I'm on an EE contract bought through Carphone Warehouse and my phone says it's XEU. Does that mean I'm unlikely to get the update or just have wait longer for EE to sort their lives out?
I bought my phone from Carphone Warehouse too and mine is XEU. No sign of update for me.I'm on an EE contract bought through Carphone Warehouse and my phone says it's XEU. Does that mean I'm unlikely to get the update or just have wait longer for EE to sort their lives out?

what's XEU? please post your device model number from the About section
also, is it unlocked or locked?
I went to edit my original post but it wouldn't save. I meant to say it is unlocked UK phones purchased through carriers.XEU is unlocked carrier versions in the UK. as to when we will get the update, who knows. I have noticed that it is often behind BTU in normal updates
I was using the iPhone 7 Plus for the last several months and I'm really glad I'm back to using my S7 edge because I really missed the customization of Android. Sure, the iPhone 7 Plus was a great phone, but the S7 edge is still better despite being ~six months older than the 7+. There were just way too many features I missed on Samsung (Samsung Pay, wireless charging, Android customizztion, etc. etc. etc.).
The reasons you mention are why I was so shocked when you were saying the iPhone 7 Plus is the best phone on the market hands down but yet you like those features. Made no sense to me lol .
Smartphones overall have gotten so good that my new saying is, the best smartphone in the world is the one you're currently using.
I get what you're saying, but Apple updates once a year as well you're getting less in the same interval on a device you can do less on. And you're stuck with an iPhone. I understand your point, though it just would never be enough to make me go to Apple. The Pixel I can't argue with because I haven't used one, but I just like Android so I wouldn't necessarily say it would be a horrible optionUp until now, I always used both iPhone and Samsung Galaxy S series. The S7 Edge will by my last Samsung phone.Moving forward, it's so long Samsung and I will be sticking with ONLY iPhones and Google Pixel. This waiting 5 months for the latest update is for the birds. At this point, it's no longer the latest update.
Just read a thread that BTU come direct from Samsung and XEU is unlocked carrier editions. I got mine from the Samsung experience shop in Liverpool but I didn't realise that this was owned and run by carphone warehouse. They have miniscule signs stating this.
No ive got the XEUBought mine from the Leeds Samsung Experience Store.
I was aware they are run under the Carphone Warehouse banner.
Is yours a BTU ?

If true, I'll move to Apple iphone next September.

Ironic is spot on, I wouldn't mind waiting if Samsung would publish a timetable of when each CSC would start to get the update, Its the uncertainty that's a killer.then you will get the update. unfortunately, you and I will be the last to get it. kinda ironic how an unlocked device now received updates slower than the carrier branded ones. never been like this in the past, it was the other way round
I remember I wast stuck on the August Security patch until November until I got the update while others have been enjoying monthly updates in the 2nd half of each month

I keep getting an image of someone at Samsung tossing a coin to see who gets the release that day.
