Galaxy S8 Pie Update: 7 Reasons to Get Excited & 3 Not To

The Galaxy S8's Android Pie update will fix lingering Android Oreo problems, but it will almost certainly bring some problems of its own. The Galaxy S8 Pie beta and the internal testing by Samsung and its carriers partners will catch a lot of bugs and performance issues, but issues always slip into the final version. Major updates like Android Pie typically bring the worst issues and many of you will run into problems once you make the switch from Android Oreo. Samsung almost always has to halt its roll out due to major issues so don't be surprised if you hear about a widespread issue or two after the Galaxy S8 Pie roll out begins. | |||||||||||

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?
