Google Play System Update (June 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 1st, a new Google Play System Update has been pushed to Samsung devices. This update upgrades your Project Mainline modules to the June 1st, 2025 version. This update weighs around 75 MB.

To be able to get this version, follow these steps:

  1. Go to your device’s settings
  2. Open the security settings
  3. Find “Google Play System Update” and tap on it
  4. 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 June 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 July patch of 2025!

Google hace algo bueno y por fin han añadido el nuevo #ModoEscritorio de #Android a la última actualización de la beta.
Se nota que aún tienen que pulir cosas como el poder apagar la pantalla del móvil al estar conectado a un monitor, resoluciones mayores a 1080p... Y hay aplicaciones que no están diseñadas ni para moverse en una tablet (irónicamente como la propia app del buscador de Google), así que no funcionan bien cuando se cambia el tamaño de la pantalla.

Pero poder transformar un smartphone en un ordenador es algo que se debería haber hecho antes.
A ver si para #Android17 (o #Android26) ya está completamente finalizado y funcional. Además, ahora hay un motivo para que existan smartphones y tablets con 16GB de RAM.

Aish, ojalá poder disfrutar de esto en #GrapheneOS pronto, a ver si la #EvilGCorp deja de hacer el mal de una vez.

Google, could do you a thing where, when we create a second user on our pixel phone, can you let us do the data transfer thing just like we can with our default user? I, along with others use the multiple users function as a data segregated profile but it'd help to set our phones up faster if both of our user setups could have the ability to do the initial data transfer / restoration thing, not just the main user. Thank you

Attention Earthlings and Saiyans alike! Power up your podcasting devices to over 9000 because it’s time for another electrifying episode of Play Comics! Today we’re diving headfirst into the pixelated world of Dragon Ball Z Legendary Super Warriors on the Game Boy Color. Prepare for a journey through time space and nostalgic handheld gaming that’ll make your hair stand on end (and possibly turn golden).

Joining us on this epic quest is none other than our legendary recurring guest Karrington Martin from K&K Indie Gaming Corner. He’s back faster than you can say “Instant Transmission” ready to unleash his wealth of knowledge like a perfectly timed Spirit Bomb.

So grab your senzu beans, polish your dragon balls, and get ready to explore a game that squeezed the entire DBZ saga into a tiny cartridge. It’s time to go beyond the manga pages and into the realm of pocket-sized martial arts mayhem. Let’s see if this game is truly legendary or if it’ll leave us wishing for the dragon to grant us a better adaptation!

Learn such things as:

  • Is Dragon Ball the most important anime/manga franchise in the history of anime/manga that we got in North America?
  • How many different versions of the same character do you need in a game?
  • Did the smaller number of available things in the past help to give us a more centralized zeitgeist, and if so is that a better situation than the overwhelming number of choices that we have today?
  • And so much more!

You can find Karrington at K&K Indie Gaming podcast website. You can also find him on Twitter @Desertfury90.
