So I was looking at PhoneArena, and apparently, we're getting Marshmallow in February 2016. Link: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Road...evices-will-be-updated-to-Marshmallow_id75779
What do you think about this?
No Exynos (C/H/U) love?
Add exynos model U to the list. I still don't have Android 5.1.1 on my n910u note 4. Looks like marshmellow will be a long wait.

I dont believe in this as in most of the cases samsung get behind the schedule...
But in some rare cases they actually get far ahead of the competition.
Example note 3(exynos)
It received lollipop before note 4.
So i think we(n910g) might get marshmallow in late december or early jan...
Or atleast get few leaked firmware.
Note 5 is getting the update as we speak, a user posted it in their section

Someone getting a test version by accident isn't the same as an official update. February is pretty far away, but I'll probably get the S7 if it comes with a 4K screen anyway so it doesn't really matter.
My god, a three month wait is an eternity for products with such a short life-cycle.

LOL! But yeah, Samsung update situation is pretty bad, esp with Note 4.
Just chill. I've been observing this pattern since 3 years. Whenever google releases an android update in october, it takes atleast 3 to 4 months for samsung to get it on their high-end phones. So expect marshmallow somewhere in late december or january.

been out since nov 1st. battery is great on 5.1.1
And by the time the Note 4 does get 6.0 Google will have out either 6.0.2 or be ready for 6.1, also not all regions will see it in Feb next year if that roadmap is legit.
The Simfree Note 4 in the UK for example will be lucky if they see it before the Summer next year.
I love Samsung phones but their update policy is dire, my spare simfree Galaxy Alpha only recently got 5.0.2.
I've now switched to the Nexus 6 as my main phone, & sold the Note 4 months ago because of the lack of updates.

Wrong. It doesn't means that you'll get 6.0 by february. If another update (6.0.1, 6.1.1, etc) arrives while the Touchwized 6.0 version is in development, it will be adapted to the lastest version. I.e we never had 5.0, instead we had got 5.0.1 and then 5.1.1 excluding 5.0.2. This means that if any other update comes out, 6.0 will probably be excluded.
Samsung is doomed to lose a lot of Sam customers with this.
1 They've decided to release phone with No SD Slots, No removable batteries and count all the N4 hate list!!!
This looks like my last Sam Phone
Man, I would lose my temper if the Marshmallow on the Note 4 is worse than the Marshmallow on the A-E series. I mean, seriously, A-E series gets themeable Lollipop while we're stuck in old TouchWiz? Freaking blasphemy!
It's the latest.

Your petition is biased.
Why not SM-N910 to make it general?
Anyway I'm of the opinion that since the phone was released in October 2014, it should be updated to Nougat because its two-year OS eligibility falls within the time Nougat was officially released by Google.
Not to mention we would have a Note7 by now if Samsung hadn't messed it up. But I agree, the petition is not inclusive for all models .
I only said that I have the F version. I didn't said that only that version deserved the update.

I agree completely, it should be N910 in general but I saw the OP reply below and he is correct that the petition he wrote it just stating his model and not to get nougat only for the F model. I also agree with the second point and have been sort of annoyed with Samsung for this, it's supposed to be 2 year OS update so as mentioned, Oct. 2014 for Note 4 launch and since Nougat came out in August 2016 we should have it. Add to that, a lot of us Note 4 owners bought, and ultimately lost, the Note 7's thanks to Samsung and as a gesture to sort of make up for that they should have added the Note 4 to the Nougat release.
Anyway going slightly off topic;
I love my Note 4 but am ready for a new device. Personally, I love the s-pen and hate to give it up but if the pricing rumors hold true and the conversion to Canadian is somewhat accurate it would be in the $1300 range (give or take) for the S8 so Note 8 would likely be in the same price range. No way will I accept those prices but I will wait and see with the S8 info that comes later today and decide from there. The Note 7 was $1050 CDN, I won't support Samsung if the Note 8 is anything above MAX $1100 CDN and less than 64GB storage (and better have expandable) as that is expensive enough as it is and pushing it IMO.
I'm waiting to see the OnePlus 5 later this year and will likely buy that if Samsung starts going to ridiculous Apple prices. Google also lost me after the Pixel phones being ridiculously overpriced as well. I mean, they want more for the Pixel XL than Samsung wanted for the Note 7... WTF Google?!? That's like LG and HTC thinking they can price at the same range as Samsung as well when they have so little to offer or reason to buy over Samsung and especially over some of these new phones from OnePlus, Huawei, etc... but $1180 for 128GB Pixel XL/$1050 for 32GB Pixel XL compared to $1050 for 64GB Note 7 and well the Note 7 was the far better deal, and phone.
Anyway, that's my rant/2 cents lol.

