in my experience, it could be months. As in Q2 2015
Knowing Samsung it might not be till end of summer 2015 (if you are lucky).

There have already been two preview builds for the S5, both shown by Sammobile on YouTube. Which means they are working on it and they're almost there. I would expect an update closer to the end of the year or at the beginning of the next.

Meanwhile, the good people at LG are releasing Lollipop for the LG G3 this week. Samsung is always way too slow with updates, for no acceptable reason.

Android in G3 is not so heavily modified than in Samsung phones. Maybe that's the reason.

Enough proof for you?
I am pretty confident/optimistic that we will have the update during Nov-Dec, 1-2 months from now
So far we have seen 2 leaks of Lollipop for S5, 1 leak of S4, so imagine at what level the newest flagship of Samsung is
Even more, all companies are promoting fiercely their update plans, so Samsung should be at least worried and thus speed up their game.
Lastly, last year we had the same case as with Note 3, it was released with 4.3 Jellybean and it received the 4.4 Kitkat update in early January.
The best news relateed to this is that Chainfire was able to root Lollipop on the Nexus 9. It is encouraging that if you have an unlocked bootloader, it seems likely that there will be root for Android 5.

According to this article it's late November early December.

Are you joking? There are builds for the S5 and the S4, the latter being almost 2 years old now! There is no way the the Note 4 will get an update in "Q2 2015". And the article you linked to has no substantial evidence or insight. On the other hand, we know Note 3 was released with 4.3 and got an update to 4.4 in January, so it's not far fetched to think the Note 4 will be treated the same way.

I hope you are right, but I highly doubt we will get it before end of Q1-2015. Yes there are builds for many phones, but Samsung tends to take their sweet time coming up with a final draft. I suffered plenty with the Note 2 and Note 3 (still on 4.4.2 until now). Maybe the fact that almost every manufacturer other than samsung will have Lollipop before end of the month might make Samsung move faster (but I doubt it, because they know that most of their end users aren't on XDA and don't know lollipop from lollygag).
What's really funny -and to be frank, quite sad- is how we use words like "suffer" when we explain how we feel about waiting for an update. It's a phone. Save your capacity to suffer for things that actually matter.
Maybe Samsung will see this and we'll get the update this week........or in Q4 15[emoji13]
Good news guys! Galaxy S5 mini 5.1.1 Lollipop is coming!!!
source
I Do not believe it will be launched soon. usually there are leaks from samsung..it is not the case..
anyone have more precise info?
samsung just announced that the newly arrived e5 and e7 won't be getting lollipop even though lollipop was promised and some e5 already run it (weird stuff). my point being, i'm not optimistic that the s5 mini will get android 5.0. if you remember samsung promised 4.4 kitkat for the international s3 mini and never gave the update, despite it being one of the top 10 selling devices across the globe. the s5 mini was going to get 5.0 between early may and late june and since no leaks have been found the chances are slim. hope i'm wrong, of course.
What a joke. At least release the S6 mini so we can upgrade.........

And that in itself is a joke. I just bought my S5 mini only a few months ago. I'm not going to just go buy a new S6 because Samsung thinks that I need to do that, when I have a perfectly fine S5 mini that they can upgrade, as they said it would be.
I will never EVER buy a Samsung product again with how they have handled this.
you need to stay away from samsung phones unless they are a galaxy s or a note, or at least an alpha (minis excluded). after my post above i searched the web and found that i was wrong (at least theoritically) because samsung uk officially stated the s5 mini will get lollipop, if i'm not wrong the uk version is the exynos one (international). but i don't trust them till i see the update myself.

Me too. Except S Note series... But if they break Note series, THAT'S IT. I'M OUT OF SAMSUNG COMMUNITY.
The 5.0.1 update was promised in the late Q2 2015, but -I reaaaaally hope- was cancelled because Sam is cooking the 5.1.1 update (as samsung.youmobile.org says). In this case we'll have to wait a couple of months to see if Sam says something about.
I think my next smartphone will be the next Nexus 5 after the upcoming 2015 revision (if Google release another Nexus 5 in 2016) or maybe a Nokia smartphone if they really come to Android...

Is there any posibility to install the us version on g800f?
Sent from my SM-G800F using XDA Free mobile app
No, you can't. The main US version mounts an Snapdragon SoC, the european an Exynos SoC. Both versions are technically different, although they share specs the SoC isn't the same. Two SoCs, two different ROMs...

Samsung has seemed to go mad with all the versions of the Tab 2. Is this really necessary?
I guess I bought the least popular T715Y. The end of May has passed and still no MM.
If regions really need specific LTE radios I think it could still be done with 6 versions. All the WiFi only could be the same.
I think Samsung makes a good product (since I keep buying them) but upgrades to the OS, not very good.
Shofar1
Agreed, too many versions, too many variants. A different firmware for each region and variant. Totally unnecessary and wouldn't be if they didn't load their devices with all the unwanted crap.
I have a Tab A 9.7 and it has far less rubbish installed on it which is how it should be and it runs great.
I agree. Having the Y variant is beginning to be a pain in the ass haha. I love the device, just want to do what I want to do with it, since I Own it....

