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.

You are reading about the S9 for ~January.
After that, there is the Note 9 (in the second wave of releases), then the Note 8 in the third wave of releases).
January....for Note 8, will not be happening. You are better off with April 1, 2019 as an April fool's joke.
Until then, you can still expect to get the monthly security patches.
The Note 8 will not get Pie until right before the Note 10 is about to come out. Just like when we got Oreo right before the Note 9 came out. Samsung is the worst on Android updates they are so far behind. The Note 9 launched with Oreo phones that came out a month after have Pie.
I dont understand why all the trouble about firmware updates, security patches I agree, but I get a device because I really like it as it is from the start, moreover, it is designed based on a certain android version, that is why sometimes the major updates create some sorts of problems, I really prefer the truly stable firmware the phone came with, but that is MY opinion

No. It is called "business". Samsung is in bed with your carrier to ensure you update the latest handset (so they both win).

I only buy flagship devices just to get the latest firmware updates (security patches and bragging rights). I just don't want a Vanilla Google device like the Pixel as I think it is incomplete. Google is "fixing" the fragmentation problem, so there should be no more "unstable firmware updates" as you are alluding to. If you were fair, you would admit that THOSE problems are caused by users who flash / update their devices, and don't perform a factory wipe, with a clean setup.

Anyone working on this for the Note 9 yet?
If we look at past experiences with Samsung, Given that last year's Android Pie has not officially made it to the Note 8 yet (more than 7 months after official release) and given that Q is not even out yet, you can expect release about 7 or 8 months after the official release. If we go by the patterns of just about every previous Samsung device before, it will be available by February or March of next year.

We just received official Pie... Q will be a long time.

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.

Little chance. Remember that, Note 4 Operating system
Original: Android 4.4.4 "KitKat"
First major update: Android 5.0.1 "Lollipop"
Second major update: Android 5.1.1 "Lollipop"
Third major update: Android 6.0.1 "Marshmallow"
Note 8 Operating system
Original: Android 7.1.1
First major update: Android 8.0
Second major update: Android 9
Third major update: why not?

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.
Hi everyone, I need your help. My company requires that my phone has an Android security patch within the last 2 months. Because of this, I had to get a new phone (old OnePlus 5t support ended a long time ago). I got a OnePlus 10 Pro. It is on version NE2213_11_A.17, with an Android security update date of August 5, 2022. This is older than 2 months.
My question is, how often does OnePlus generally release patches with newer Android Security versions? Is it a bad idea for me to have this phone - should I return it and get a Pixel 7 Pro instead (which has much worse battery life)?
I heard about Oxygen Updater (new to this), and it is showing an available update to NE2213_11_C.21. Will using Oxygen Updater consistently allow me to remain within the 2 months of android security update dates, do you guys think?
I am asking because I have a few days to return this phone, after that I'll be stuck with it. I hope to be able to use it for the full 4 years of promised security updates.
Thank you!!!
Lol, this doesn't exists. Unless you're using pixel phone.
There is no company that guarantee to update the security patch so often.
But OnePlus releases an update almost every month, sometimes it includes security patches.
Xiaomi also does every 20-35 days with security patches.
Just say to them and keep using it. There is no patches that need to be so urgent.
Companies just like the burocracy and thinking that they are fine. When on reality they're more vulnerable that they realize.
Unfortunately the Device Policy actually disables my work profile apps, so I have no choice...
Hum, undertood.
So you have to chose and buy a device or they will provide you one ?
Because if they won't provide, they should allow employees to use whatever device they want.
I am buying it myself. I just bought the OnePlus 10 Pro (coming from a One Plus 5t) because it seems to be better than Pixel. So I would prefer to keep it, if 95% of the time it will be within 2 months old android security update. Otherwise I should return it while I can and buy a Pixel 7 Pro (much worse battery life and slower processor as I understand)

Yes, I agree with you on that. I use to use pixel before but they're terrible I had problems with device bricking, battery life and it resetting itself from nowhere.
With O10 pro no problems so far..
I think your workplace has dropped the ball on this, you're going to struggle to keep that up to date.
It's possible you may be able to spoof this but you'd need to root etc.
If your phone isn't fit for purpose then they should provide you with a phone.
Further to this, I think you dropped the ball getting a OnePlus 10, not a great phone buddy.
Sorry

NE2213_11_C.21 security update ctober 5 2022
When it comes to security patches, if that's your only concern, get samsung or pixel. You'll get latest security patches every month.
OnePlus is not as fast unfortunately, they promised bimonthly patches, but it doesn't necessarily mean you'll get the latest one.
Not sure how it looks on 10 pro but on 9 pro we got e.g. august security patch in September (and that was an upgrade from may patch) so it was far away from perfect.
