Samsung support team Hi. I'm Adina from Iran. I have a Samsung mobile phone that has a Galaxy S6 model. When I bought Android, I was upgrading to the 5 lollipop, which was gradually upgraded to 6 and 7. I plan to update 7.1.1 or Android O, but I'm sorry to say that Samsung's representative in Iran does not provide good support. I also contacted your representative in the United States, but they tell me that our information is limited to American phones. I wanted to know if you might be using ota on Android 7.1.1 Or send me the Android 8? I'd love to have this version of Android on my phone. Give me some guidance. Thank you samsung galaxy s6 factory model: sm-g920f [removed by moderator]
Hi, Adina.
Unfortunately, it seems that 7.0 is the highest that model goes. You can visit sammobile.com to see what firmware was made available for your device. If a newer version is available for another version of the same model - no, you can't use it on yours. Installing a new version of Android on a device just because Google has released a newer version is not how it works, you need to have support from the manufacturer. Some devices get some support for newer versions of Android from enthusiasts but installing those is not simple and you risk rendering the device useless.
Also, this site is not officially associated with Google, Samsung or other Android device manufacturers. We are just a group of enthusiasts that gather to share ideas and help with Android.
