Anyone know if the Note 4 will receive the new Android Lolipop update? This will be my first Samsung device and was wondering how has Samsung been with keeping their devices up to date.
It will, anything beyond that is a toss up

I hope so. I saw the new Nexus 6 release and can't wait to see the Note 4 running on Lolipop.
The last Samsung phone I owned was the S4. After that came Knox and I didn't want anything to do with Samsung. But software updates weren't horrible. They also weren't great in timing.
As a previous Note 3 owner, I sure hope it comes faster than Kit-Kat did.
Samsung already stated that Android L 5.0 (Lollipop) will be coming to Galaxy S5 and Note 4 the end of Nov or first part of Dec.

If Samsung didn't release 7 million phones and tablets each year we might be able to get it a little sooner.

So we'll get it in 2017 most likely.
Id say more like 2020
Check sammobile last firmware for n910c was 01 of August and for n910f some day in July.
So guess when
Haha so ironic. Maybe we will got it nearly 2020.
I'd say 2220. And it'll be buggy and kill our batteries.

M? what about 5.1.1? Samsung, I hate you.
M will come in the beginning of 2016 in a version so bad that it will make your phone useless to celebrate the release of the S7.
Yes I'm a seer lol.
When?We wait Lollipop 5.1.1 and who know when we get,so M come but we dont be live or our note 4.
Android Lollipop was also confirmed to the note 2. xD
What I find very instructive is that GS5 isn't in the list. It will not even have 18 months of updates.
IMHO, if Samsung don't want us to buy their devices, they can just tell us. It's far more simple that showing us at every occasion that they don't care about their customers.
Android 6.0? I'm still waiting for damn 5.1.1.
I think Samasung talk some sh ite
Its gonna be a while before Huwaeis Nexus 6 or Note 6 (hopefully with microsd and IR, replacable battery comes out). So Note 4 with Android M would be sweet. Hopefully it will release by new year!

So I was looking at PhoneArena, and apparently, we're getting Marshmallow in February 2016. Link: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Road...evices-will-be-updated-to-Marshmallow_id75779

Add exynos model U to the list. I still don't have Android 5.1.1 on my n910u note 4. Looks like marshmellow will be a long wait.

I dont believe in this as in most of the cases samsung get behind the schedule...
But in some rare cases they actually get far ahead of the competition.
Example note 3(exynos)
It received lollipop before note 4.
So i think we(n910g) might get marshmallow in late december or early jan...
Or atleast get few leaked firmware.

Someone getting a test version by accident isn't the same as an official update. February is pretty far away, but I'll probably get the S7 if it comes with a 4K screen anyway so it doesn't really matter.
My god, a three month wait is an eternity for products with such a short life-cycle.

LOL! But yeah, Samsung update situation is pretty bad, esp with Note 4.
Just chill. I've been observing this pattern since 3 years. Whenever google releases an android update in october, it takes atleast 3 to 4 months for samsung to get it on their high-end phones. So expect marshmallow somewhere in late december or january.

been out since nov 1st. battery is great on 5.1.1
And by the time the Note 4 does get 6.0 Google will have out either 6.0.2 or be ready for 6.1, also not all regions will see it in Feb next year if that roadmap is legit.
The Simfree Note 4 in the UK for example will be lucky if they see it before the Summer next year.
I love Samsung phones but their update policy is dire, my spare simfree Galaxy Alpha only recently got 5.0.2.
I've now switched to the Nexus 6 as my main phone, & sold the Note 4 months ago because of the lack of updates.

Wrong. It doesn't means that you'll get 6.0 by february. If another update (6.0.1, 6.1.1, etc) arrives while the Touchwized 6.0 version is in development, it will be adapted to the lastest version. I.e we never had 5.0, instead we had got 5.0.1 and then 5.1.1 excluding 5.0.2. This means that if any other update comes out, 6.0 will probably be excluded.
Samsung is doomed to lose a lot of Sam customers with this.
1 They've decided to release phone with No SD Slots, No removable batteries and count all the N4 hate list!!!
This looks like my last Sam Phone
Man, I would lose my temper if the Marshmallow on the Note 4 is worse than the Marshmallow on the A-E series. I mean, seriously, A-E series gets themeable Lollipop while we're stuck in old TouchWiz? Freaking blasphemy!
It's the latest.

So Nougat is released. My guess is it'll take more than 1 YEAR for us to taste Nougat on Note 5. The only reason Sammy sucks.
And cuz we have Exynos no third-party ROMs too:/
I don't know where are you from but on earth Samsung delivered MM to note 5 in 5 months after release date.
I am hoping they will take around 6 months this time as this is no more the latest device.

