Not until they release he Exynos version of Oreo. If you flash the Snapdragon version it's bricksville for you...

for a carrier free device this is strange! are you on stock fw, or did you root your device?

YES IT DOES! For UN-branded FW, ALL carriers must approve that FW for release!

Because Sammy OS is heavily modded to their linking so it will take time for them to get it all up and running and then testing and then some more testing.

Maybe you haven't check it. Because since November I bought it I had received 3 updates. Last one yesterday.

If this is true, it makes perfect sense.
Not questioning your knowledge or honesty, but can you substantiate this statement, articles, links, 'knowledge base'?
Thanks

carriers release updates to use on THEIR network; it doesnt matter one bit who you bought the phone from..
thats common knowledge in the cellular world.. Google is the only sometimes "exception", but if their phones are sold by any carrier, i.e. when t mobile sold the nexus 6, it was T Mobile who released/approved updates, NOT Google

it does matter.
in Europe, if you don't get your phone through a carrier you get the F model.
while other variants get their updates through the carrier, F models always get their updates directly from Samsung.
until the note 8 the unbranded models(like the F models) where always first to get updates, because no carrier approval is needed.
edit: correction.
there are carrier specific F models, the carrier branding is in the csc in those cases.
any phone bought from Samsung directly or a store that isn't tied to a carrier will always have an "unbranded" csc in Europe.

I don't think Samsung will release monthly updates. They are the worst when it comes to updating phones.

Yep, got my U1 update yesterday for my unlocked by Samsung U1 device running a Sprint SIM.

December 1 update notice hit yesterday, installed today. Still not too bad.

New Update: 9.0.0.183 (Super Macro Mode)

Looks like an update is rolling out.
This has also fixed an issue with Google Pay, and CTS Profile Match failure in a previous update. SafetyNet passes.

Where are you from?

Yep, Australia. But the phone was purchased from UAE.
Not sure if that makes any difference though?

Based on my experience Samsung is a lot slower. In fact Samsung has just released it Android Pie update to its flagships which is more than 4 months after Huawei has released Android Pie on its Mate 20 series.
Previously had the P9, Mate 10 and now Mate 20 Pro and so far Huawei has been more regular with its updates something I didn't experience with so many Samsung flagships before.

Still on 171 in Singapore.

Try using vpn and set it to country of purchase and try... you might get lucky... i purchased from India and i set my VPN in Australia and received the update... As compared to UAE, mine was 735 mb or something which indicates in changelog that it is a stable update from beta version.

I got 171 last month in Dec 2018, as I Was traveling to India, as soon I reached India, the first day I got the .171 update. Which means for India its faster than Singapore. I am back in Singapore, so need to wait for the update.

I don't think it works that way. Otherwise you could just connect your Phone via VPN and get the latest updatets whenever you want.

Does it has some thing to do with the SIM card I inserted? An Indian SIM Card

??? USA PIE OTA Role out SM-950U1

Any ideas, should we spoof location?
Thanks

American carriers probably testing their bloatwares to work on one ui..

What good would spoofing your location do? European models are N950F. You're asking about the US N950U1. They're different phones, different firmwares.

The U1 will get the update last. The carriers still have to approve it before it can be released. And they will push the update to their carrier branded models first.

Hmmm...no warranty, no Samsung Pay, and not 100% compatible radio bands. Doesn't seem worth it to get a faster update. Especially since you can load the Pie beta on your N950U1 right now. It's very, very stable, by the way. I've been running Pie on my N950U1 for two months now.

Yes, these are valid issues. Cannot do European Version - You are right.

Question SM-G9980 HK Snapdragon. Anyone got the update?

Can we install the regular snapdragon update?

not got it yet. tried to vpn to other countries but still no joy

G9980 haven't received it too.

I had this version of the Note 20, and to begin with it got all the updates, but then it never got the big updates and became the forgotten stepchild. I hope that isn't happening here.

Sadly no region of G9980 got the beta update and no where got the September patch to sideload the update.zip
While China suppose to be the one of the countries to be in beta phase but there is no news yet for G9980!!

September is almost over and still no update

This is exactly what happened with the china note 20 ultra model. Quite frustrating.

Guys, Septembre is almost over and Samsung not pushing the September patch to 9980 while most of the eco and mid-range phones got it!
I think we the 9980 owners should be waiting for beta 2
There is no hope for 1

From my experience of owning the China/HK model of the Note 20.Ultra, there was never a beta when 11 came out, and while Samsung started out good with updates, it was the same as this ultimately. That's the price of owning this particular model.

In saying that, I've just checked the Korean firmware and it still hasn't got the September patch. Odd.

well this just makes me more disappointed reading this i never own these regions device before and i was hoping and looking in other threads that beta will possible to sideload but i think now no hopes.

I think that China is a REAL BIG market. So no one's want to break their phones) especially when holidays in there. That's my thoughts. And 2nd reason - no one works in holidays... Devs and testers etc

Meanwhile everyone already got October patch but we're still on August lol

In seriously thinking about switching to the US model which is now sim and esim since the beta.

and now we have AUI
but it's September's patch)

I never got that. Still in August...
