Android 8.0 is coming! Samsung Official - Galaxy S6 General

Hey guys! I don't know if you already heard it but Samsung is going to release 8.0 for the S6 and S6 edge as well? I just love it
Source:https://www.sammobile.com/2017/11/24/samsung-reps-say-galaxy-s6-will-updated-android-8-0-oreo/

These reps are just full retards who speak nonsense 24/7 & even more if they're Indian reps who just lie blatantly.
Although we all would like official Oreo, it's 99% never going to happen!

There are more sources saying that S6 WILL get Oreo.

https://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-oreo/
There is even more I'm sure.

They are not sources, just articles related to the same source already cited here, people from Samsung support center, not the official statement from Samsung.
In this case, seeing is believing. I don't think we'll ever get official statement that Oreo will be supported for S6, it's either it will or it won't, only time will tell. Certainly if it ever comes, it won't be before March or even April.

Been Confirmed by Samsung Turkey

You are right, they are all using one source, I messed up. Still, they are not saying there's a chance, they are confirming it's gonna happen and they seem confident. I'm sold. If it doesn't happen then I won't consider them a viable source of information anymore.

I'm still not convinced. It might even be that they plan to update it to Oreo, only to be cancelled at some point.

Maybe at 99% of Oreo completion a plane will crash in the house of developers and they will all die and it will get cancelled.

May I know what website is that? Thanks

Although I'm not sure if this is going to be real, it's technically possible. There's a phone called Galaxy A8 2016. Since the 2015 models of Galaxy A Series got Nougat, that device would almost certainly get Oreo, and it has similar specs to the S6 (Exynos 7420, 3GB RAM). It wouldn't be too much of a job for Samsung to support S6 too.
Maybe we could port Oreo from the A8 2016 if Samsung chooses not to push Oreo for S6..

Guys don't be so pessimistic...
The Galaxy S6 is still a very good and strong device. It is a Milestone and it deserves Android 8.0. They are probably updating it to 8.0 because they want to Change their update polity and thats really great. Be happy, at least they consider to update the device and do not cancel the update. They also could have said "No the S6 won't receive 8.0" but they didnt!

Thanks a lot mate :good:

Oooo such intresting news about new software update. Galaxy s6 will may get android 8 oreo.
I have a perfect matched gif for this
Why samsung need to waist extra time and resources on a such "failed" device when they already are orientated at quantity instead of software sussport ? Battery is terrible, probably 50% of users already in 1/2 years of use switched to other device, like galaxy s7 or s8 or other one with better battery. Because.. I truly believe a lot of users was like , - pissed of with 3-4 max hours screen on time.
There is no point for them to do this. When they already released a lot of new devices with new android version etc and also with upgrades like biger batterys, galaxy s7 etc. As samsung stated, they provide 2 years of software updates. Thats it. So they what ? Changed theyr update policy somehow ? Where updates then, refreshed policy about this that they changed theyr own rules ? No official news from samsung, nothing.
Samsung turkey, samsung other or else etc.. who cares about them ? Samsung turkey once stated about nougat update when s6 will get and they lied about date when it will release, delayed a lot. And now states about oreo ? Haha.
I dont believe either of them. They just writing what they want witchout any facts or confirms. Again.. - rumors without trusted source.

I don't think that you anything about the S6. Why? Because in your opinion it's a failed device and the S6 is one of the best Galaxys you can buy. It is better/more premium than Galaxy A/J 2016/2017 lines.

There is point for them to do this as they wan't to support their devices for more than 2 years to remain competitive with the like of Google and Apple. Yeah Samsung Turkey lied about the date but hey Nougat still came! I think Samsung CS counts as trusted sources, verified by multiple reps in many different countries!

well, i had already known that... with too many issue from 4.4.x and their issues with the S6 and other lolly poop issues, i expect august plus or minus a month. i hope it works better than kit kak, so i can replace the updated tablet's 4.4.2 with 5.0 and sell it for a profet.
I love meterial design. Hope this release will out soon
I had saw the usual sites saying it was coming but that was way back last year and hadn't seen any new info recently so I figured it was squashed. With all Samsung's phones getting updated now, I would assume shortly after summer too.
Yea, this device came out in April 2013. It is now May 2015, well outside the 18 month support window. Keep dreaming guys, ain't gonna happen.

