Galaxy S8 Pie Update: 7 Reasons to Get Excited & 3 Not To
Get Excited for Bug Fixes, Enhancements & Security | |||||||||||
 | |||||||||||
Lots of Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, and Galaxy S8 Active users are still struggling with bugs and performance issues on Android Oreo. Android Pie won't fix them all, but we expect the update to bring improvements. Samsung hasn't confirmed the update means we don't have an official change log just yet. That said, we expect the company, and its carrier partners, to tack on bug fixes, security patches and improvements, and performance enhancements. Major updates always have them. Huge Android updates like Pie have also been known to correct battery drain problems, lag, and issues with connectivity (GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth). If you're struggling on Android Oreo right now, or if you're concerned about security, Android 9.0 Pie should help. We also expect the Galaxy S8 Android Pie update to bring the latest security patches from Google and Samsung as well as security features like Lockdown mode. | |||||||||||

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?
