Good News Infinity Users -> Android 7.1 for Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ To Roll Out Soon
Samsung’s decision to ship the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ with Android 7.0 left many confused. The latest version of Google’s mobile operating system at the flagship’s launch was Android 7.1. It made sense for the company to release its new handset with the latest version of Android but it didn’t do that.
Then again, it’s not like the Android 7.1 update adds any major new features that Galaxy S8 owners have missed out on. It brings new emoji, launcher actions for the Pixel launcher and other minor tweaks. The emoji and launcher updates don’t really matter to Galaxy S8 owners since Samsung uses its own versions of both on its handsets.
Nevertheless, the Android 7.1 update for the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ should be rolling out soon. Vodafone Australia has updated its website to reflect that the new firmware release has been submitted for review. This means that it’s in the final stage before roll out.
The carrier itself mentions that this is going to be a “Stability and Bug Fix” update so users shouldn’t expect much in the way of new features. With a major Australian carrier coming close to rolling out Android 7.1 for Galaxy S8, it’s only a matter of time before said update is released for the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ in other markets across the globe.

Vodafone Australia does not bring the update out soon, but the roll out has already begun. *

The thing is , it won't give new features, or not that much.
The futur will be on Android O and how much time Samsung will take to push it on it S8

Finally. If you have the Samsung Galaxy S4 or the S4 mini then you’ll love what’s coming this weekend.
According to an internal Bell doc we received, owners of either of these Android devices will finally receive the upgrade to OS 4.3 Jelly Bean this coming Saturday, November 23rd. The update to 4.3 includes a number of long awaited features, most notedly Samsung’s KNOX security solution, better camera performance, plus compatibility with the Galaxy Gear smartwatch.
Samsung Galaxy S4 will be updated to version I337MVLUEMK6.
There is another, earlier thread on this also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535801

S4 I337 4.3 Update resumes

The AT&T-branded Samsung Galaxy S4 is once again getting its Android 4.3 update as an OTA. After an unexplained issue with the last Android 4.3 push, everything looks to be getting back underway according to Samsung's site and early reports on XDA. This is a big update for the GS4, but AT&T is probably going to take it slowly this time.
Screenshot_2013-11-27-13-57-29
Here's the full changelog from Samsung's site:
Android 4.3 OS upgrade
Samsung Galaxy Gear compatibility
Group Play 2.5
Samsung Apps
Knox
Drag and drop to uninstall or disable applications
Call reliability improvements
The new update is build number 1337UCUEMK2 – the last one was 1337UCUEMJ9. So Samsung had to change something, but the very short turnaround time indicates it wasn't anything major (some users reported keyboard issues on MJ9). The update is pretty hefty at 719MB if you're coming from the Android 4.2 software. There is also a patch from MJ9 to MK2 for people who got the last OTA that clocks in at just 28.07MB. Begin hammering the update button – no promises, though.
It's official. Check the original website given below.

Samsung s4 GE already got 4.4 update, I337 getting 4.3 now.
When can we expect 4.4 for I337 official???
There are more than enough threads for this already... closed

Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+ and Note8 will reportedly not get the new One UI

Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+ and Note8 will reportedly not get the new One UI

Tom's Guide, who were present at the Samsung Developer Conference yesterday, asked a company representative if One UI, which is the replacement for the Samsung Experience, would make it onto the previous generation of Galaxy smartphones. The response to the website won't please many:
Disappointingly though, Samsung has confirmed to Tom's Guide that the Galaxy S8, S8+ and Note 8 will miss out on this new modernized and streamlined software experience.
Although the above statement isn't an official announcement from Samsung, as xdadevelopers reports, it does raise questions about how Samsung will be expected to support multiple versions of the Android Pie update which, although not officially confirmed yet, is set to arrive on those earlier devices as a second major update. It seems odd that Samsung would release Android 9.0 with Samsung Experience for the S8, S8+ and Note8 and then Android 9.0 with One UI for the S9, S9+ and Note9.
Although we have no doubt in the validity of this report, we do hope that the Samsung spokesperson was misinformed, and that One UI makes its way to Samsung's 2017 flagships along with Android Pie and a proper 'Dark mode'.

There is a chance of a s9 port?
As I always state in cases as such...There is no need just yet to sharpen pitch forks or light the torches Every time news like this comes out the community always gets bent out of shape..Goes nuts.And more
Until this is confirmed and true I wouldn't even really comment on this topic.
Same happened with "patched" root methods,That ended up being false,As well as other "true" reports...
If this is true. It just shows that Samsung took the same route as HTC, and taking a piss on their customers. They will loose in the long run on tactics like that.
S8 is definitely my last Samsung because of how it treats its last year's flag phones ...

S8 Confirmed Not Getting Android 10 (Q)

Bad news everyone samsung have just released there official update schedule for android 10 and the S8 is not on the list so it looks like samsung are still only doing 2 years of version updates. Which is sad I use an S8 as my work phone and an s10 plus as my daily will not be getting the s12 enless they change how long they support there devices for.
Just wanted to know people's thoughts on this and get a discussion going.
I have attached screenshots from the update schedule in my samsung members app on my S10.
Strange .. I believe J7 Prime from 2016 still getting Q, which is 3 years old. It already got Pie.
It came with Marshmallow.
