[Karlzweb]

Wow. Unusual to see all the carriers along the same time. Think I will believe it when I see it!

Verizon has been saying April for note 8 for awhile, problem is nobody wanted to believe them.

Guess time will tell....

It would be nice. I downloaded it on my s8 plus yesterday. Any chance we get some of the s9 features like able to add movies from your device to the lock screen like you can with the s9?

Stupid reason why unlocked takes more time. Are they going to certify with every carrier in the world? c'mon Samsung.

I'm curious, Why would you want to add movies to your Lockscreen?

Not sure I'd ever use this. But, it looks to be part of SE 9.0. I would say it should be included. As long as no extra hardware is needed like back when Iris scanning first came out, all flagship phones should have the same software features.

Considering no Note 8's have it at all in the UK, I will believe it when it happens.
And, unlike the article, carriers are last to get it here. Especially EE.

I can tell you that we should DEFINITELY get that feature, because I can do it right now on the leaked version that I've been using.

I'll believe it when it happens as well
But I have a SIM free UK model using an EE SIM and every update that's come the networks have released it before mine I've even considered flashing the EE firmware so that I get updates quicker, plus VoLte

not stressing, what's another few weeks I suppose

 

[Deke218]

Days. Another few days.

Happy dance time!

I have an unlocked direct from Samsung one, but running the EE firmware to get Volte ( it makes a big difference for me) EE are a nightmare with software releases.

EE seems to be the slowest carrier to update but it does seem on some of the security updates that we've still got the update quicker than the unlocked version. The EE firmware is worth it for me for VoLTE and WiFi calling integration

Only required for Volte ( which is worth it) wifi calling out the box on BTU.

WiFi calling is much more valuable with VoLTE as a call will continue if you leave the WiFi network coverage whereas without VoLTE the call will drop. Which I always used to find really frustrating

Today I got OREO update, exynos European version, provider Mobitel, Slovenia

Unlocked UK handset, just one security update since launch!
Doesn't bode well now does it.
I'm not too bothered about major updates although it's nice to have new features, but I do think Samsung need to concentrate on security updates more frequently.
