Who said you weren't allowed to throw your phone out the window? And how exactly does delaying an upgrade to the OS make them more money?

you dont even need a phone to use oreo,so throw it out a window and then:

OP if you do throw your phone out of a Window make sure it's atleast 2 stories up. Also record and posted here for us. Samsung known for being lazy with updates.
Of course s7 and s8 already updating to oreo, they are 2 and 1 year old devices!

Make sure that you throw the phone naked. Better if you throw it across a concrete floor. Will make Oreos ooze out quickly .
2$ a pack of decent size Oreo pack. 1200 will generate roughly 500 packs.

Buy pixels and nexus type devices if you want timely updates.

O yeah. That sounds like more fun. Hopefully we see the pics once OP shares of this
Not for nothing but if OS updates were that important for you maybe the Pixel series would have suited you best? Yeah, it sucks users can't have everything they want/need but that's the mobile world we're living in. Samsung delivers the awesome, top of the line hardware but when it comes to OS updates we're left at the mercy of the OEM and carriers. With Google, you get some decent hardware but the OS updates are on point. Typically. Such is life.

Right now my Note 5 is running samsung s8 rom on its software.
Its fun with edge features and S Pen I Can put up all my daily tasks really well and fast with So Much customization In hand.
I live in a country where mostly Note 7 FE Will launch and its going to be 50% cheaper than the Note 7 originally was.
Do you think it would be worth buying Note 7 FE For Water Resistance,SD Slot? or just Wait for the Bigger Note 8 with Better Software update?
I don't know what will the Note 8 Bring to the Game.
I am already Fine with 5.7 Inch screen. Would 6.4 be good thing for an upgrade?
Both, one after the other!

I like the note 8 but the 6.4 Inch is scary.
I do love Big Phones but not that big lol.
Main advantage of Note FE It will be cheaper for me and will offer same camera as the note 8 also i can an SD Card with 128 GB SD Card.. thought the software will be outdated.

1)You are fortunate enough that its going to launch in your country while i am still waiting for Samsung's official commitment for my country India for N7 FE launch
2)If you ask me in case i will just say go for N7 FE until N8 Will be officially announced ATM everything is just in rumour mill like 6.4' display with dual camera setup
3)In India N7 never launched due to disaster happened before official launch so if sammy will announce and release N7 FE in my country i will surely buy this masterpiece until availability of next beast N8

I am not sure but mostly it will be released where i live.
Obviously they wont release in europe or usa cause they would want the note 8 to be more poppular.
But i think the note 7 fe would be a good discount to the note 8. Wouldn't you think. It will be half the price of the note 8.
But it will have no ROM Development thought.
And it would not have S8 Ported features like the Note 5
Luckily here we both are in Asia that means we will be getting note 8 exynos variant means it will have support for custom roms ??

I would wait for the Note 8. The Note 7 FE probably won't be getting proper updates due to not being launched globally. Get the Note 8 instead which will be a much better device to buy simply for the fact the Note 7 is already a year old.
The tiny bezels and the aspect ratio will make up for the 6.4 inches. Don't know where you got that the Note 8 would have the same camera as the Note 7, even the S8 has a newer sony sensor so that wouldn't make any sense. The Note 8 is nearly out so why buy an outdated phone?

Well note 8 is to much big, i had the note 7 2 weeks and dont have better phone since, had s7edge was a great phone, now i have regular s8, because s8 plus its too big, no matter what we do we always use the phone with one hand, and this crap od 18.5 /9 is worse,
Doesn't mention the horrible Fingerprint sensor that i can't use to.
In s8 it's the perfect size for one hand, but the screen is small, even s7edge is bigger, you have more screen to see videos and movies.
Imagine note 7 that 5.7 beautiful screen, Fingerprint in the right place, and can use it with one hand.
And the edges are perfect, nothing like the s8.
If i can put the hand in note 7 again, its a phone that i will never sell it.
I need to hardbrick note 8 due to increasing screen flickering after small damage. When the screen is off the damage is not visible(it was small push on the edge), so killing the phone completely would give me a chance for free repair/exchange. I tried to flash wrong rom with Odin, it is not working, fails every time. It fails via TWRP as well. The only thing was close to bricking is installing wrong recovery with twrp but this just leads to boot loop with red warning on top. It look like it is not possible to hardbrick this "tank" At least it is not as easy as it seems
It has TWRP and SuperSU (had magisk before)

One dishonest eBay seller was late with his phone case delivery and there were no cases at the time in the shops, so I had to go on holiday without a case

It's not about whether Samsung will ne hurt by you defrauding them, it's about how much is your integrity worth?
You are part of the generation thst accepts no responsibility. You have an attitude of entitlement. It's not YOUR fault you damaged your screen. It's the fault of an eBay seller because you didn't order your case in time. It's not YOUR fault you damaged your screen, its Samsung's fault for making a flimsy screen.
So because you damaged your screen, you want to defraud Samsung.
That is dishonest and you will receive no help here.

