Verizon users notified of Oreo update for Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, don't get it

20 April 2018
The Verizon Support page extols the virtues of Android Oreo, but what use is that if the update is just a security patch?

Sort by:

Xperia XZ, released in the same year with the same chipset, is already on Android 8.0 since March. Watch and learn, Samsung.

    Samsung is the worst company. It does not acknowledge its own manufacturing defect in their products and let customer suffer for no reason. I bought the Samsung S8+ during its flagship launch period. But later after few months I realise that it has a manufacturing defect and it does not work on 3G network. Initially I kept on arguing with the service provider but when they did everything and even changed the SIM then we tested it on other mobile phones and found that the problem is with device. At service centre they tested the SIM on another S8+ device and it was confirmed that the device is having manufacturing defect.
    I demanded the replacement but Samsung refused and instead offered repair. When I asked that once repaired normally device does not remain as original specially I doubt that it's IP68 feature being water proof will be effective after repair so give me in writing that if after repair something happen with phone then they will replace it which Samsung refused.
    Please do not spend your hard earned money (such a huge amount) on products of such a rough company.
    Also they discriminate for the same issue to the US customer they replaced the device. It is on records.

    I don't know how these devices passing the quality check. It really raises a doubt if they have a good quality checks in place.

    A big no to Samsung products.

      i love my ipad, ios really has faster updates but come with soo many bugs (and i feel that my os is getting slower at every update), so i stick with one os version and never update anymore when is stable, at least with android i can fix the bugs myself.

        I got the update ending in BRC3 yesterday morning, curiously on 4/20. I can confirm it was a whole lot of nothing.

You mean it takes them more time to update when their os is already the most advanced and feature packed one out. Which requires more time and money to work on? And they also have more phone to update and are trying to make sure it doesn't have all the bugs the others have.
          Wow. Shocking.
