J5 software update to Pie

[DJT]

Has anyone in the UK received the J5 software update to Pie which was scheduled for October? My phone is sim free but on the EE network and I am still waiting for the update.

All the carrier based SM-J530F's in the UK can be updated to Pie (EVR/O2U/VOD) according to Sammobile, but currently none of the carrirer-free phones (XEU/BTU) received the Android 9 firmware.

Thanks for your help. 

I will be pleasantly surprised if the phone is updated in the future then!

I don't think that you're never gonna get the update, but as I saw from the firmware history the gap can be as little as a few days to 2 months.

Yeah it's probably improved A Lot by now but back in 2017 when nougat was rolling out to the A3 2016 it came out originally in a few countries in April and I got it in mid-August on BTU software
