Seems unlikely to be correct

That list is wrong or incomplete the Tab S2 is not even on it.
John.

Don't know where you got that list from, but it's far from correct.
Note 5 Duos, S6 Active, S5, Tab S and S2 and more should be listed.
And I'm wishing for Note 3, but unfortunately it's very unlikely.

I found the same list here.

John.

This is not an official list from Samsung, at this point Samsung doesn't even know when Android M final sources will be ready, not to mention it will take ages to integrate touchwiz and all its features.
One example is Samsung former flagship Note 4, which is still on a very buggy 5.0.1. (10 months after Google release date).
Looking at Samsung firmware release history, you may end up getting Android M by July 2016 (if you're lucky!).

I never trust anything out of Yourmobile. Where do they get their info? Sammobile is a better news source.
I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung doesn't update the Tab S to Marshmallow. The Galaxy Tab Pro (predecessor to the Tab S) came out in 2014 with KitKat 4.4 and later updated to 4.4.2. Lollipop was never released for it. I had a Tab Pro 8.4, which I install CM12 to get Lollipop.

I think: 40% will update, 100% not. But we have cm, fortunately...

Yep we will hopefully get a cm port

they did it last time to the predecessor Galaxy Tab 7.7. It was one hell of a device but being abandon big time by Samsung. They likely doing the same **** again. Its Samsung.

Where is the stupid Tab S2

The german AndroidPit.de wrote, Samsung has confirmed this list. [emoji17]

For Samsung smartphone is their first priority, as for tablet, it a one off, may be 1-2 update a year, then it's a new tablet on the market, and the others get obsolete and thrown to one side.

Those list are for initial devices. The galaxy s4 received lollipop before the note 4 and it wasn't on the so called list. So please stop arguing about something only Samsung will know. Also even if we don't get android 6.0, there will be other methods available as with all android devices.

How about 5.1 at least? Seems this device is neglected by Samsung. I'm having a slight buyers remorse for my Tab S 10.5. Slight...

Perhaps they'll be adding more devices as they start to roll out M updates. But if it happen that this tablet didn't make the cut, then I'm done with Samsung.

Slow down... I would be amazed if Samsung didn't update this tablet.
They still out there updating old ass phones S4, N2... Now they might not get M, but they need to upgrade anyways.

Samsung definably has their own timing when it comes to updating their gauntlet of tablets. In fact, when you look at their lineup of U.S. models, you can see their update history for their entire line of U.S. tablets are the same. With the exception of newly released tablets in the last three months, all of their other tablets still being sold are just on 5.0.2.

Marshmallow Update Roadmap released

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
What do you think about this?

No Exynos (C/H/U) love?

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.

Note 5 is getting the update as we speak, a user posted it in their section

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.

Does anybody have news about Note 5 update?
Even my potato is now running android M, and my Note 5 is just on the waiting queue .
Dumb Samsung.
They better do it well this time, or I have to leave Samsung galaxy series till the end of my life. :crying:

samsung is fast in making identical looking models, they are best in hardware but epic fail in software.

Can't say that I'm surprised. But our phone would have benefited from a better, more system wide multi window.

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.

Will we get Android 8 on the Galaxy Tab S2?

Will we get Android 8 on the Galaxy Tab S2?

maybe 2016 edition- t713 719 813 819...

I've waited for this thread to emerge... And it took only one day. Ask Samsung.

Yeah I don't think for the 2015 edition will get as we got 3 major OS upgrades ..

Very sad if that's true [emoji24]

I was thinking that the 8" version may get it, whilst the 9.7" may not. The 8" is still the 8" flagship device but the 9.7" has been superseded by the S3.
Regarding Exynos vs Snapdragon, for the Exynos 2015 version, will be interesting to see what happens to the note 4 (which has the same chipset?)
Knowing Samsung, if any of our devices do get it, we will be waiting until summer 2018.

The Tab S2 9.7" T819 has a possibility of getting Android 8.0 Oreo because mine only had two updates. The updates included Android 7.1 and Security updates. The next update might be the Android 8.0 Oreo because i think the maximum updates for each mobile made by Samsung is 3 since my parents' phones had already updated 3 times