Correct, but official Samsung Denmark said it will get, but depends on region by region. Also heard Note II won't be getting it, but Samsung Korea said it will be getting lollipop (depends which version of Note II).
so it is really hard to say if it is getting it or not, but I still have some hope, it may see lollipop.
Talking about CM 12.2 nightlies, it is buggy and its ugly, but that's personal preference of course.

Even if some region cant get lollipop, just flash the one that get it lel .
dont even talk about cm12.1, so many bug even at application level there's something unresolved yet. not to mention the screen glitch, camera & call. the worst part, sleep animation.
It would be great if they could get the official Lollipop release to our tablets, however the CM versions are pretty decent at the moment.

Looks like Galaxy Note 2 will be getting Lollipop, if you think that, this device is released in October 2012, and our Note 8.0 released around April 2013, this may give us a little hope that our device may see lollipop, of course we never be sure for 100%, but at least there's still a little bit hope...

Now that the Note 7 is dead, will Samsung accelerate the S7/Edge Android 7 updates ?

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

they will. S7/edge is now first in line for software development. The king (note 7) is dead - long live the king (S7/edge)! :laugh: at least until S8 come out next year
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

[DISCUSSION] What would be your reason to leave samsung?

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.

Talk now is the S6 will be getting Android 7 soon, the S8 will be out in a few months and yet Samsung is sitting back releasing Android 7 through a bottle neck...........if they want to treat customers in this manner fine but I wont be party to it again, like last year when other countries and networks got Android 6 before the BTU beta users!

Well you could argue a few ways.
One - would you rather have rushed software with bugs, or tested software that works?
Two - there are a few models from the Samsung line so newer should get priority over older.
Three - Samsung should release less devices to show work on upgrades for existing users. Most people will upgrade at end of contract, which in most cases is 18 months to two years. So having a new product every two years will lead to better tech than the predecessor and a more unified user base with devices and more satisfied customers.
Sadly, business works on ever growing profit margins, so having a two year gap in growth would look bad for investors and other companies could surpass Samsung in growth in that time making the new models cost more to make up the previous years loss.
You could argue yes but its even out of the Oneplus 3 now, I wont be wasting hundreds with Samsung again..........oh and it wasn't really an argument you gave because Samsung has tested it, their just dripping the final release so only a handful of people have it

Well, I'm going to post from the other side of the tacks on this one. I came to the S7 Edge from a 6P. I was even part of the beta program and got updates faster than anyone else. You know what? Whoopdeedo. There was nothing even in the last release version of N (7.1.1) that I had on the 6P that this S7 Edge can't and didn't already do long before it was put into vanilla Android. The upgrade to N will come to the S7 Edge shortly. Even here in Canada where updates seem to take forever from carriers, it is noted as coming soon, so we should see it in the next month or so.
But really, this phone is already performing so much better for me that the 6P ever did and has everything software wise and more than I ever had with straight N Android. Not sure why the updates are seemingly so important to some. This phone works great right now and my battery life is off the charts compared to the 6P on the latest version of N. Besides, N is coming to our phones shortly as well. As someone mentioned above, because it is taking longer, at least it won't be riddled with bugs and battery drain like on the 6P for me.

You have to understand that carriers may release their updates later than Samsung., even thigh Samsung have tested.

Just wait. It's not hard, the update will come when it is due. If you are that eager for it then flash the BTU version. Samsung has their own way of releasing software, just like every other OEM.