I am so torn between these 2. The price for the Exynos S9+ is insane compared to the SD, and I can also get my hands on a 256GB Note 8, but I don't want to buy a super awesome 1 year old processor. Looking for input.

Note 8 is not "outdated tech" , as others stated above, the really important thing is, do you use, like, need, love the s pen? Because the s pen is the very heart of a galaxy note, If the only reason for you is having the "latest tech" there are many options for you to choose, even in the vivo or huawei brands, in other words, if you have doubts, then the note 8 is not for you
Sticking with the Note 8 i cant justify spending another $900 plus after a few months with the Note...just waiting for the Note 9.

That ^ and lets say you on payment plan. You just had to put $200-300 down plus payments. With the galaxy s9+ you will have to do the same all over. Is it really worth a slightly better Note 8? I don't think so.
This Note 8 is a powerful phone good for 2-3 years, maybe more. Like others said wait for Note 9 or Note 10. I myself waiting for Note 10. The rumor specs of Note 9 seems to be nothing to jump out of your seat for.
If your 1 who wants hottest phone all the time, then go for it. It's your money spend how you want.
I love my note 8, I will keep it 'till note 10 arrives, when you are really into the note series, anything else seems capped, the s pen has no match!
I'm very partial to my Note 8 I did have to get the Galaxy S8 plus because of the Note 7 issue and it was a great phone but I'll wait for the Note 9 and Note 10,I also like the dual cameras on the Note 8 how they are side by side,not really liking the cameras on the S9 plus being one underneath the other,I know they are way better specs wise but it's just an aesthetic thing for me.
Lol @ when he said dated tech. LOL.

Same here. Love my Note 8, plus I'm not one of those to upgrade every year, the new features from one gen to next is not much, just a waste of money to upgrade every year IMO considering how much phones cost these days. I love the spen so I continue to buy Note over S if possible.
I'll be waiting for the Note 10, I'm betting they are planning to make a big improvement with it being the 10, well hopefully.
As was mentioned before, the Note 8 is far from outdated. Amazing piece of tech. I recommend to shop around to save some money.
Go for the 9 if you don't use the S-pen
I say outdated, because both cpu's are being replaced in the flagship lineup. Don't get caught up on the wording.
I decided on the S9 Plus, because I stopped using the s pen. I sold my S8 plus to help fund another device, and so I rolled back to my Note 4 in the meantime, and I haven't used the S pen once. Thanks for all of the input.
S9 if you don't need Spen. Note8 if you want Spen and save some money
I for one am tired of the "gotta have it! gotta have it!" with the new phones. The changes from phone to phone aren't worth the $900+ IMO. I will be keeping my Note8 until it breaks/starts tweaking out.

So in other words, we aren't going to use accurate wording that best describes what we are saying? You got the reaction that those words warranted man.
Dated is such an overstatement anyways. I actually considered buying a Note 4 for back up last night. $189 new at walmart.com.
coming to note 8?
I do not believe! Officially, you have to buy S9, but after Note8 gets Oreo, it can be done porting the S9 application on Note8.
Port
Is porting the app a relatively simple process? I have flashed my Note 8 to Oreo and I'm curious about porting the app.

No - Its not easy and the AR emoji was made specifically to work on the S9 - it probably will not work on the Note 8 at all...but maybe there is a developer who could work magic. Don't expect to see it for a long time

i just finished with a new update of my note 8 with oreo .. but unfortunately it doesn't support ar emoji
So the Note 8 definitely will not get AR emoji? I just got a notice few months ago when I'm not really into the note series I really want the 9 plus I should have waited. The note is too big for me and I like the fingerprint sensor on the nine.

Officially from Samsung, probably not.
Have you held a S9+ yet? It is a tad bit smaller than the Note 8 but not by much, pretty much the same. If you want to swap to a S9+ only because of size, you might be disappointed. S9 would be a noticeable difference but hardware is not the same as S9+

Yes I've held the S9 Plus we originally had the 7 Edge and wanted to upgrade but the 8 plus wasn't enough difference for us to upgrade. And then we saw specs of the note we got it only because it had the dual cameras an the 6 gigs of RAM and was the latest phone out plus Samsung gave us 300 bucks for our 7 edges which is the price we paid for them from Sprint on a two-year contract. But I knew the nine would be out in a few months and I should have waited. But we didn't know that Samsung would still be given $300 out for the 7 Edge so that's another reason we did it that quickly. I'm not really into the note series I have small hands and I never use the pen I don't like where the fingerprint sensor is.
The S9 plus has dual speakers with Dolby Atmos better camera the intelligent scan and of course the AR Emoji which I believe would like to have. Was going to sell my note and get the S9 plus but we just got our phones a few months back and my husband doesn't want me doing that and spending the difference on an S9 Plus so I'm hoping the note get some of the features of the 9. We've only had our notes for like 3 months I paid 650 and got offered 550 but then I'd have to pay 850 for a S9 plus unlocked so it's probably not going to happen

