Samsung is testing the Galaxy Note8 with Android 7.1.1 Nougat on board

15 June 2017
This could mean that the phablet will launch running this version and not the upcoming O release.

          ithehappy, 16 Jun 2017Who said anything about iPhone? S8 can't even keep 60 frame... moreits true - I recently bought samsung s8 - which looks really awesome.
          And believe me - thats it - nothing else is good there
          - in search (app drawer) - keyboard appear after 3/4 secs.
          - games are terrible (with that horrible so called "Game mode") - almost game will stuck (go to samsung store and see yourself).
          -almost everything is duplicated - google now, keep, etc etc - they terribly copied iOS note, reminder etc (see in google play)
          - Bixby - like other I am also trying to unbind from the dedicated button- what a success Samsung :-)

S8 can't even keep 60 frames, read some reviews here and there about the consistency of frame rates and then open your mouth. Even One Plus 3 maintains much more consistent frame rates than S8. So yeah, try something else.

                  Worst possible UI experience made possible by Samsung.

                    Another explosive crap. Lol I'm kidding. Let's wait and see.

                      Obviously, if it was with the O already from out of the box, it would be definitely better. But unfortunately the timing is not right, sadly (both rumoured, etc, to be launched in August). But hopefully it will be updated to O sooner rather than later, at least.

                              K u k, 15 Jun 2017Guys, dont buy Samsung devices because Samsung dont upgrade... moreGo home with your cheap Tab E Lite. OBVIOUSLY hey don't update their cheapest device! Everyone does that! And if you care that much about software, then why the heck are you buying a pre-outdated device? That thing was launched last year with KK 4.4, while the full-fledged Tab E has 6.0.1, and might get N. However, except from the new UI, you get absolutely nothing with N since most features are already in TouchWiz, some since 4.1.x.

                                Should bring 8.0.
                                Otherwise, do not expect it before late january.

Does your PC's motherboard come with updates 3 years after it has been released? Nope, didnt think so. Time to Upgrade!!!!
