        Samsung tested Oreo on the S6 but never officially released it. This was news a few years back (I recall there was an article which GSMA never reported but was picked up by Android Authority and Engadget). It is pretty annoying people come back years later complaining / demanding support for a phone that was superseded almost six years ago. Do your darn research people instead of being random uninformed keyboard warriors.

        Back on topic. I concur - the S6 was a flagship device with flagship specs at the time of release. Most certainly capable of running Oreo, probably Pie without major issues. But as people have alluded to it is all about planned obsolescence now; people just demand the latest and greatest, which in turn keeps the economy running and give people jobs (ie this site as well), whilst at the same time choking this finite planet a little bit more. I used my S6 for five years before moving to a Pixel 3a (my mindset was to use it just as long). My S6 got an official battery replacement before I retired it, with me giving it a charge every season to keep the battery active. And for all intents and purposes I will probably 'upgrade' to that once my Pixel stops working (courtesy of Google continuously and definitely crippling the thing with every single update).

          All of these flagship phones can handle 3 and maybe 4 updates, only reason they don't is because the companies want you to buy their new phones so they stop updating them
          My friend was able to get Android 11 on his S8 with a rom and it worked perfectly, i'm not experienced with stuff like that otherwise i would have kept my S6 for experiments like that

The S7, S8 and S9 are FULLY capable of running one more android version than what they got

              So how did Samsung manage to give this phone 3 software updates, but couldn't do that for the othe phones? The S7 which came out a year later is stuck on Android 8, same as this phone which is just weird. It took them until 2020 for all of their phones to get 3 updates

                            How is this upgradeable to 8? I remember a year ago I had it could be upgraded to 7.

There are plenty of options like LineageOS, dotOS, crDroid, Pixel Experience Plus, Evolution X, Resurrection Remix, etc. Personally, I like the Evolution X because customization level is incredible like the most of other custom roms. Stability and battery is awesome.

                                      I can recommend to install latest android versions except android 11 because 11 some minor issues like mobile data, bluetooth audio in general. When you can install 11? Maybe when xda developers fix the issues in near future. Note: Camera does not work with flashlight in custom roms but I think worth it for awesome cons.

                                      If you want to install any of those custom roms then you can find those and detailed instructions in the Samsung Galaxy S6 section of xda-developers's website.
