Hello,
I am about to buy nexus 6p. The main reason is the pure android for app development.
There is also the s7 edge for 50 euros more in my country.
Considering google stops guaranteed updates on September 2017 for nexus devices, does the s7 opens the possibility for continous support by updates and custom roms, so i can keep on latest features and stuff ?
Really need some help here.
Thanks a lot

If you want original android and Google`s guaranteed Update then you should go for Pixel devices (obviously if money doesn`t matter). Though nexus 6P is an excellent device,and the Nexus 6P is the best Nexus ever made, but it`s bit old(2015),though it has also excellent XDA support.
But my vote goes to S7 Edge.It`s an awesome device with faster processors, a better camera and a bigger battery to boot and full of features and excellent XDA support.google may stops guaranteed updates for Nexus Devices in future, but I think it`s impossible for Samsung to do the same for S7/S7 edge.But you`ve to spend some extra (as you`ve already mentioned).
Go for S7 Edge and hope you`ll not be regretted.
Now it`s your choice.
Had 6p sold because poor performance and Zero battery, buy s7 edge it is better phone
I've had both! I prefer the S7 Edge, and it's what I'd recommend simply because it's much newer, the camera is better and well, even though you don't get the speedy updates from Google via the Nexus 6P, Samsung are pulling their fingers out of their butts and they're improving it!
The S7 Edge will have longer support, be faster, better battery life, batter camera, better screen, more ram................hmm which one to get
Supportwise wait for the S8 since once that is released the S7 will be in second row.

yeah, I would love a pixel one, when it gets lower in price, maybe later.
I really don't see why you're "so confused". The very first thing that you say you want is "pure android", which isn't and never will be Samsung's goal or target market. And since that is your #1 priority, why would you consider a device that's 2+ years old?
I like my S7e. But you need a Pixel.?

Thanks for your response,
As I said in my first post 'is about google stopping updates' after september that's trouble me.
Sure, pure android is the way to go for me but i'm not gonna spend so much for a pixel atm.
As long s7 takes the nougat update or maybe even the next version that's ok with me.
Is there a chart or something for s7-s8 upcoming android versions/updates?
Go on Galaxy s7 edge.
is nice device and have alot custon rons and aplication.

Nougat is already on the way and the S7 will get Android O as well; just a question of time.

No and if it would not be reliable at this time.
However, for Galaxy flagships you can always count on release version plus two more (S7 was released with M and will get N and O, S8 will be N with O and P).
Google itself says two years for its devices which is usually release plus one and probably one more for its devices.

From what we know the S8 has the same camera and battery, smaller on the 8+ so it makes more sense to get the cheaper S7 Edge
But the S8 will have one year longer support and will be in the front row regarding updates once released.

Is it because when we get it our battery problems will be solved and battery life will beat note 5... Strange that full price unlocked phones still no updates but usa carriers have. Disgraceful really... One thing I really like about the iPhone upgrades are fast and for every model with support for older models at least 2 or three years
Santa will bring it.
I agree with you that Samsung are holding 5.1.1 for Note 4 and that's probably not to fix bugs but more likely because they want Note 4 users move to Note 5.
But I don't think Apple is the best example when it comes to updates. They usually release updates that have performances or battery life problem on older iphone's models and only newer models (or the one from the year before) can access to all fonctionalities.

That can't be true. The 5.1.1 update is only available in the US right now which is the only country (apart from Korea) that will actually get the Note 5.

Is it not normally the case that the clever folk on the XDA forums can make it so that the US firmware for 5.1.1 can work on the international variant 910F?

Shouldn't be too much work, but I doubt it would be worth it considering the official update could come any day now. Also Sprint and T-Mobile released the updates, not Samsung, so Samsung could still be holding back the firmware for international Note 4 customers. There's just nothing we can do right now, other than to wait for the update to drop. I'm going to guess we'll see it the same time the Note 5/S6/S6 Edge/S6 Edge Plus (how many top tier phones does one company really need?) gets updates to Android Marshmellow (which is running awesome btw on my Nexus 5).

Sammy have screwed things up with lollipop on the sd variants. To get it to boot you need the modem files from the same base. This means to get 5.1.1 tmob booted we'd need the tmob modem. Trust me I've tried every thing I can think of to get either the tmob or sprint releases to boot but no luck

I dont think so. Samsung wants you to buy s6 or Note 5... then u got themes when u pay cash
I don't think Samsung is holding back updates because of their selling policy. The usual customer doesn't know abou it. We on xda are keeping an eye on the updates, but we are probably just 1% and that isn't significant.

That is a valid argument, but most regular people at the store normally go for the phone with the newer android version, so even for regular Joes it matters.

