Galaxy S8 Pie Update: 7 Reasons to Get Excited & 3 Not To
Potential for Other Missing Android Pie Features | |||||||||||
 | |||||||||||
Samsung sometimes holds features back from older phones due to hardware limitations. It also likes to keep some software features exclusive for a period to help sell its current flagships. Again, we expect the Galaxy S8 to get some software features from the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy Note 9, but don't expect it to get all of them. The company plans to launch its new Galaxy 10 on February 20th. The Galaxy S10 will likely come with additional tweaks to Android Pie and Samsung's One UI. If Samsung decides to bring some of the Galaxy S10's software features to the Galaxy S8, it won't happen overnight. And it might not happen at all. Third-party developers will likely bring missing features to the Galaxy S8 down the road, but installing them will require time, effort, and a skill-set that some Galaxy S8 users might not have. | |||||||||||

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?
