get the first shot at the May update.
