But as on other occasions, it is quite possible that this update will be disapproved for obvious reasons.

    AnonD-428442, 16 Jan 2018Wouldn't hold my breath. Samsung is releasing premium mid-... moreAndroid 7.1.2 for Samsung is that neither Android 2.3.7 was in 2011.
    And who received the Nougat, received! Independently whether it is 7.0 or 7.1.1, or whether it is SE 8.0, 8.1 or 8.5.
    Now just wait for the Oreo to be distributed in the second half.

        Not Reliable. I'm also a Samsung representative and sometimes we just give answers to make customers happy although we don't have the information they are asking for. =D

                        Too good to be true. Loool. Y’all have to wait before making pessimistic comments. Samsung could have changed their policy for updates. Recent Samsung phones are light years ahead of their previous phones. They are getting better at their game. It’s about time we have android manufacturers getting close to the level of Apple.

                        Let’s wait.

                          Or it could just be a fib like all the indian call center agents tell me just so I would get off the phone / chat.

                            The S6 getting Oreo? My gosh, that is amazing and a first for a 3 year old phone outside of the Nexus series.

                                Actually, Samsung support representative didn't confirm anything. He only said that Samsung will update in regards which phones will receive the oreo. Read carefully the message at 14:22 C(:

                                    But that's probably due to it being Exynos, wheras the S5, with SD801, Qualcom being a greedy d!ck didn't release official drivers for it:

                                        Luxor, 16 Jan 2018Why didnt you joined Samsung android oreo beta program? It ... moreNote 8 does not have beta program.
                                        Samsung mainly copies apple iPhone, see the note app or reminder app .. you will understand . So there is no harm to give update first because it's not their OS; it's android and android updated to Oreo long back ...