Now it is officially confirmed that we wont get Android Q... Cheers!
It was a mistake buying Honor Play. My previous phone was Honor 5x. It launched with Lollipop in 2016 and was promised '2 years update'. The updates were discontinued after barely 8 months after and I got stuck with Marshmallow. Luckily I unlocked my phone and was able to use custom ROMs to mitigate the problem.
I decided to give Honor a second chance, despite all the controversies. The Honor Play was being offered at a good value after the price drop. It's probably one of the worst decisions made. Obviously performance is there, but bootloader was locked. Still I would live with that. And now this! Wow! Phones with the same chipset (P20) and cheaper price (8X) are getting the update and we are not!
Learned my lesson the hard way. Never ever buying any Honor or Huawei again, and will avoid Chinese companies as much as possible.
I don't buy this story one bit, as it was a similar case with my Galaxy S6 Edge receiving an Oreo update which it never did. And if the inferior 8X can handle the latest software, why can't the Play do the same? It's beyond me really (in case, it's true).

You can check other replies from the Twitter page/ Honor Club forums/ Huawei Central website...
This has become basically a scam.
If they relent and push update like they did for Honor 7x I'll be okay. But I'm never ever buying Honor products again.
SO its better to have the latest OS that could cripple the phone as specs not good enough (so they say), then having a older OS on and fast etc phone ?
I love updates and new features, but not if im going to be frustrated with the phone lagging or harder to use
I know what I would prefer, plus it not like Pie is some old old software and suddenly apps wont support it
I'm so done with Huawei.
Finger crossed. I bought two Honor play phones and View 20 and later gave out one Honor play to a friend and Honor View 20 to a girl friend. This source that claims 'low hardware' as the reason for Honor Play not receiving Android 10 is not authoritative to me.
My believe is that Android 10 will come later next year as floated online initially.

The source is trustable. That is the official Honor India page. And they have given this reply to multiple tweets.
The people in Honor support chat has said this as well. Obviously this claim of theirs is a bogus claim but the chance of us getting the update is very dim. There is a chance that regions other than India would get the update but this is very unlikely because the largest market for the phone was India.
It's honor india. They done the same thing with other honor phones too.
Still, after hearing that, i might stop getting a huawei phone and i'm sorry for you all that you got this underwhelming news

I thought as much. The most questionable part of the India's Honor tweet is the low hardware reference on Honor Play when compared to 8X that would receive Android 10. It doesn't make sense to me.

In response to an email honor UK said this.
In response to your inquiry, kindly note that the Honor Play is not yet scheduled to receive the Android 10 / EMUI 10 upgrade. So far, the only Honor models confirmed to receive the update are Honor 20, Honor 20 Pro and Honor View 20.
Of course, we are constantly testing the update on other models as well, so there is a possibility that the Honor Play will receive the upgrade in the future. Therefore, we invite you to keep an eye on our official website and social media platforms for any official announcements.
It's ok, the different parts of the company are confused, or there's no control over what their staff post. Best to be sure and only get Android One or Pixel phones in future if you're concerned about updates as Huawei,Honor,Moto etc etc just launch so many phones there's no way they are going to support all of them. It's disappointing when you get a phone and find 14 months in it's abandoned but there you go. You live and learn. No more Huawei/Honor phones for me. There are a million Android phones out there and they're all pretty much the same hardware wise as far as I'm concerned - it's the software that's important. If Google are going to spend loads adding AR or whatever but I'm not going to be able to use it because some dodgy Chinese company can't get its **** together then I'm not interested.
I believe that Honor Play will get Emui 10. Let's just wait and see. All the Kirn 970 devices will get it. Huawei said that there would be more than 35 models getting EMUI 10. But there are only 33 models in the list. Moreover, according to the circled words, more models are on their way so this is not the final list. In addition, Honor Note 10 is not in the list either.

I hope so. Honor Play is just too good in its category to let go not updated - when it has a capable hardware.
As i know Honor uk already said that the Update comes in February 2020?!
It may not get EMUI 10 but maybe it will get android 10? ???
Seems like we gonna get it

So I'm stuck with what's on here now. I just cant see spending another $1000.00 for a new phone. Its getting ridiculous with all these new devices coming out.
I think that S8 doesn't deserve Android Q because it has like 3 years old but Note 8 just had 1 year and 11 months when android 10 final was released.

