Unlocked US Galaxy S8 and updates

A

AC Question

Now that the US unlocked Galaxy S8 has been out in the wild for an while now. How has the updates and security patches been? I know with the unlocked version of the S7; Samsung was in no hurry to push out software updates. Is the S8 fairing better than the S7?

The July security update came out a couple of weeks ago, so not so bad. However, the phone is still on 7.0 and likely will be for a while....

We may not even see 7.1.1 on this phone. With my US unlocked S7 Edge, the phone never saw 6.1.1. It was stuck on 6.0 and went directly to 7.0.

Last night, my unlocked S8+ on the July update, said there was a software update. It had the usual warning to connect to Wifi to download it and when I did, the software update disappeared and hasn't been seen since. It was probably a glitch but it was there even though my phone is on the July update.