I doubt it because in 2017, that's beyond's note 4's 2 year support. 2016 is the end. and also, if you look at the Note 3, it got its last update in dec. 2015 and it is still 5.0. That was "27" months of support for the Note3.
Using the note 3 as the base, if we were to get android 7, we would have to get it by dec. 2016.

Yea your right. But that is assuming Samsung release Android 7 "on time". Looking back at Android 6, it came out of Google on October 2016. The first note 4s got Marshmellow around June 2016, 8 months after Google released it. But this is still within note 4's 2 year period (note 4 came oUT on Oct. 2014).
Since android 7 was released in Aug 2016, this means that Samsung has around 4 months to release Android 7 to us before 2016 is over. Looking at the past examples, now do you see why I doubt we will get it? Of course this is all my speculation and I'll happily be wrong if do end up getting it.
Samsung mostly gives 2 major system updates to any flagship phone.
Since gingerbread i have been observing that every two version of android looks similar .
Excluding honeycomb cause it was only for tabs.
That also explains why every two versions of touchwiz look similar.
Gingerbread and ICS had many similarities, jelly bean and kitkat had similarities and also lollipop and marshmallow.
This is why the odd galaxy notes(1,3,5) have always been lucky .
There last update isn't similar to previous one , infact there is a major change in terms of UI and features.
For eg. Note 1's last update was jellybean , which was completely different than ICS .
Same for note 3 , whose last update was lollipop , a major upgrade over kitkat .
But unfortunately the even notes have been unlucky.
The note 2's last update was kitkat , which wasn't a big upgrade over jellybean , the UI was almost identical.
And as for the note 4 ,its last update is marshmallow , which samsung decided not to modify for note 4 and hence looks similar to lollipop.

It wont receive android 10 or ui 2.0. Dunno about any ports for it from other devices
So I'm stuck with what's on here now. I just cant see spending another $1000.00 for a new phone. Its getting ridiculous with all these new devices coming out.
I think that S8 doesn't deserve Android Q because it has like 3 years old but Note 8 just had 1 year and 11 months when android 10 final was released.

Both the SGS8 series and the Note 8 were both released in the same year. The old differences is that the SGS8 was released earlier than the Note 8. That said they both run on the same hardware with the exception that the Note 8 has the S-Pen.

This sounds good on paper, but it is still an "old" device (in 2020) that will soon suffer a similar (unsupported) fate to the Note 8 in a few more months.
I believe Samsung is in the business of primarily selling only new phones, so I suspect the Note8's performance may become throttled like an old iPhone in the monthly security updates.
I can't consider selling my Note8 to buy a Note9 for a few dollars more when they are basically the same thing just to get Q. I'm not yet seeing a feature in the Note10 to make me part with my money other than the eye-candy interface.
Q is not worth spending extra cash for. Have tried it on my N9 and N10 and went back to Pie on both. Just my opinion others love it. I still use my N8 and it is still one of the best devices out there in 2020, but let's face it Samsung only gives 2 major updates to a device so S8 Note 8 will not be getting it. Can it support it??? I'm sure it can but Samsung wants to make money by getting boneheads like me to purchase a new device.

Yes both have same hardware but Note 8 has 6GB RAM and Dual camera and the S8 4GB with a Single camera. I think that a mobile that was release near 2018 by 1000$ deserved Android Q. Samsung policies must change in the flagship.
What's even worse is I'm running a Touchwiz Android 9 rom with Android 10 apps on my 6 edge plus. International device used here in United states with wifi calling..video calls..advanced messaging and volte. My point is if the old 6edge plus can handle this there is no reason the S8 or N8 cant. But I just dont see it happening. Many will read this thread and ask what's the point. But I like to see things like this talked about even if it doesn't go anywhere.

It's not financially viable to support an old device for another year... It might make people NOT shell out $1000+ for a new device if the operating system is the same & officially supported....
It takes a special breed to root, flash and enjoy the fruits of our labour that most people WON'T do with a device that cost a large chunk of cash. Hell, most people don't even know what Android 10 is.
The average consumer has no idea how, or why it's a good thing to use the latest operating system...
Yes this was the point I made before. It's all about $$$$[emoji16]. And you are exactly right, we are a rare breed on xda. Most people get a device because it looks good. Not because of battery..display..themes..roms...root..disable this keep that...camera...lol its shiny so I'm buying it.

I don't think those articles about the Note 8 getting Android 10 is incorrect. As the Note 8 has already received 2 major android OS updates. However we should still receive security patches for android Pie.
