Those news makes you regret to have bought a device which wasn't a nexus!

For other phones official updates are pretty limited. You get one major update when you're lucky, and very few security updates... let's hope android evolves to something like windows in the way OEM deal with the OS, meaning that they'll add things on top of the OS, at the same layers to application, that way, you can add/remove things and update to your convenience.

Wonder if Samsung and Verizon might be able to push an update to Nougat for the S6 by the end of year.

 

Would be nice.

Samsung and Verizon are seemingly pretty good at updating their stuff, I got Android M earlier this year and hoping that I'll get Android N either by the end of the year or early next year.

Time flies. Sadly my phone won't be getting it anyway. :/

Time to head on over to XDA-Developers and get rootin' and tootin'!

That's what I've got to do with my Note 3 since Samsung and other phone manufacturers fail to understand that not everyone is going to update to the "latest, greatest" device, even if they can afford such an upgrade. There's nothing wrong with my Note 3 and its' Snapdragon 800 CPU with 3GB of RAM - it still runs beautifully, apart from the usual slowdowns that having stock 4.4.2 Android with TouchWiz bring.

My S4 hasn't had an update for long, took weeks for them to patch the quadrooter exploit for instance (2 vulnerabilities are still present by the way, which sucks balls damn hard since those can be exploited for privileges elevation). That being said it got the update from J to L, it probably could've handled the one from L to K though.

And I am sure Galaxy devices will get it sometime in 2018

Idk I think Verizon and Samsung might get on top of updating the S6 sooner, hard to say though.

I've beta tested it for a bit now. Honestly I don't use any of the new features much. Subtle UI changes are nice though. I unfortunately have seen a drop in battery life though.

how much of a drop in battery, seeing as you have a 6P?

I used to go through a day with 30-40% remaining, now I am left with 15-20%, sometimes even need to stop to charge. Suddenly google play services and android system started using a lot of battery, before they would use 1-5%, being at the bottom of the list. Now they use 10-15% each. It could be me and I did something after updating to cause this, my friends haven't beta tested so I can't confirm.

 

Tons of apps didn't work when I started the beta, stuff like Pokemon Go rarely working. That has improved greatly since I started the beta as apps updated, although I still occasionaly have problems with apps not unlocking via fingerprint from an app.

Follow the topics you create using the "Follow" button in the top right corner!

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!

Now to make a custom ROM for my TF201, or wait for one to be released.

You might want to remove yourself from the beta program so you don't get developer previews installing automatically in the future. Since your on a stable release this doesn't wipe your device.

Would be nice.

Sources seem to indicate it will be January or February before Samsung devices start to get N, and even then it will begin with the N7 and S7 and work down from there. Of course these are just guesses and no one actually knows for sure.

 

Still I don't expect my M8 to get it at all, thank god for rooting :)

You can get the rom image from Google Dev Portal and manually flash if you choose to.

Currently having a mental debate with myself about updating my Nexus 6P. I mean, there's nothing wrong with Marshmallow, but that viewing windows side by side feature is really appealing...

Benchmark Results: 3DMark Firestrike: 10,528 | SteamVR VR Ready (avg. quality 7.1) | VRMark 7,004 (VR Ready)

 

Other systems I've built:

Core i5-4590 | Intel Stock Cooler | Gigabyte GA-H97N-WIFI | HyperX Savage 2x4GB DDR3 | Seagate 500GB | Intel Integrated HD Graphics | Fractal Design Arc Mini R2 | be quiet! Pure Power L8 350W

 

I am not a professional. I am not an expert. I am just a smartass. Don't try and blame me if you break something when acting upon my advice.

The prospect that Nougat could slow my phone down significantly.
