That is a Google issue and not a Samsung issue.

And it's still Google's fault?

Samsung can't control Play Store updates or Play Store services. Those are on all Android, that's on Google, no? This is not a software update those are Google services only Google controls this.

It's still Samsung's implementation of it.

Is play store Samsung implement also?

Do you see anything that would indicate Samsung would have any control of this?

Only that, S24 doesn't have it, yet multiple Samsung devices do. Not to mention devices from other manufacturers. Seems obvious to me.

The s24 is a brand new device that's starting to get things updated, if you believe otherwise I can't change that

Google Play Services is completely separate from Samsung's updates. It is a Google issue. Samsung does not control when Google Play Services gets updated. Google has even said so. The whole point of Google Play Services update was so Google can update components without having to role out major updates or rely on OEMs to provide those updates.

Not that I don't believe, just that I disagree Google is responsible.

It's a Google issue, not Samsung. If it was a Samsung problem, then all Samsung devices would be stuck on the same update. My Tab S9 is on the January 1 2024 update.

"Google Play System Updates were introduced in Android 10 (originally known as Project Mainline). It's mandatory for all Android 10 or newer devices to include Google Play System Updates. While phone and tablet manufacturers are responsible for delivering security patches, Google sends out the Google Play System Updates"

What Are Google Play System Updates on Android, and Are They Important?

Here's how these updates protect your device, and how you can make sure you have the latest one.

My Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ received the January, 2024 Google Play System update about a week ago! My S24U is still on July, 2023. I don't care who's job it is to get things up to date as long as it happens in a reasonable time frame. Is it reasonable for a system update, that is already available to many phones/tablets manufactured by Samsung, to be a full 6 months behind on their top-shelf flagship? That is the real question!

Because Samsung doesn't control the Google Play System update. That is pushed by Google. It is completely separated from the OS and monthly security patches.

"Google Play System Updates were introduced in Android 10 (originally known as Project Mainline). It's mandatory for all Android 10 or newer devices to include Google Play System Updates. While phone and tablet manufacturers are responsible for delivering security patches, Google sends out the Google Play System Updates"

Because of the differences between the various devices. Google has to tailor the update. The S24 is literally brand new, so Google has to produce and test the update. Once it gets a stable version ready, it will push it out.

 

[mustang7757]

Not only that the s24 is the only Samsung device on One UI 6.1 so Google has to prepare the update for that Samsung version

While I cannot debate who's truly responsible for the Google Play System update (it is Google's after all) because I really have no valid proof one way or the other.... I struggle to believe that Google has to tailor the update for every different Android device out there! I believe that Google provides the base update with all the "fixes" it wants in the update, but then the individual OEM's have to take that update and manipulate it to work with their devices...Google does not have the time or the incentive to do all the work that is involved to make it work on all the hundreds, possibly thousands, of different Android devices in the wild! YMMV
