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!

I'll believe it when I see it. Samsung can't even clean up their act when it comes to Lollipop.

910F. Int version
Incredible to me how much time and emotion is spent feeding the rumor mill.
Keep dreaming, this is freaking unbelievable QUALCOMM's Note 4 already in 5.1.1 and Exynos which is the international Unlocked, nothing, Note 4 will never see android M other than ported rom, or CM
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 thought the software will be outdated.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 am thinking about buying it but I am not sure yet since I read that it's harder to develop roms for this device and I don't want to be stuck on android pie when the next android version comes out because of that. What I want to know is if it would be a good idea to buy it if I want to keep it for a few years (3-4) or should I buy another phone?
I can tell you this:
The note 8 is an excellent device, I think pie will be the last major firmware update for it from samsung , I skipped the note 9, as I think a two year cycle is adequate, in your case, it is ultimately about how much money you are willing to spend, you can get a new note 8 very cheap, but if android Q and the next one is of so much importance to you, then get a note 9 or wait for the note 10 that I expect to be formidable
If getting note 8 and want root and custom roms then go for SM-N950F / F/DS / N (exynos soc versions).
Stay away from the USA/Canadian versions SM-N950U/U1/W they have locked bootloader.

Thanks for the info. I am also considering to buy one since it's a well built phone and is cheap now. I don't really care about the android but Samsung gave pip on nougat so I guess I won't miss out any new features and I will have a secondary mi a1 which has been through rigorous flashing of roms:silly:

i'm in the Same case. I've Skipped the note 9 and waiting for the 10. And as you said, the note 8 is excellent "and can still run for a long time for all the peoples who don't care about the newest tech and the lastest useless features. I mean, why 3 or 5 rear Cameras when the note8 shots very well with its actual config. it's just an example
Is the battery still good guys?
Samsung said it will still hold 95 percent charge after 2 years is that true?
Is the fingerprint sensor really as bad as they say?
My note 8 is 16 months old, and the battery is as good as day one, accubattery reports that it charges up to 3325 mAh, and the fingerprint sensor is always accurate, it reads in less than a second, but this is MY experience

Android Pie will be the last major update for the Note 8, but it should keep getting security updates for another year or so. If Samsung doesn't release Android 10 firmware, then it can't be ported to the Note 8. There's no AOSP projects for the Note 8, so that won't be ported, either.
If you want to get a device that will keep getting new Android version updates, rather get a Pixel device. If you get the Note 8, you get it for the added features Samsung provides, and not because of their update schedule.
I guess, ultimately, it's down to whether you always want the newest version, or whether you want certain added features. Myself, I prefer the features the Note 8 provides. I'm happy staying on Android Pie for the next year or two until I decide to upgrade my device again to the then latest Note device.
If you shop around you could probably get a Note 9 for a excellent price. However if you are strapped for cash, then the Note 8 is an excellent device. I purchased the Note 8 shortly after the SGS9 series release and I am perfectly happy with my decision and will probably be using it until the battery starts to degrade.
We know that the hardware is identical but will it serve for our note 8?
Maybe in a custom rom version is it safe but officially?
what do you think?

IF the S8 does get Android 10, I am quite sure it would come to the N8 too.
I think we deserve it after putting trust back in the note series after dodgy batteries.
That is just a unconfirmed rumor. However if it does prove to be true then the Note 8 should also get Android 10 as well.
Hope N8 dont go Andoird 10, i think actualy N8 its very stable like it is! Hope it last more 3 years like this

Samsung will probably continue to provide security patches for the Note 8 running on Pie anyway in the future. So it should be fine.

That's just the monthly patch. I don't anticipate an Android 10 update for even the S8, as Samsung is in the business of selling new phones.

Yep
Was just elaborating on the security patch release.
I doubt we will get A10 for our N8.
The Open Handset Alliance stipulates that manufacturers should support firmware updates for (Android) devices for the first 18 months. The Note 8 is older than that. Since our (international) Note 8's get the security updates directly from Samsung, we can continue to expect only the monthly security patches. Carrier-branded Note 8's are at the mercy of the respective carriers for the security updates.
Personally, I don't see a benefit to switch to a Note 9 to get this update (from a hardware perspective).
I'd probably do a Note 10 in 2020 because I feel my Note 8's internal battery will stop holding charge then, and screen-burn in may be an issue at that point. My Note 8 is still in mint condition, so I'm trying to find a fault with it .
---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------
Samsung can always argue that they migrated us from 7.1.1 to Pie (and are still giving us security patches).
Very Cool! I read up a bit. Who knows if it is true or not. IF so I might just keep my trusty old s8+ which rocks btw instead of getting a note 10+ or a s20 just yet.

Samsung does. Omitting the Note 10 from all published list of devices for an Android 10 release would be a good indication.
Right now, I'd jump ship and get the Note equivalent of the S20 Ultra, only for the 100x camera, but the screen is too big to fit my average pocket, and the price is currently out of my reach.
Does anyone know if the Note 8 is getting any more major updates and if not is there any mods to get the latest software for the note 8?
Thanks

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.

You know the Note 8 in Europe sells for about 329€ (VAT included) now right!? Buy a Note 9 (for 400 and something) and you'll get Android Q

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.
