Hello fellows!
I just wanted to create a thread like last year when we all waited impatiently for the beta.
So let's discuss right here when you think the S9 will get the beta and lets keep us always up to date right here!
Cheers!
Mehdi
Right now this is being tested on the DBT server for the S9+.
In the last couple of days there are frequently new Android 10 builds showing up. Same goes for the Korean model and the US unlocked model.
Plans are which I have from an insider source at Samsung that they are planning on releasing the stable version for the S9 in January 2020 which would be really fast for Samsung.
For the S10 and Note 10 series they want to rel EW as it in December.
My guess is we will see the S9 getting the beta around November maybe early November or so.
It's not officially stated if the S9 and S9+ or Note 9 will get a Beta program though. Would make sense as last year the S8 and Note 8 got in and even some A series phones. Maybe Samsung Discovered through last year thanks to good interest and input that with more beta programs for more devices they can fix bugs faster and release the sable version quicker.
First of all, this is not a development thread so it should NOT be in the development section.
Second, there's already a discussion thread on this topic here:

Please search before posting and always post in the right sections.

ANDROID Lollipop for GALAXY S5 general discussion (news&leaks&problems&expectations)
The Samsung Galaxy S5 may join the LG G3 in getting updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop before the end of this year. Earlier today, an LG rep apparently said as much regarding his company's current flagship smartphone.
Now though it looks like LG's arch-rival from its home country of South Korea doesn't want to be left behind. According to a new rumor, Samsung will start rolling out the Android 5.0 update for the Galaxy S5 sometime in December.
That's when the deployment will commence, though as usual it will take a few weeks for all regional versions of the S5 to get the new bits. Still, given that Google has yet to release a final variant of Lollipop, this would be a very fast update timeline for both the G3 and the S5, and the new software would come much sooner than for past flagships getting Android version bumps.
A test build of Lollipop for the Galaxy S5 got previewed a few weeks back, and since Samsung was clearly already working on the update at that time, the rumored release time frame may just pan out. We'll have to wait and see.

Hi all,
Will Samsung ever release the most new updated Touchwiz UI called Samsung Experience 8.5 or 8.1 for our Note 5? Whats your opinion? If any news related to this, please post here....
It won't happen, at least the Note5 is already dead. Maybe the S7 could get it but our Note5 is already 2 years old, Planned Obsolescence means that if we want the new UI: Buy a new phone or Modify it.
it never will be
Nice
Thanks
For T-mobile Samsung Note 5 ...Android oero is comfirmed
See the T-mobile official website page

So no news about Android 8 to note 8?
Google will moe to 8.1 to pixels and in March they'll have beta to p, that's always the same problem with Samsung phones
Oreo beta will be out soon. First week next month or even this month. And the reason why it takes so much time for Samsung is because they have A LOT more software modifications and features that AOSP phones don't have. Recently I saw news that some AOSP Lenovo phone will get Oreo but next year! 2018Q2. So Samsung is pretty quick if You think about it. And Google released Oreo source just like 1.5 month ago. And in 1.5 month after source release we get beta. So it's extremely quick.

Not excited about 8.0 oreo but wants to know what Samsung will add to it... Something excited... Maybe
Have Oreo on our Nexus 6P. I don't see any difference between it and my Note 8, but I haven't gone looking for anything either. I just set the 6P up from a full factory reset for my wife. She wants to give it a try before possibly getting a Pixel 2. Seemed like the same experience as I'm used to to set it up.
What I found when I used the 6P was that being on the bleeding edge of major updates was not always a good thing. They were usually somewhat buggy, normally showing up as apps that became battery drainers under the new level, until their developers fixed them. It got to the point where I would not take a release until it had been out for a few months. Google uses the first adopters as Beta testers, IMO.
If an Oreo beta does come. Is it possible for me to sign up for the beta program so I can use it? I was in blackberry's android beta and bb10 beta program for so long.
Yeah I would like to know how to sign up for the beta program
TBH, not too bothered about Oreo since I don't think it'll add much to the already awesome Note 8 feature set.
My beef is with the slow rollout of security updates, waiting 2 months or more is IMHO a dereliction of duty on Samsung's part.
I remember the nougat beta on the S7 for the Samsung. Wondering if there will be something similar for the N8.

Android Q was officially released today for pixel phones, so does anyone have a guess as to when it will reach this device? Also, is there anywhere online I could find a detailed look at all the changes in the new OS?
It's not Android Q, it's Android 10. And that question is impossible to answer. 3rd-parties to Google don't start rolling-out these updates for at least a few months after initial release unless you're part of a beta/tester program.
Android Q(Globally named) aka Android 10 with One UI 2.0 in case of Samsung .... probably max to December or in worst case at the beginning of 2020... Most probably, as on previous updates(major ones), November this year...
My bet - February 2020.
Based on Note 8 and Pie release dates.
So 5 months to wait.
It's even less than half a year [emoji14]
Hi! I'm seriously considering buying a refurbished Note 9 but noticed that Android 10 would be its second OS update after just 1 year and 4 months. Samsung's update policy is 2 OS updates with at least 3 years of security updates, does this mean Note 9 won't be updated to Android 11? This would be pretty bad if true. Just looking for someone to clear this up. Thanks.

Normaly in the past for all other models, things went as you said... 2, max 3 OS updates so maybe note 9 might have Android 11.

not sure what youre talking about. the note 9 has had constant updates all year on both the U and the F versions. To double check historical updates, you can look on sammobile.com/firmwares to see the last few releases. sammobile is pretty decent about keeping historical device links active.
Here is the link to the F version and there is a selector for the different variants as well right above the download links

I mentioned OS updates a.k.a Android version updates not security updates. Note 9 launched with Android 8.1, received Android 9 last year and Android 10 this year. That's 2 version updates already which is usually Samsung's limit (3 years of security updates not not withstanding). Note 9 based on past flagships shouldn't receive Android 11.

oh, you mean the separate versions of Android. You said updates, and they are starkly different things. Also, even within the Android "version" are releases which are also "Android version updates". Not trying to split hairs, rather clarify and help avoid people answering the question you asked vs the one you meant to ask.
So, the answer to that is very unlikely. Android releases are just a hair faster than the phone hardware releases and ive never seen more than 2 years of support on any phone, much less a Samsung one. Check my sig for currently owned Samsung phones.
Well you could see the history repeating it self, in this case we have note 8 wgich didn't get android 10, so i gues this will be the same with note9 when android 11 comes.
