Still on August 1 security

[magichoward]

Is this really an issue? I do banking etc on this device.. Strange that Samsung spend a fortune on ads comparing itself to ios but this is one area its a massive letdown. I have an unlocked phone purchased directly from Samsung.. Shame they font listen to us... But it's an area I feel that once they have our money they don't care.

I just checked mine and I'm on the October security. Then again mine is not unlocked. Have you checked manually for updates?

[magichoward]

Yep I checked manually it seems only a few have been updated probably less than 5 percent of the ones sold

If you want fast updates the only way to guarantee anything is to have a phone directly from Google. Other companies just don't have the best track record for updates.

Yes but a 1000 dollar phone?

Once phones have Oreo or later baked in that should change by separating carrier based software from kernel.

You act as if the Note 8 isn't already extremely close to that price .

Also it isn't a $1000 phone unless you grab the XL version AND the highest storage combo. Not all will do that.

Aug 1 still, Australia.

It would really assist if people included their country when they commented.

 

[j_hansen]

realised that the on that got the update is Vodafone-branded but still unlocked, the other still on 1st August is unbranded

according to sammobile November update is now rolling out in the UK but I don't have it yet on EE branded firmware

Wait so you already paid $1k for your Note .. so why upset at the Pixel XL 128 price ? .

I mean I get it isn't cheap but if you truly value updates Google phones are the only way to get guaranteed ones. You just have to weigh out the pros / cons. Is that one negative to Samsung that you can handle with all the other pros they give? Or is it a deal breaker? etc. etc.

August 1 - unlocked phone, Switzerland. This is a freaking joke. Pixel XL isn’t an option here as they’re not sold in Switzerland

I received the November 1 security update this morning as well. Note8, on Verizon.