Both the SGS8 series and the Note 8 were both released in the same year. The old differences is that the SGS8 was released earlier than the Note 8. That said they both run on the same hardware with the exception that the Note 8 has the S-Pen.

This sounds good on paper, but it is still an "old" device (in 2020) that will soon suffer a similar (unsupported) fate to the Note 8 in a few more months.
I believe Samsung is in the business of primarily selling only new phones, so I suspect the Note8's performance may become throttled like an old iPhone in the monthly security updates.
I can't consider selling my Note8 to buy a Note9 for a few dollars more when they are basically the same thing just to get Q. I'm not yet seeing a feature in the Note10 to make me part with my money other than the eye-candy interface.
Q is not worth spending extra cash for. Have tried it on my N9 and N10 and went back to Pie on both. Just my opinion others love it. I still use my N8 and it is still one of the best devices out there in 2020, but let's face it Samsung only gives 2 major updates to a device so S8 Note 8 will not be getting it. Can it support it??? I'm sure it can but Samsung wants to make money by getting boneheads like me to purchase a new device.

Yes both have same hardware but Note 8 has 6GB RAM and Dual camera and the S8 4GB with a Single camera. I think that a mobile that was release near 2018 by 1000$ deserved Android Q. Samsung policies must change in the flagship.
What's even worse is I'm running a Touchwiz Android 9 rom with Android 10 apps on my 6 edge plus. International device used here in United states with wifi calling..video calls..advanced messaging and volte. My point is if the old 6edge plus can handle this there is no reason the S8 or N8 cant. But I just dont see it happening. Many will read this thread and ask what's the point. But I like to see things like this talked about even if it doesn't go anywhere.

It's not financially viable to support an old device for another year... It might make people NOT shell out $1000+ for a new device if the operating system is the same & officially supported....
It takes a special breed to root, flash and enjoy the fruits of our labour that most people WON'T do with a device that cost a large chunk of cash. Hell, most people don't even know what Android 10 is.
The average consumer has no idea how, or why it's a good thing to use the latest operating system...
Yes this was the point I made before. It's all about $$$$[emoji16]. And you are exactly right, we are a rare breed on xda. Most people get a device because it looks good. Not because of battery..display..themes..roms...root..disable this keep that...camera...lol its shiny so I'm buying it.

I don't think those articles about the Note 8 getting Android 10 is incorrect. As the Note 8 has already received 2 major android OS updates. However we should still receive security patches for android Pie.

Interesting phone, i wanted to get it, but asus decided to remove sd slot, and to put usb 2.0 type-c port. There is nothing flagship about that
I know that doesnt matter to most users, but cmon, its 2021... Usb 2.0 on a sd888 16gb ram ufs 3.1 phone???
Hope to see twrp and some good rom too it soon
Just placed my order.
Have 14 days to try it out and to see if it will replace my IPhone 12 mini.
Truly fantastic phone. instant buy.
Hope GCam will be available for non root device.
Question to the Asus longtime users.
Is there any way to get the phone cheaper at launch? some special promo ot stuff?
Can someone verify if there will be a USA release? The current spec sheet doesnt have compatible 5g bands for T-Mobile.
@Haldi4803
here in Germany there is a little Promo for Pre-Order
and a Shop sell the 128gb with 8GB for 599€
How is the ASUS politics about bootloader unlock and de-googling phones? I would buy it as soon as I can use it without Google.
The battery life seems really pitiful and with that 33w lackluster charging I do not feel it's that great a device these paid reviewers are making it to be. 5.5 hours SOT is not something to boast about.
It would've been perfect if ASUS would've chosen the Snapdragon 870, which makes sense considering the mediocre cameras that don't even need the DSP of the 888 and almost equal performance to it and much better throttling/thermals and battery efficiency.
So sad.

No, Ubuntu is not feasible at the moment, unfortunately their OS is not compatible with many phones and they do not have all the apps. Yes, I know you were ironic, btw.
FYI, I would like to use it with LineageOS or similar ROMs, without gapps, for a variety of reasons:
Because I do not need most of Google apps and services;
Because Google Play Services eats battery doing things I do not want to,;
Because I like having more control of what is happening on my devices;
There are also a privacy concern which is real, Rob Braxman on YouTube can tell you more about that.
Regarding my initial question (that you haven't replied), I suppose I will keep monitoring the XDA and 4pda forums and see how things will evolve.
Asus provide bootloader utility for previous devices, should be up for zenfone 8 soon.
I will add signature spoofing and degoogle stock rom. I have done it for all my devices: improved battery life and full control.
When is the phone going to be released in the UK? Cannot find any information whatsoever?
