Samsung - updating to 7.0
Sony - updating to 7.1.1

Samsung, go home.

    Apolodor, 22 Jun 2017Well done samsung... a3 2015 1gb will get nougat and alpha ... moreAlpha is 2014, too old dude, S5 Neo is also 2015, it's a S5 Neo, not a S5 Mini so why can't it be updated? The S5 Neo has the same CPU as the A5-A7(2016)
    The J series doesn't have glass in the back I think.

      Oh really, good then.

          Still you will find Galaxy alpha more feature lodded and product you then iPhone 6. Apple updates are joke.... They are just marketing strategy... With each update to get new bugs

            Well done samsung... a3 2015 1gb will get nougat and alpha is completely ***** up and now you are also updating s5 neo to nougat ???
            I'm sorry , but for now, I don't care about phones anymore. 6-8 gb ram which I don't get it. Glass everywhere on samsung. What can I say? R.I.P alpha and R.I.P good old samsung.

              Rayne , 22 Jun 2017Alpha was a great phone. Good times when smartphone don't n... moreEven 6gb ram is gimmick, Alpha had Steller multitasking when it was on android 4.4. Then they decreased multitasking efficiency after updating to Android 5.

              And now a days manufacturing are Cooking books on 2-4 gb phones by doing some Software tweaks so that users can believe that 2-4 gb Ram is too low for smartphones and 6-8 gb ram is needed.

              No innovation now a days, and companies like Oneplus are copying look of iPhone 7 plus and still apple can't sue them don't know. I believed iphone 7 plus rear is best looking device till date

                  Somethings fishy about the image
                  S5 neo ws launched with exynos 7580 (aka exynos 7) with 4x a53 and 4x a53 cores
                  the image shows 4x a57 and 4x a53 cores which is of exynos 5433 (renamed as exynos 7410 a predecessor of exynos 7420 in s6 series thus 7410 and 7420 bth calld exynos 7 too)

                  My question is, whether there is an s5 neo with exynos 5433 out there as the image is indirectly indicating or is the image sm kind of mistake ?

                    And my Galaxy Alpha Stuck with 5.0.2, Shame on you Samsung. My iphone 6 will be getting Ios11 soon and will go up to atleast Ios14. I bought Galaxy Alpha at 37k (580$) it should be updated to 7.0 (or atleast 6.0) considering Price.

                      AnonD-39937, 22 Jun 2017So the flagship S5 doesn't get Nougat , but the midrange S5... moreIt's because s5 is over 3 years old and s5 neo is less than 2.

                        That's why they may update S5 neo, because it has the same hardware as A5 2016. I don't think they care about older devices, they have no time even to test latest models. Only thing they care is to sell more and more devices.

                            So the flagship S5 doesn't get Nougat , but the midrange S5 Neo gets it? It makes no logic.