I don't know...I'm just saying that my family is just buying the newer phones and they don't know what android version they are getting. I recently got my brothers note3 to use and he didn't update at all since he buyed it. And I think he's an avarage user.
The android versions are confusing for the avarage user, not like iOS. Google and Samsung and other manufacturers don't make such big deals of the updates like Apple does.
We've been waiting far too long for 5.1.1, I must say. Samsung truly have taken their time.
I've had the S2, S3 and S4, and never waited this long for updates.
I am loving my Note 4 more than any other Samsung...heck any phone in general I've owned, that is including more than my 1st smartphone, the Nokia N80, which I absolutely adored. Yet I can't help but feel Samsung is letting down what has to be their greatest smartphone in recent times with slow updates, its such a shame really.

Never waited this long for updates? Seriously, seems like you never owned a Galaxy Note N7000. More than 8 months waiting for the Jelly Bean 4.1.2 update and one year for Carrier Updates. The best treated Note was the Galaxy Note 2, which recived JB 4.2.2, 4.3, 4.4 Kitkat and even Lollipop was planned for it. But yes, now that the Note 5 is released, we need to wait a couple of months to see a big update for our Note 4. I'm pretty sure that Android 6.0 Marshmallow will be the last one, sadly, knowing Samsung and their update policy.
It is very simple. They delay 5.1.1 because of Note 5. They want customer have more reasons to upgrade, to buy their new phone. And if they do like 5.0.1, just upgrade OS core, no more features like on S6, Note 4 user will be disappointed with them. Many user want removable battery, better battery life option, sd card support so they will not upgrade soon!

You are right, this is the truth.
I will keep my Note 4 (KitKat 4.4.4), I downgrade from 5.0.1 because of bugs and I will not update my Note 4 to any new firmware unless it will be bug free as much as the 4.4.4 firmware.
that will lead me to change my mind regarding what is next after Note 4 (My next smartphone) ?!!!
I will think twice before buying something from Samsung, specially after using glass for building their smartphones.
Just wondering what everyone thinks...I surely hope so
I suspect they'll be concentrating on the next S8 and note 8 even more than before. They might even be looking at a rebranding. ( Samsung Extinguisher 8? )
I think/hope they'll focus on making next generation as good as possible and direct their Note 7 update team (if there is one) to the S7's for the time being, hence giving the S7 (edge) faster updates!
One more reason to push the Grace UX to s7 more quickly.
No point in not using it on any device.
This thought crossed my mind. I hope so. Although I feel like 15 Billion dollar debt has them preoccupied with a ****load of other things. The thought to even sell my device in case the S7 Edge is totally forgotten about also crossed my mind. I think both are equally possible with how Samsung runs their ship.
Was hoping for a flurry of updates including the UX and always on display

Hi everyone. I've crawled over here from the Note7 XDA sub-forum. This is my new home. I hope they do, and bring the new UI/UX to the Edge too.
Yes, until S8 comes

The Galaxy S8/Edge! We use nuclear reactor technology so you never have to charge your phone! Forget about the battery issues last year of the Note 7, that's long gone! I think you guys will love this.
Edit: NEVERMIND EVERYONE RECALL THESE PHONES NOW! PHONES BLOWING UP HALF THE COUNTRY!
Edit2: CNN: "North Korea buys all Galaxy S8's. Samsung no longer going bankrupt" Nvm, they only gave 1$
it should be interesting, but in a bussines view, is even worst look back on an older model instead of focus in the new one, so I don't think that would happen, also, samsung is focused in "cover" all the note 7 things, not because they want make it like never happened (despite they want xD), but cause they want costumers's trust again, so all the note team is sure focused on the note 7 things yet

I've been waiting for a long time for android 7.0 on my S7 edge , and im sure some of you do, does anyone knows when its coming out for us?
Jesse said that it should be here within a week or two.
Give Samsung some time. They just cancelled their N7, and the more time they spend with Nougat, the less bugs we will have. Of course they could give us a working beta like couple of days after Nougat came out, but would You want to see millions of force closes? I can't wait either but we have to.
I also think that it will be rolled out in the end of October.
Sometime between October 2016 - to March 2017 . I'd rather wait and it be right. Android tends to ship with lots of bugs. Remember the memory leak bug, the one google still hasn't fully fixed from lollipop.
When oems rush out android versions it becomes a mess. Look at lg. Nougat and marshmallow are plagued with bugs as they threw it out to soon

If history is any precursor to what we can expect, I'd expect Nougat after the S8 is released, and even then I'd only expect 7.0 and not 7.x. Don't buy anything but Google if you want to stay current on software.

People have to realize, there are 5 more months, almost half a year during which the S7 and S7 Edge will be the best that Samsung has to offer. The Note 7 failure ensures that Samsung will not repeat their usual updates history. I expect Samsung to put some extra work and time into the Nougat stuff for the S7/Edge. At the same time, they may also try to freeze their development in order to get their customers to buy the S8.
But as for me, if I don't see and update with the 3rd party notifications on AOD soon enough, I will just go with LG for the next iteration, I am almost sure that the LG G6 will avoid all the mistakes of the G5 and will be a great phone.