Yes... way to many versions.
Still waiting for MM here in Canadian to.... I don't think Samsung has released any MM updates in North America for the S2 yet.
all version of tab s 2 get mm update and 715Y still runing 5.0.1
samsung must be more respect for user for all region
It's usual, nothing new at all, I've been with samsung since 2012 and it's always the same, get used to it. Galaxy S3 took ages for my reagion. Note 4 N910C and tab S2 T810 Still doesn't have 6.0.1 here. It's bad how it works, but it's usual
anyone know when mm update come for t715y ?
Been asking myself since the end of may. About to just tell my 715y and get the new one. After getting 6.0 on my note I miss it on my tablet.

What part of the T715 firmware does not flash on the T715?
As far as I know, the radio won't work for some reason. Kind of an integral part of my tablet haha.
I just want even a kernel that improved performance and battery is all. Then I can use xsposed, if there is one for that device to change anything I need.

This is good news!!
At Geekbench, you can find as many as 7 listing showing Android 7.0 running on Galaxy S7. And even more listings for the curvy brother, S7 Edge.
See them pages here.
It's entirely possible Samsung could release the Nougat build this month, otherwise October looks a sure-shot!
Thoughts?

Don't forget after Samsung is done testing it still has to go to the carriers and they do more testing. 2017 sounds right.

Any ideas if they'll finally fix the MVNO roaming issue? It stops background data on a lot of apps when it detects you as roaming, regardless it's your own network. This is not a Samsung bug, more like Android, but Samsung made it worse with the way it makes some apps behave when it detects roaming.

There are more sources saying that S6 WILL get Oreo.

There is even more I'm sure.
They are not sources, just articles related to the same source already cited here, people from Samsung support center, not the official statement from Samsung.
In this case, seeing is believing. I don't think we'll ever get official statement that Oreo will be supported for S6, it's either it will or it won't, only time will tell. Certainly if it ever comes, it won't be before March or even April.

You are right, they are all using one source, I messed up. Still, they are not saying there's a chance, they are confirming it's gonna happen and they seem confident. I'm sold. If it doesn't happen then I won't consider them a viable source of information anymore.
I'm still not convinced. It might even be that they plan to update it to Oreo, only to be cancelled at some point.

Maybe at 99% of Oreo completion a plane will crash in the house of developers and they will all die and it will get cancelled.

May I know what website is that? Thanks
Although I'm not sure if this is going to be real, it's technically possible. There's a phone called Galaxy A8 2016. Since the 2015 models of Galaxy A Series got Nougat, that device would almost certainly get Oreo, and it has similar specs to the S6 (Exynos 7420, 3GB RAM). It wouldn't be too much of a job for Samsung to support S6 too.
Maybe we could port Oreo from the A8 2016 if Samsung chooses not to push Oreo for S6..
Guys don't be so pessimistic...
The Galaxy S6 is still a very good and strong device. It is a Milestone and it deserves Android 8.0. They are probably updating it to 8.0 because they want to Change their update polity and thats really great. Be happy, at least they consider to update the device and do not cancel the update. They also could have said "No the S6 won't receive 8.0" but they didnt!

Oooo such intresting news about new software update. Galaxy s6 will may get android 8 oreo.
I have a perfect matched gif for this
Why samsung need to waist extra time and resources on a such "failed" device when they already are orientated at quantity instead of software sussport ? Battery is terrible, probably 50% of users already in 1/2 years of use switched to other device, like galaxy s7 or s8 or other one with better battery. Because.. I truly believe a lot of users was like , - pissed of with 3-4 max hours screen on time.
There is no point for them to do this. When they already released a lot of new devices with new android version etc and also with upgrades like biger batterys, galaxy s7 etc. As samsung stated, they provide 2 years of software updates. Thats it. So they what ? Changed theyr update policy somehow ? Where updates then, refreshed policy about this that they changed theyr own rules ? No official news from samsung, nothing.
Samsung turkey, samsung other or else etc.. who cares about them ? Samsung turkey once stated about nougat update when s6 will get and they lied about date when it will release, delayed a lot. And now states about oreo ? Haha.
I dont believe either of them. They just writing what they want witchout any facts or confirms. Again.. - rumors without trusted source.

I don't think that you anything about the S6. Why? Because in your opinion it's a failed device and the S6 is one of the best Galaxys you can buy. It is better/more premium than Galaxy A/J 2016/2017 lines.

Haha! What an ignorant guy. I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 and battery is fine I get 6-8hrs SOT. Don't know what your on about. There is point for them to do this as they wan't to support their devices for more than 2 years to remain competitive with the like of Google and Apple. Yeah Samsung Turkey lied about the date but hey Nougat still came! I think Samsung CS counts as trusted sources, verified by multiple reps in many different countries!