Well, don't speak for everyone. I'm with Rogers here in Canada and they JUST posted "Coming Soon" on their website. So it's only been about a week or so since my carrier has said it is coming. Not Samsung's fault the carriers take forever to get their crap in there and test their version.
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/tech/news/575565/Android-Nougat-Samsung-Galaxy-S7-update-release-date
Like I said I wont be giving hundreds to a supplier that extracts the urine like this, I might even get the Oneplus 4 when its out, they've released it for the 3 now
I got fed up waiting for Singapore to update to Nougat, so I just flashed, with Odin, the Malaysian Nougat update, using my Home CSC. Worked perfectly, not data lost. My phone is not rooted
Well, the unlocked version in US is independent on carriers and does not has Nougat yet. It is not the carrier's fault if Samsung has multiple versions of the same phone and decides to update only a subset of all the versions.

No doubt there are bugs they can't fix and that's the real question: why samsung with their multimillion budget to hire skilled devs can't provide quality software update in time? Not to mention how many people replaced they catching fire note 7 with s7e... good strategy to treat all of them like that. Let's not forget that in 2017 even the normal user is becoming more and more aware about updates and their importance about his experience. After all, they can afford to hire more than one A team working on their flagship phone and attach it to s7/s7e development. If the patch BTU update works well I can guess they will start to roll out around the mid/end next week. Still, for me this is a really bad rollout, especially if we consider the beta test period.

Galaxy Tab S2 (2015&2016) - Official Android 8.0 Oreo Update News

Hey guys!
I don't know if you already heard it but the Galaxy S6 lineup will probably receive Android 8.0. Many Samsung employees confirmed that and there is already a leaked list of devices which will get the update. Today I noticed that not only the S6 was mentioned on that list... the Galaxy Tab S2 will probably receive the update as well! In my opinion it is really great to see that the first premium devices from Samsung will get another update
What do you think?

What do I think? Your post is misleading. This is nothing official...
Indeed nothing official. It's mostly rumors and leaks at the very best. BUT I wont lie, I want this to happen and that'll be awesome!

I wouldn't get too excited. That list is just devices that could potentially run Oreo. It does not mean they will actually get the update. There's a good few on there that I'm certain wont. Would you really think the Tab series would get Oreo when they didn't even get nougat or Marshmallow?

Right, it looks like I misread the image. It seemed that the original Tab series was included. In reflection its actually the header. :silly:

I made the same mistake when I saw it the first time?
Maybe we will get Samsung Experience 9.0 with the update. It would be very great to get some S8/S9 UI feauters
If Samsung's track record holds of two major version updates per flagship device, the 2016 Tab S2 should get Oreo. The 2015 may or may not - I guess it depends on whether Sammy is feeling generous.
I'm not sure who would hope their device doesn't get the update? While it's possible Samsung could pull an Apple stunt and kill performance with an Oreo update, that generally hasn't been an issue. In reality, it will just be security patches and support for newer apps. The days of new Android versions bringing sea changes of improvements appear to be in the past.

I agree Samsung seem to give 2 major updates to their flagships and higher spec devices.
The S2(2) should get Oreo. I'd say unlikely the S2(1)will see it.
As a 2015 owner, all I want for the last major update is a stable build without any major bugs. From then on, I'd just like the same build with the security updates. The current Nougat is pretty solid but the screen brightness does keep going up and down on some occasions.
i would love to see something for the 819N, i mean there isn't even any custom roms for that version of the tablet, i hope at least samsung goes oreo for it.
How you get it ? What is the name of app ? @edan1979

Probably 2016 model can hope for it because it has been shipped with 6.0 and also is not sure...but 2015 model should kill the idea because has been shipped with 5.0.1. Even if we could run oreo Sammy will never give a third major update to a 2015 device, even if the only difference between 2015 and 2016 is the CPU (correct me if i'm wrong)
I think it's crazy how Samsumg abandons its own products. I can understand their budget devices getting updates, but this is their only tablet line. Not to mention they were selling these for $400+ a pop (i got mine out of a pricing error for $200 though).
Just shows you that iPad should be the only tablet product to purchase from here on out... I think the last year and a couple months I've owned this it's been updated a whopping 3 times! Never again will I buy Samsung.

How do you mean their only tablet line? There's also the Tab A, Tab E, Tab pro, plus older Tab 2, 3, 4 etc.