I have seen numerous videos and articles that all seem unanimous in suggesting people not upgrade from the Note 8 to the S9. They actually feel that it’s almost a downgrade because the only thing you are really getting is a better chip and the speakers. The S9+ is different where you aren’t losing items that the Note 8 has other than the S Pen, which in my opinion is a big loss, but you are gaining potentially a camera that’s better in low light. However, again every suggestion I’ve seen was to not upgrade. There was one person who said if you really don’t use the S Pen then maybe. I also wanted to point out what the other individual was trying to point out and that’s the difference in size. It’s S9+ at 158 x 74 x 8.5 mm and the Note 8 at 163 x 75 x 8.6 mm. So the dimensions are almost identical. You may want to hold them both in your hand. One suggestion I have for you is something that happened to me personally. When I had the Note 2 and the Note 3 was coming out, I had a friend who asked me if I was going to upgrade. I said honestly, no. I don’t really draw and really don’t use or need the S Pen. He proceeded to show me just a few things that I was unaware of and then suggested I look at a particular site and YouTube video. I ended up buying the Note 3 and everyone except the Note 5 because it didn’t have the SD card. I was completely unaware of all the capabilities. So before you pass on the Note series as a whole, I would just suggest you really learn all of the capabilities of the S Pen.
The other thing that doesn’t help is Samsung got rid of the old S Note in favor of Samsung Notes which is an inferior app. The original S Note came with Action Memo, Photo Note, Easy Chart, Idea Sketch, Scrapbook, etc. In my opinion it’s probably the best app ever for the S Pen and maybe even the best app period. I was going to say if you’re interested there’s a way to get it installed that I learned from another Thread in this site. However, I just updated my phone to Oreo and it messed up some of it. It looks like we can’t get Easy Chart installed and Photo Note looks to only work in landscape. But this just happened over the weekend, so I’m hoping that someone will figure out a solution. If you do end up with the S9+, I hope you enjoy it!

There is a post here where some guys teach how to enable scrapbook and all features and apps. Also I modded all those apps to work on nougat but I don't try yet on oreo because i don't need it now. You should try it; I'm agree with you, s note had been the best Samsung app with all features.

It seems that on oreo is really not working... to bad.
Thanks everyone! For now I am keeping my Note 8. My husband says we just got these 3 months ago and if I sell my Note and only get 550 I still have to pay the difference for the unlocked s9 plus. I just wish we would of waited but we didn't know Samsung would still be giving $300 for the 7 edge. But I have small hands and I know the 9 plus is big too I like where the fingerprint sensor is. I don't use the pen or know about other Notes and what they had but I do love my Note it's fast and I have no complaints and will be getting Oreo on my unlocked in the next couple weeks. All carriers have it now I read. But yesterday I did play with an S9 that was in this little Best Buy mobile at the mall and I made a gallery of like 18 AR Emojis and sent them to myself than deleted them off the phone so I could see what it looked like. I've seen a 9 plus on display too and yesterday he said here hold an 8 plus same as 9 plus. I wouldn't do a regular 9 cause of hardware but I was also thinking I maybe should just wait for the S10 and maybe it will be 5G ready.
We have Sprint and got unlocked so we could switch to another carrier here soon. But thanks for now I will keep my Note if hubby would of let me I probably would of done it though and got a purple s9 plus but I am not unhappy and I love my Note works great. Just hope battery stays the same or is better once we get Oreo. Cause I always had to charge my 7 edge at work in the lower level with no signal my Note I never have to charge.
I live in India and I'm thinking about getting a new phone. I have two options mostly, buy the OnePlus 8/8 Pro or get a used Note 10 Plus. What should I do? I will get the Exynos version of Note 10. I currently own a Galaxy S10.
oneplus 8 pro is the best android out there for now. saying this cause IMHO (as close to) stock android or oxygenOS is much better than OneUI and will ever be.
I am a Samsung fanboy, so I say get the note 10 as long as you can get one with a snapdragon processor.
dude I'm a s10+ user indian variant imo u should just buy op8 pro coz exynos is the ****tiest flagship processor u can get never buy Samsung flagship in india my biggest regret

Nothing against India at all, but you guys do tend to get ****ty Samsung hardware. ?
Go for the OP 8. I regret getting it. Battery life is...well, it's absolute crap on the S10 Exynos variant.
Keep in mind I'm comparing it to my Pixel 2 XL. The physical difference is only 100mAh less on the S10 but it feels like there's a lemon from your science project barely holding on to dear life in there.

yea bro Samsung is just milking Indians I'm thinking of switching to op8 or op8 pro if i get a good deal for this s10+
You either love Samsung or you hate it i guess ? the oneplus in specs wins it against the Samsung. I still would go for the Samsung. I love the updates they provide the last 2 years. And really happy with all the other stuff. Galaxy buds/galaxy watch. ect
It always amazes me when people want comparison of 2 or more phones nobody mentions the physical dimensions.
I went with S10 because I got the biggest real estate/ screen for the most compact size and still be able to use it one-handed.
