Given that he said... ...the carrier has nothing to do with the update. For those of us with the unlocked versions, we're still waiting for the update to come directly from Samsung.

Well said. EVERYTHING in that post was well said as to our frustrations.

As here's where your assumption is wrong. Our beef is generated by the fact that, for a lot of us, this premium flagship phone has, at times, become unusable for its intended purpose. It's not necessarily just a lack of "fast updates', but any updates at all. The fact that it has been...

I didnt see your edit before i posted the last reply, so... So you don't even own the unlocked version?!? And yet you want to criticize what we term it?!? You didn't pay what we did with the expectations we were given by Samsung.

First of all, IT IS a great piece of hardware. No one said it isn't. But that great piece of hardware becomes an expensive brick when it get blacklisted by your company because it's so far out of date on Security Patches. Even if it's only $100! Since Android Central's recommendation was...

But saying that "it still falls behind on updates when compared to the Pixel, though" is like saying that I don't hit a baseball as well as Willie Stargell. I might not hit as good, but you would still assume that i CAN hit even though I can't. A little misleading, right? Upon reading the...

Then here's the rub... How can sites such as Android Central have the gall to leave the phone on their so-called "Best Unlocked Phone" list? I actually had to go to a backup phone in early March because my employer blacklisted it from our BYOD list because it was so far behind on Security...

And we do appreciate it! :)

Here's the problem though - since the phone was first released, we've only received THREE Security Patches - period. Even though for the S7 and Edge, Samsung promised a Monthly Security cycle FROM THE BEGINNING! So I'm sure that you can understand our frustrations on this. With your S7 Edge...

He's sounding like more of an apologist than even @SamsungMarcos! At least Marcos expresses some outrage even if it isn't real...

Sorry, but that's a ridiculous statement to say that it could be because the "Support Period Expired"! The unlocked versions of the phone were only released 8 months ago! If Android Central truly believes this 'could' be the case, I better see the phone removed from the so-called 'Best Unlocked...

They absolutely did, and still proudly say so on their Mobile Security Blog. It seems my reply with the direct link was rejected, so let's try it this way... Google "Samsung Mobile Security Blog" Click on the first result Click on the 'Introduction' tab The text reads as follows.... "Current...

They absolutely did since day one and even proudly say so on the Samsung mobile Security Blog.... Samsung Mobile Security Blog

Just call Samsung US Support or ask any of us who have done so numerous times! Do you want my call logs or Samsung Support ticket numbers? When first calling US Support, they said it would be released to us in early February. Now, when you call they most often say that the unlocked US versions...

Actually, many of us were told by Samsung Support prior to purchase that we would be among the first to receive the update! But also, neither did they say we wouldn't be getting it at all. At this point that's what it looks like. After being promised that we would have it sometime in early...
