New Features for the S8 And S8 plus ? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion

Will Samsung Galaxy S8 And S8 Plus get Portrait mode and the features of the S9 and S9 Plus like ArEmoji in a Future Software update
From a XDA Thread i have heard that samsung is bringing the ArEmoji to the S8 and S8 Plus in a Future firmware Update

We can hope. Samsung have been better and bringing features to the previous flagship moreso than they used to. But nothing is promised.

Should I buy the S6 Edge Plus?

I am debating whether or not to buy an unlocked international version of this phone but I do not like all the negative technical issues and battery life issues i see on a lot of forums. I have had android before and would not care to root the phone and flash a better kernel or rom to fix the issues if possible, but I want to know your opinion and also to see if anything has improved recently.
Also if not what phones would you all recommend that is similar to the edge plus?
Thank you,

Then I should probably wait till S7 edge comes out. I will want the newest and I won't have the money till end of next month anyways.
Wait for s7 my s6 edge plus have two months without any problems but at this time I would wait for the s7
NO don't buy s6 Edge Plus. Buy Samsung galaxy S7 Edge Plus instead. should be out in March. just 2 months left.
galaxy S7 should have a bigger battery.

Buying a Samsung S7 Edge

I'm planning to buy a Samsung Edge S7, but considering Samsung S8 will be out internationally by April 21St, would it be advisable to buy the S7 now?
Thanks
This is really dependant on your current needs.
I use the s7 edge and it's an awesome phone.
If your current phone will do until the launch of the s8 then hold fire if not buy a cheap put you on phone.
Because either you'll like the s8 over the s7 edge and buy it or occasionally once a new flagship phone is released the previous flagship model reduces in cost. So then buying the s7 edge could be cheaper.

Android Oreo update: Samsung
Samsung is officially keeping its cards close to its chest. However, the dedicated website SamMobile has estimated exactly which phones will be getting Android Oreo - most likely in the first half of next year.
It made judgements based on Samsung history and trends, which suggest that, in the vast majority of cases, the company pushes two major Android updates to its phones before resorting to just security patches. If true, that's bad news for owners of the Samsung Galaxy S6, which has had two major updates already. But it'll be great news to users of the following phones and tablets:
Samsung Galaxy S8
Samsung Galaxy S8+
Samsung Galaxy Note 8
Samsung Galaxy S7
Samsung Galaxy S7 edge
Samsung Galaxy S7 Active
Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017)
Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017)
Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017)
Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017)
Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017)
Samsung Galaxy Note FE
Samsung Galaxy Tab S3
Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro
Samsung Galaxy C7 Pro
Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime

S8 Development Timeline

Hi,
I'm looking for a new phone but not looking to pay newest flagship prices.
The S8 seems to be a good substitute for the S9 at a lower price point.
But I'm concerned about buying it and then development crashes a year later.
What is the general development timeline for Samsung devices (other than official lineage) before they are abandoned?
Thoughts?
