Hey guys!
I don't know if you already heard it but the Galaxy S6 lineup will probably receive Android 8.0. Many Samsung employees confirmed that and there is already a leaked list of devices which will get the update. Today I noticed that not only the S6 was mentioned on that list... the Galaxy Tab S2 will probably receive the update as well! In my opinion it is really great to see that the first premium devices from Samsung will get another update
What do you think?

I wouldn't get too excited. That list is just devices that could potentially run Oreo. It does not mean they will actually get the update. There's a good few on there that I'm certain wont. Would you really think the Tab series would get Oreo when they didn't even get nougat or Marshmallow?

Maybe we will get Samsung Experience 9.0 with the update. It would be very great to get some S8/S9 UI feauters
If Samsung's track record holds of two major version updates per flagship device, the 2016 Tab S2 should get Oreo. The 2015 may or may not - I guess it depends on whether Sammy is feeling generous.
I'm not sure who would hope their device doesn't get the update? While it's possible Samsung could pull an Apple stunt and kill performance with an Oreo update, that generally hasn't been an issue. In reality, it will just be security patches and support for newer apps. The days of new Android versions bringing sea changes of improvements appear to be in the past.

I agree Samsung seem to give 2 major updates to their flagships and higher spec devices.
The S2(2) should get Oreo. I'd say unlikely the S2(1)will see it.
As a 2015 owner, all I want for the last major update is a stable build without any major bugs. From then on, I'd just like the same build with the security updates. The current Nougat is pretty solid but the screen brightness does keep going up and down on some occasions.
i would love to see something for the 819N, i mean there isn't even any custom roms for that version of the tablet, i hope at least samsung goes oreo for it.

Probably 2016 model can hope for it because it has been shipped with 6.0 and also is not sure...but 2015 model should kill the idea because has been shipped with 5.0.1. Even if we could run oreo Sammy will never give a third major update to a 2015 device, even if the only difference between 2015 and 2016 is the CPU (correct me if i'm wrong)
I think it's crazy how Samsumg abandons its own products. I can understand their budget devices getting updates, but this is their only tablet line. Not to mention they were selling these for $400+ a pop (i got mine out of a pricing error for $200 though).
Just shows you that iPad should be the only tablet product to purchase from here on out... I think the last year and a couple months I've owned this it's been updated a whopping 3 times! Never again will I buy Samsung.

I've been waiting for a long time for android 7.0 on my S7 edge , and im sure some of you do, does anyone knows when its coming out for us?
Jesse said that it should be here within a week or two.
Give Samsung some time. They just cancelled their N7, and the more time they spend with Nougat, the less bugs we will have. Of course they could give us a working beta like couple of days after Nougat came out, but would You want to see millions of force closes? I can't wait either but we have to.
I also think that it will be rolled out in the end of October.
Sometime between October 2016 - to March 2017 . I'd rather wait and it be right. Android tends to ship with lots of bugs. Remember the memory leak bug, the one google still hasn't fully fixed from lollipop.
When oems rush out android versions it becomes a mess. Look at lg. Nougat and marshmallow are plagued with bugs as they threw it out to soon

If history is any precursor to what we can expect, I'd expect Nougat after the S8 is released, and even then I'd only expect 7.0 and not 7.x. Don't buy anything but Google if you want to stay current on software.

If history is any precursor to what we can expect the S6 was updated to Android 6 before the S7 came out
People have to realize, there are 5 more months, almost half a year during which the S7 and S7 Edge will be the best that Samsung has to offer. The Note 7 failure ensures that Samsung will not repeat their usual updates history. I expect Samsung to put some extra work and time into the Nougat stuff for the S7/Edge. At the same time, they may also try to freeze their development in order to get their customers to buy the S8.
But as for me, if I don't see and update with the 3rd party notifications on AOD soon enough, I will just go with LG for the next iteration, I am almost sure that the LG G6 will avoid all the mistakes of the G5 and will be a great phone.

What do you think, will samsung limit Nougat on the S2 to the newer Snapdragon version of the tablet?
I dont think Samsung is going to have Nougat for S2. That will be in the Tab S3.
Yes, it's been reported that the T810 is testing and will be released soon.

The rumours about Nougat is getting louder:
https://www.sammobile.com/2016/12/19/galaxy-tab-s2-running-nougat-surfaces-on-gfxbench/
My galaxy tab s2 wifi only (t710) is still in 5.0.2 on sammobile but thanks to flashing, I was able to get MM. Now I am worried that my tab s2 will not get a proper nougat update because the update rolls out only to LTE versions.
According to this source (https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-begins-rollout-of-android-7-0-nougat) the "Galaxy Tab S2 (LTE unlock)" will be included in the Android 7.0 update rollout for Samsung devices this year. Seems legit, considering it's from Samsung themselves
I think the S2 will get Nougat. It's just a case of when and how good it will be?
However, I also think that will be it. Absolutely no chance at all of getting Android 8.
Given my experience with Samsung tablets, I'm not even clear T813 will see an update to 7.x.
That would be 2 in a row for me (poorly supported Samsung tablets), and probably my last purchase from them.

