Many Galaxy users often ask:
“Why did my friend in another country get the update before me?” or
“Why are software updates not released globally at the same time?”🤔

Here’s why,

 Carrier & Regional Approvals – Updates must pass certification from local carriers, government authorities, and regional standards before release.
 Server Load Management – Releasing updates gradually prevents server overload and ensures a smoother download experience worldwide.
 Bug Monitoring – Samsung rolls out updates in phases. If any major issues are found in the first regions, they can pause, fix, and then continue releasing to other regions.
 Customized Features – Some countries have region-specific features, apps, or regulations that require extra testing.

So, while it may feel frustrating to wait, this phased rollout process actually ensures more stability, security, and quality for everyone.

 Pro Tip: You can always check Settings > Software Update > Download and Install manually to see if it’s available early in your region.