The rumours about Nougat is getting louder:
https://www.sammobile.com/2016/12/19/galaxy-tab-s2-running-nougat-surfaces-on-gfxbench/
My galaxy tab s2 wifi only (t710) is still in 5.0.2 on sammobile but thanks to flashing, I was able to get MM. Now I am worried that my tab s2 will not get a proper nougat update because the update rolls out only to LTE versions.
According to this source (https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-begins-rollout-of-android-7-0-nougat) the "Galaxy Tab S2 (LTE unlock)" will be included in the Android 7.0 update rollout for Samsung devices this year. Seems legit, considering it's from Samsung themselves
I think the S2 will get Nougat. It's just a case of when and how good it will be?
However, I also think that will be it. Absolutely no chance at all of getting Android 8.
Given my experience with Samsung tablets, I'm not even clear T813 will see an update to 7.x.
That would be 2 in a row for me (poorly supported Samsung tablets), and probably my last purchase from them.

The problem is, who else is making good spec Android tablets with Amoled screens? From my point of view, MM is running well and has been for the last 6 months. A Nougat upgrade would be nice, (especially for the multi window mode,) but I wouldn't loose any sleep if it wasn't updated. They do need to release a recent security update though.
As my experience with the One Plus 3 has been so good, I'd like to see them shake Samsung up by entering the tablet market. I know it wont happen but I can dream. :angel:

For me, take a OP3, put it in the tab S2 body and I'd happily pay £400 (~$450) all day long. Of course, it would have to be running OOS.

Out of curiosity, how much did you have to give for it? I got my 32GB T813 as an impulse buy for $399 the other day, and while I've seen used ones for less, it felt like a decent deal for a new unit.
Hi guys i just want to start a discussion.
Just an easy question what would be your biggest reason to leave samsung?
I love the samsungs design of the phones but that isnt my reason te leave samsung my biggest reason is the update policy it just sucks.
And if you would ask me what phone i want to buy its the first NOKIA P1 that will come out this year. I hope it will look like this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVkLj0xBLIk
Updates
Update policy, like anyone else.
The only thing remotely which would make me move away or not consider a Samsung device is if they release another exynos only device.
in the current time i won't be leaving samsung, the only reason to leave them is if they release a device with small battery, bad camera, bad screen, build quality.....these are really hard to happen ( battery?!)....the updates make me angry but still....sacrificing best screen, camera, build, beauty just for the updates isn't a reason. also, look at HTC, they started rolling 7.0 to the M9 then stopped, there is a lot of problems, LG isn't moving anywhere, nexus has bugs because they get the updates before fixing them....that's why i prefer to have a "late" perfect update than a "early" buggy update
Still dont know what is up with samsung dont they see everybody is hating their update policy why the hell they dont do somthing about that thats the big question to samsung.
And what very weird is that they release an update for the older devices like Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy Note Edge and Galaxy S5 security patch of januari and we are still stuck on the older patch just cant understand what are doing in that building do they even talk to each other?
I'm very curious what they will do with the update i hope its not a simple update with Nougat with the interface of MM and nothing more like they did with the s5 they have MM but with the lollipop interface -.-

All depends on what radio bands it supports, there's no news of any new exynos socs so far and the phone is not far away from release and samsung have bought a lot of snapdragon socs from reports so it very possibly might just be a snapdragon device only.

Come on man, apart from Google and nexus phones, maybe one plus, no other manufacturer will give upto date and regular updates. I'd rather have samsung take their time and do the update right, rather than rush it and have a tonne of bugs an then there will be even more complaints. In the past month many manufacturers had to recall their nougat update because there was bugs.

well i hope their is no bugs at the moment for 7.0 atleast for now otherwise its gonna take samsung another half year to release it :silly:
The biggest issue IMO is lack of international support. I purchased an S7 (all legit) while in Dubai, and had an issue with the screen (AMOLED burn in). Canadian Samsung refused to acknowledge the product because of said lack of int'l warranty. When I contacted Dubai, they said the model was made in Africa, so I would have to travel to South Africa (only Africa Samsung warranty location) to get my device serviced. I usually buy my phones second hand, when the price plummets and the 12 month warranty has expired, which is why I regret my S7 purchase. Oh well, Samsung has lost my business.
When I was buying phone bother me knox counter and lack of warranty after root. But there are many cases that warranty is approved in EU even after root.
I dont have really other complains, it's first time that I dont want to change phone after first year of use because everything works perfectly, especially with xtrastolite ROM.
Excellent display, camera, build quality, SoC, even battery is enough good for me.
Update policy is same for most companies, Samsung is not exception, also I dont expect some major changes and features in nougat.
