When A9 pro will get nougat ??
Take a look. Very soon.
Very soon means....when or in how many days or weeks.....
If i had to guess i'd say up to 6 months from when spotted on benchmarks. It seemed to be like so for the S7.
Maybe coupled with the next security update (hoping) . A5 A3 were quick. S7 was the first, so might have been thoroughly done.

Even so if i'm not mistaken the A5 2017 took 4 months from benchmark to release. So 4 to 6 months is not unrealistic (and a sad timetable).

But mine is retail Brazil. How come the retail version is lagging behind? Samsung policies are indeed beyond all of us.

I m very promptly checking twice daily. Hope you are also.
I read somewhere (cant remember source) it MIGHT get it after the last model gets updated (which would start 27/07), so.... Hope starts after tomorrow. Its a phone that is still on market and has the crappiest of supports, outdated phones have already been updated first. AND there are NO accessories for it on the official samsung stores. Gotta remember to buy only extremely popular phones or flagships instead of actually good ones that dont rip my pockets.

:laugh: checking samsung update history here, it takes between 50 to 60 days between updates. The last one here was 21/6. Means 2nd week Aug might be a good guess.
This is a real good phone without samsung (less compared to their other models) / xda dev support. Still after 1 year of release no custom rom / kernel available. Never been like this with any of my earlier devices, Samsung or otherwise.
If we are lucky enough, next update will be only a security patch only. Will again leave us yearning for nougat for another month or so. My little ray of sunshine :victory:
Samsung going to release Nougat on 8th of Aug
Hi guys.
I earlier posted an interview with Honor CEO George Zhao that the Honor 8 was confirmed to be recieveing the 8.0 Oreo update.
But since then, the Honor 8 has been removed from the devices which Zhao listed who are being updated.
What are your guys thoughts?

It could mean that even he isn't sure which models are actively testing Oreo or they haven't even started testing it. Until it's put through some type of early tests, they can't release any info.
Haha let's start speculation again.
You right.
I am assuming that he is very well aware of what's the Honor plan in near future. On the other hand it might be later found inconvenient for Huawei to let spread the official statement about last year Honor flagships -
Honor 8 and 8 Pro - are about to receive Oreo which might have significant impact on both Huawei and Honor new models sales (like still mentioned Honor 9 and V9). I think they will release official statement (now they surely have to) after Christmas, probably January 2018, about releasing Oreo for those phones in Q1 of 2018. Who knows Honor would then expect the release of OTA about April to May of 2018 practically.
While there is still a small chance that Huawei could even stop the release of the update if they are afraid of new models sales., I don't think they will play that card for good reason - credibility in the eyes of potential customers.
Where is that list, and where did you got this from?

I think that's an excellent argument, it's very possible that their reasoning is a new OS on an older phone will affect sales of a new phone. Wait a few months after the release of your new phone and then push out Oreo to the older phone. The marketing people may be in charge of this theory.

B398 OTA for L09C432 was pushed recently, and
some Croatian users reported B399 started to appear.
B398 includes November security patch.
B399 includes December security patch.
A new one, B401 just appeared on Firmware Finder, I suppose, according to the size, that it is nougat with January security patch.
So, even if I wish there were monthly updates for security, we have security updates.

They do it all the time, after this the FRD-L09 models won't see updates for a while and all the other models will recieve updates. They did this before and I'm pretty sure they'll do it again. I just don't get why Honor doesn't have one universal model number for all regions like OnePlus or Google.

this is why you stop supporting them. i have im just waiting to see what the new Sony phones look like but im just itching to buy a oneplus 5t. i bought 3 1+5s for my family but due to the front facing fingerprint reader i passed.
the 5t seems great aside from the lack of expandable storage so i hope the new Sony phones look good.

The reason I really like this phone is cause I got it on Black Friday last year with a bunch of accessories. The price I got it for was alot lesser than OnePlus at that time and honestly for me the current build is pretty stable for my usage (Teen with bunch of social media, YouTube and games).

sony is great on software in fact its the best due to its large adds a large amount of code to aosp. they use vanilla ui with optimization and if they use a skin its easy to remove thanks to rro.
all oems should follow sony's ui methods. no one likes themes that are hard coded, they just suck! what im hoping is that google bakes security updates into treble so that they can be downloaded through the playstore in the future.
About two weeks ago I sent an Email to the honor support. I asked them about their once made promise to update the honor 8 for at least two years after the release. The answer was that the two years support would only include security updates. They wouldnt give any comment on oreo. I would guess it is rather unlikely that we will get an update to oreo for our device.
So, does anyone have any news on when we'll be getting the update? Sony's website says, for the XA1 Ultra, that it's coming soon; that's it. Apart from that, I've had that the update was supposed to possibly roll out in January/February - but, it's now, March 1. I haven't even received last month's security update yet.
Hi
I've Xperia XA1.
Somebody says it will roll out with Android 8.1 in April for both (ultra and normal), but nothing is sure. (Sadly) we've only to wait...
The only thing I hope is to have all the features there are on other Xperias, like XZ (so better camera app and performance and battery improvements), not only a new UI.

