Will we ever get Oreo?

[Tim1954]

I'm sure you will get it once all the cheaper models do in Somalia, Turkishtan and Poland....

Re: Note 8 Oreo?

I am not sure we'd miss much. In fact, I was always under the impression that phones work best with the OS they come with. Updated OSes are often not tuned as well for the device as the original.

That does tend to be true, I remember my Galaxy S3, it was the International Exynos 32GB model, but it only came with 1GB RAM until they did the 4G LTE version with 2GB RAM...anyway, after being updated to 4.1.2 Jellybean, the phone became unbearable to use with RAM running out quickly, it could literally only hold 2-3apps maximum before it began closing them.

On the other hand I remember my first Android, the Xperia X10, that phone came with a highly customised Android 1.6 that had a lot of Android 2.1 features baked in by Sony Ericsson. The phone eventually got Android 2.1 and the battery life saw a tremendous increase, my X10 saw an extra 2hours of usage more than before on a charge, and then SE eventually skipped Android2.2 Froyo and went straight to Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread, and the phone got even faster after they removed their TimeScape and MediaScape apps. The Xperia X10 was an example of updates that consistently improved the phone.

I find that the Galaxy S4 also saw performance improvement when it got to Android 5.0.1.


The Galaxy Note 4 at first was not great on the Android 5 update, but saw great performance on 5.1.1. I think the Note 4 is one phone that overall was never ever as good as it was after it left Android 4.4 KitKat, it's initial FW.

My Mate 9 is another example of a handset that was not negatively affected by an update, but that thing is a gorilla.

Those Huaweis are running on some other kind of magic, lol! I hear even the Mate8 is running just fine for most people.

Seriously underrated devices.

Totally untrue. The Oreo update is fantastic and it bring new features to the phone. Some updates may not work out well due to a few glitches, however they are soon fixed. A good example is the Pixel series phone and the issues it had.

[Mr-Guy]

why is everyone so anxious to add a potential problem to their phone?

 

[kitmo]

Re: Note 8 Oreo?

The way it's going by the time we get Oreo we will be getting ready to pre order the Note 9!

 

[monil]

We'll get it 1 month before Android P is released for the pixels lol. Better late than never! At least we don't get cutting edge updates with several flaws and issues like my iPhone gets. I'll take the security updates every 2 months and a stable build os update annually over continuously broken updates. Which is what we'd get if it was rushed.

I believe thats Developer Preview 1.. No where close to a daily driver/ public beta. It may not be the right comparison.
