The idea of seamless update by google in Android 7.0 ensures to elevate the User-friendly experience

In case of Marshmallow some user interaction was involved before an update is being downloaded and is equally time taking. This takes a fairly long time because of the way the files are copied and moved — it’s a bit-by-bit transfer. The files actually are moved to memory in chunks, erased from their original position and rewritten to the new position. This is the best way to make sure nothing gets corrupted while it’s being installed.

With Android 7.0 Nougat, your phone will update in a use friendly manner. All the downloading and copying of files will be done in the background while your phone is still accessible and once it’s finished you will be notified that your system will upgrade the next time you reboot your phone. And flexibility of the runtime compiler mean that you don’t need to sit through the process of updating all of your apps when you reboot.

How Seamless update Works

With two different system partitions on a Smartphone. When using a phone that can perform seamless updates, all the unpacking and transferring is done while one system partition is running, and things are copied and moved into the second partition.

Once all the processing is over you can reboot and use new system partition. This process is done without moving or renaming the partition as they are numbered.
