Samsung have announced that OneUI (the new Samsung's user interface) will come to Galaxy S8, S8+, Note 8, S9 and S9+, so this is my question: do you think OneUI will come to the mid-range A8 2018 with the next official Android Pie update?
Thank you for your feedback
No, it was confirmed that it will not. None but the flagships will get it (S8 and up and the Note 8 and up series).

Here it is https://www.theandroidsoul.com/samsung-one-ui-device-list-and-release-date/
I do hope we get it unofficially though. It'll be a shame to pass on a perfectly good device.

This is sad news (if that is true). Maybe Samsung will include OneUI in their new A8S next year. This proof shows that Samsung mistreat their mid-range and low-range devices.
Do you think OneUI will be available with a custom ROM? (this would require root access, right?)
Thank you again
It should come judging by previous a series phones which all received 2 major updates, and pie would be the 2nd major update for the a8. I doubt Samsung would develop a special version of pie that is not one UI for the a8, and it would make sense to use one UI.
A8 One UI
Samsung has officially announced in the members app that the A8 will get one UI and pie in April 2019

maybe it's too early to ask or dumbest question, but any news for S7 getting next upgrade?
Android Oreo is last big update for S7.
ah that's sad. SD820/exynos + 4GB of ram is more than enough to running an android 9.
Unfortunately. The S9 is a crap phone. Ugly, and the horrible curved sides are stupid and interfere with proper case protection. Not even sure there's any variation of the S9 with unlocked an bootloader.
:/
The S7 Hardware is compatible with the Android Pie, the Snapdragon 820 (or Exynos 8890) run perfectly, but the Sammy don't want give the update.

Not any US variation, but the Exynos model is same as always with official TWRP support and ROM's.

So you're saying the Exynos S8 and S9 still have unlocked bootloaders? I swear I had read that that stopped being the case, but I'd welcome being wrong.

Yep, there's big development sections for both
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/samsung-galaxy-s9--s9-cross-device-development
The TWRP thread also has the same bootloader unlock steps, but reading it now it does mention apparently phones have a 7 day cool down before OEM unlock becomes possible.

The S7 flat was the last hardware Samsung did right in a phone. The Samsung experience is overblown. The curved screen is gimmick. The specs for S8 and S9 are not great for the $ compared to S7. I wouldn't hold my breath for anything awesome in Android 9, which will take a year to never. Until then, LOS 16 will become stable and bug free.
Have a good day.

No, that'd be the S5 which still had a removable battery and did it while still being water-resistant.

Same thoughts here... Good day to you too.
So, are we saying that the last update for the S7 was Android 8.0.0 (obvious), or are we saying that Samsung has proclaimed that there will be no Android 9 update to the S7 (not so obvious)?

i really hope the android pie will be the last for S7/Edge. but, the latest security patch i've got is 1st august, so i think there's no chance for S7/Edge to get the android pie. 2 year for major upgrade and 3/4 year for security patch (Quarterly not monthly).
November security patch
Nothing official but there is always lineage os or other custom roms.
Someone may end up porting pie touchwiz but probably not anytime soon

Ofcourse they won't give the update, they just want to sell new phones instead of keeping the old ones running.
Even the Google security patches takes really long time for them to push out, i waited 4 months on security patches even thou they are obligated to push them out within 90 days.
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 ...
as mentioned in above subject just curious about updated version of Android 10.
are we going to get it officially ? if not then any hope for any custom rom developer will work on our device for android 10 ?
thanks,
Officially not, Samsung already revealed the phones that will get Android 10, and from the Galaxy series, only S9 and S10 series will get it, S8 is out of feature updates.
Custom rom tho? It depends of the devs mostly, if no dev wants to work with Android 10, then possibly not custom Android 10 either
This is a sad news ?
At least we should get custom ROM in Android 10
I know, let's hope I guess, sounds difficult to do so tho
No Samsung UI 2.0 tho (well except if someone port a S9/N9/S10/N10 ROM to S8)
Do you have any idea what is Samsung going to do in UI2.0
To be honest, I don't know, but I guess more features? not sure which ones tho
S8 launched with android 7, right?
And we got 8, 9 updates.
So R.I.P S8.

Yep I just picked a pixel 3a XL and it's awesome. Android 10 is really smooth and I believe these phones get 3 years of updates
We can say a lot of things about iPhones but man their support for a bazillion new official updates is a really nice thing.
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.
Hey Guys,
It's been a while since I last used a Samsung device, my last one being a Galaxy S3! Since then I've used Nexus and Pixel devices which get updates immediately, although I don't except Samsung to match the speed, I was just curious to hear from long time Samsung users to know how far has Samsung come to quickly rollout updates?
Thanks!
They've gotten much much better. I'm not sure if it's the same with unlocked versions but I get updates pretty quickly compared to how it used to be through my carrier.

I would think a public beta would be coming pretty soon and full rollout for Android 11 by end of the year.
The Samsung Wearable app just received an update for OS R support.
Public Beta for OneUI 2.0 began on Oct 14th last year for select devices. Seems Samsung may be slightly ahead of the schedule they were on last year so I'm hoping we see a public beta for one ui 3.0 in the next 2-3 weeks. Beta will likely open up to S20 line first then the Note line. If you are on either S20 or Note 20 I would expect official stable release before the year is out. Likely sometime in the month of December.
I was on a Verizon branded note 10+ that time last year and got the Android 10 update towards the end of December.

Great to hear! I remember on my S3 I used to get so frustrated with the amount of time Samsung used to take to rollout updates. I own the AT&T Note 20 Ultra, hopefully it won't be delayed for long
I want to say it was January until I got the update on my unlocked Note 10.

Well, their testing Android 11 with OneUI 3.0 for the S20 series, no word yet on the Note 20 series

Honestly back then it made a noticeable difference in feature sets. That's no longer the case TBH. Samsung runs a pretty refined software experience, and stock android is now kanging Samsung. Almost every feature Google introduces, Samsung has had for some time.