Myself included, Faby, but if you look in the Questions/Answers section I have posted an issue with my phone. I hope it's a software issue only and that it'll be fixed with Android 8.0 or 8.1. I can't stand having horrible charging problems and a weird phone boot sequence.

Great (and official!) News! Thanks!
It's released today.
Just received and installed the 8.0 update on my G3223. Looks good so far, no issues I've noticed but I'm pretty tired and haven't really poked around in it much.
I do like the Oreo home nav circle icon better . :cyclops:
oreo update
G3212 dual and G3223 ,already received the update,its Oreo 8.0...European version G3221 will need to wait few days more ,the first countries that will receive update will be Turkey,Central Europe and United Kingdom on O2 network,anyway Sony will release the update for all devices till end of month ,the next update android 8.1 will be released this summer,and unfortunately will be the last update for XA1 XA1Ultra and XA1 plus ..The company will focus on new devices updates..
Was very surprised to find an OTA waiting.
Well done Huawei - this phone was released in 2016.
It's gone through several Noughat, Several Oreo and Now, Several Pie - and I have to say this one organised the phone better, changes the UI significantly and leaves the phone feeling lighter (speedier) all round.
It breaks some themes though - and many themes are now paid. That happened from Oreo to Pie the first time.
If Huawei had come into the States when they had planned to, the landscape would look so different.
9.1.0.252
Hey - it's a great update! Tested for two weeks, very good battery and nice smooth quick screen.
Very nice!
LOL, in the USA, mine hasn't had an update officially, since June/July 2018! Don't expect it either
About once a month, I check it...nothing. I switched to something else last November...shame,
Had 3 Huawei phones over many years, NEVER had a problem with any of them.
This one is stuck at 8.0.0.375(C567) MHA-L29
Huawei has some super weird update policy, my c432 variant have received update about two weeks ago even before Huawei official statement while the other c185 variant is still waiting for it. While here, the op has received update on same c185.

update 3rd Nov: Asus rolling out updates for Zenfone 6
https://www.xda-developers.com/asus-zenfone-6-android-10-update/
-----
Received update 59. Just security fixes. Does anyone know till how long we will receive updates?
I remember reading way back that we will receive two major Android updates so Android 10 also?
If not wanted to know anyone has used lineage os or another rom for this device and their experiences.
We are supposed to receive Android 10. There's no ETA on it. My device came with 8.1, 340 update and subsequently I received regular updates (056 to 059) and I think it'll be a while till we keep getting them. Asus has been regular on doing this. Apart from battery issues and drops, there aren't any issues to these.
Yup. I too remember the 2 year sw upgrade. I tweeted to asus. They said that they are reviewing whether they are going to push the update 10 update to m1 or not. Apparently they care too much about "stability and experience". They said the list of devices is gonna be out very soon on their official website. This was 4-5days back.

Stability? If they push it for Max Pro M2, it's going to be a big bluff and nothing else. There's not major difference between M1 & M2 hardwares and if M2 can manage it, so can M1.

Yes but in real world condition it wouldn't matter there's not much difference in day to day tasks. Updating M2 would just be an excuse to give to people to buy the new model instead of the year old M1.

I'm counting on Asus to release a list soon. M2 Pro will get the first update in the series I assume. Rest will follow.
Sadly, I've never seen a phone improve with new versions of Android, and the same goes for M1: only problems and battery drain after Pie update.
Why don't vendors keep the native version of Android on every phone and just provide security fixes?
Is it not possible because of Android's development strategy?

well the answer is ofcourse money. so that they can churn new phones every year. contrast this with something like the Essential phone which released with Android 7 in August 2017 and still got Android 10 recently.
It's perfectly possible to have a phone that can last as long as computers. projects like librem from purism plan to do just that.

That's not what other person said. He meant an android should keep its original android version (the android on which it is launched) and just receive security updates.

oh I misunderstood native to mean a pure Android experience.
Then yes the Android update system does have some technical challenges well documented on various websites.
To summarize I'd say the first blocker is that Google stops supporting older Android versions after some time. Iirc they support the latest two versions of Android. So maybe they will drop support for oreo this December?
The second is Android is not based off of the mainline Linux kernel so it's harder to backport kernel security changes. Google and others worked with the kernel developers to have a long term release branch to receive security updates for longer (at least 2 years).
A third would be if OEMs like Asus have a limited contact with chip vendors like Qualcomm to provide blob updates for x years. usually the support warranty of the device.

What he wants should be fairly possible on all devices that have run Android 8 (native) ever since Project Treble has started.