Guys Tab S2 9.7 is getting Nougat soon!
According to many sources, Samsung has already made Nougat & is testing it now (nougat benchmarks seen on GFXBench).

The problem is, who else is making good spec Android tablets with Amoled screens? From my point of view, MM is running well and has been for the last 6 months. A Nougat upgrade would be nice, (especially for the multi window mode,) but I wouldn't loose any sleep if it wasn't updated. They do need to release a recent security update though.
As my experience with the One Plus 3 has been so good, I'd like to see them shake Samsung up by entering the tablet market. I know it wont happen but I can dream. :angel:

So it begs the question, what specs and how much would you be prepared to pay?
For me, take a OP3, put it in the tab S2 body and I'd happily pay £400 (~$450) all day long. Of course, it would have to be running OOS.

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.

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!

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 ?

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.

So what is your complaint exactly? You're angry about the fact that we didn't get a rom then, even though we're getting the latest version now? You knew about it, bought it, then came here to complain about it 7 months or so afterwards?
What was so important that changed from 7.0 to 7.1? I have a feeling you're just looking to whine about anything possible
My complaint is pretty clear, not sure why you can't see it.
When Android 7.1 was released, it was seen as a Nexus/Pixel exclusive with pixel-only exclusives. It's more surprising that the Note 8 did come with Android 7.1 than the S8 not getting an update. Most skinned manufacturers decided early on to skip 7.1 in favor of 8.0
Why didn't we get 6.1?
Samsung releases the major builds and frequent updates. We don't need stuff that's more suited for a pixel. If you're that concerned, buy a pixel.

Sorry I should have been more clear and misunderstood. By the time that 8.1 was out development on 8 would have already started.
Short answer. Do you seriously expect them to complile thousands of packages all over again for a version that changes basically nothing, only to do it all over again 2 months later for a major release?

Yes, that's their job, they dont get to take a year off after compiling one version of android. If they can release x.1 updates on the note they can do the same on the s8.

Why couldn't samsung simply rip out the spen junk from the note rom and release it on our phones?

I had the S7 Edge, that was long ago but I don't recall getting it for that device. Either way, obviously wasn't a big deal update
I was on the line with samsung+ and they told me that there are planning to release oreo for the tab s2,tab s3,galaxy s6 line,galaxy s7 line,galaxy s8 line as well as some other devices. Now this is NOT,and I wanted to get this clear,NOT 100% CONFIRMATION that tab s2 is getting oreo,they could change their minds about this,this isn't a press release,it's just samsung+ customer support,because I knew some people were gonna point out this isn't reliable but just wanted to let people know that tab s2 has a good chance of getting oreo

I found this post to be very useful. Here's hoping it's true and Oreo will make its way to myTab S2!
According to Sammobile, the Tab S2 is still on the "may or may not get Android 8.0" list. I doubt will ever get an official announcement from Samsung. It will either just show up one day or a year from now we can finally give up hope. There appears to be a fairly stable version of LineageOS 15.1 for those that can't (or don't want to) wait.

The latest info from XDA https://www.xda-developers.com/list-samsung-galaxy-android-oreo-update/
The S2 is not on the list for Oreo update. I'm inclined to believe this.
Last security patch August 2017, think about that...
The S7 is still patched sometimes.

Not for me though, I have the 8.0 LTE version, and there is no custom rom available for that one. I'm **** out of luck

Check again, of course there is. Well, depending on which one you mean. T-719 it is?

Yes, That would be the 719 IIRC, I've seen that there is an unofficial build now, but from the looks of it the microphone and/or calling is non functional. Maybe I'll try it in a few weeks, would be amazing just to have 8.1 vanilla on there.
Yeah, I'm interested into getting a Tab S2 8.0. The ones selling online nowadays are mostly the T719.
There's an unofficial Lineage ROM for it now, but the phone speaker and mic aren't working. But if we could just use a Bluetooth headset to mitigate this problem, then I'm OK with it, cos I'd much prefer the Lineage ROM.
I've posted this question in the Lineage ROM thread, but no one replied so far. Has anyone succeeded in using a Bluetooth headset with it?

BT calling does not work, too.
But Samsung does not have any newer medium sized tablet than the S2 8.0. There is no S3 8.0. So why shouldnt they update this device. Or there will be a small S3...

Oh, that's unfortunate. Here's to hoping it'll get fixed in the future.
Wouldn't be surprised. Samsung abandoned the Pro series back in 2014. Great device but stuck in Kit Kat if im not mistaken...
Meh, I doubt we will get Oreo.
Samsung usually pushes out 2 major updates at most, and we already got 2 major updates (Marshmallow and Nougat).

The 2016 S2 shipped with Marshmallow, so I'm not sure that counts as an update. However, I don't entirely disagree with your overall point because of the tablet's age - even the newer S2 is hitting the 2 year mark, which usually means the end of the line for support.
Be really good if the 9.7 LTE version gets an Oreo Rom. The WiFi version has had one for a few months now...

Since when? I am on the latest update available for my T813 (January 2018 Security update) and it is NOT Oreo but still Nougat. Unless you are referring to custom ROMs which is true. But this thread is a discussion about stock .
