Galaxy S8 Pie Update: 7 Reasons to Get Excited & 3 Not To
Your Galaxy S8 Pie Update Could Be Months Away | |||||||||||
 | |||||||||||
The Galaxy S8 Android Pie update might start in February or March, but that doesn't mean everyone will get the software right away. If you own a Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+ on a popular carrier in a major market, you'll likely be first to Samsung's Android Pie update. The first phase of Samsung's Android roll outs is typically focused on bigger markets like the United States, South Korea, and select markets in Europe. The roll out usually starts there before moving onto smaller markets. In the United States, carriers like AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon usually get major updates out quicker than smaller regional carriers. For example, U.S. Cellular's Android Oreo updates arrived several weeks after larger carriers deployed their Android 8.0 upgrades. You can also expect the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ to get Android Pie before the Galaxy S8 Active. If you own an Active model, you'll probably get Android Pie a few weeks after everyone else. If you own a Galaxy S8 in a smaller region, on a smaller carrier, or if you own a Galaxy S8 Active, prepare for a long wait. | |||||||||||

I have the s7 now and have the s8, but on the s8, and the s7 I’ve noticed, that when an update didnt help cure some bugs the bugs just got worse, so skipping the 8.1 update, which is ment to aid in all suggested bugs is a fatal move, because if you enhance performance in a place you know their might be bugs, then you get a phone that struggles even more, by working with more enhancements, but with an apposing force… the bug. What I mean is the enhancement will have to work through bugs, that haven’t been cured. And I know that samsung knows this truly, EVREYTIME SAMSUNG AND OTHER ICONS LIKE APPLE RUSHED THEIR AID IN DEVELOPMENT, TH8NGS JUST GOT WORSE. PERIOD. this was unpleasant, but think… is it worth it to make things worse once again??!! Dont gete wrong the first time I got the s7, it was like a new heaven of UI was opened, so please samsung, I beg that you get this update finished in time, and not have pea0le get even more mad, and build up steam for a longer wait. Thankyou.

I think Samsung has capability issues & hence an upgrade takes a lot of time. Major devices competing with samsung are much faster in OS upgrades compared to samsung. It is quite dissapointing & I think it is time to move away from Samsung to the 6Ts & pixels of the world who are economical & technically superior.

Ehm… VoLTE is already supported for years (I have it on my Note 4 with Android 4) and VoWiFi is there already, too.
Imho this article could just be 1 page, the other 8 are just jibberjabber… making a comment on how S8 owners might not be able to install an app? Seriously?
