Chances are pretty slim. S7 line never seen 7.1, my phone still running 7.0. Samsung does not think that its customers need OS updates.

Surely I should not be asking when S7 XEU phones will be getting Oreo

I bought my S7 Edge from Harrods, which was unlocked - still had to wait God knows how long for Nougat update. Vodaphone users have got this update before me. I would understand month of delay, but why my phone still on Android 7.0... Apple releases their software on one day to dozen different phones and tablets. I do not think that Samsung offering is substantially bigger than Apple one. I fully appreciate Samsung excellence in hardware space, but their software shortens phone life to 2-3 years. Apple gives at least 5 major updates before taking a phone from the list.

Dear Samsung. Why is it so difficult for you to tell your users when they would receive their updates? Is it such unmanageable task? Is it really? Well, Apple and Google seem to be ok with delivering software on announced dates. Another thing - do you really think that £800 phone deserves only two major updates? Guys, seriously, this is not how you make people buying your next phone. And what exactly do you do with Google software for 10 months before giving it to us? Samsung phone - never again for me - in two years time shiny hardware becoming an outdated brick - thank you Samsung.

Hello Samsung, Are you planning to provide S7 owners with UI improvments delivered with S8 release? I know that S8 Touchwiz can unofficially run on S7, so it should not be a big effort for you to delivery official upgrade.

It is defeneatly Touchwizz, since every gui element belongs to it. Can this be requested from Samsung? No one needs that button on permanent basis.

According to some suggestions, it was possible to remove app drawer from Touchwiz using Galaxy Lab setting, that were removed with nougat update. It looks like that app drawer button can not be removed from Samsung deiveces running nougat. Is any other way of doing it? I do not need that button all the time, but it takes precious one position from five available in Touchwiz fixed launcher. I know that I could used other launchers, but there are number of reason why I prefer Touchwiz.

Thank you BandOfBrothers, I checked updated and they are indeed available. Now I even more angry at Samsung - to get available firmare into my phone I installed windows on my Mac Book Air over this weekend - that was a wasted effort... But anyway, appart from that, it is a great news for many people.

That is a great news to most of us! Did they explicitly confirmed the year as 2017?

Do you have SD card installed by any chance? I had similar problem due to issues with SD card. Try copying data somewhere, reformatting it and installing back or even test with another card.

What Samsung tell us - buy it from us next time! Those who bought their S7 from Samsung have update for a month! Everyone else are not real customers, they are not loyal enought and their needs should not be considered by "Company".

I think you may void your warranty by installing different firmware, that is why I am not that keen on this solution.

Indeed, I pre-ordered my S7 edge from Harrods and was one of the fist customers who has got this phone here, in UK. I beleive this is my last Samsung phone, there is google who delivers latest OS withing a weeks of release. If Samsung does not need loyal customers, then we do not need Samsung.

Thanks Leon24xxx , So, if someone was lucky, he has got phone with BUT code and update was delivered by Samsung. If someone, for some reason, for example me, in London has got a phone with XEU code (for UK and Ireland) then we are forgotten by Samsung. Why there is plain UK and UK and Ireland? Is not it like London is plain UK? Do I really care? I hope that Samsung will be taken to court for that - they should not be able to take same money from two customers and treat them differently. Anyway Leon24xxx, I really appriciate your answers, thank you once again.

To Leon24xxx: There are reports that people in UK who were not part of Beta program have received an update, why rest of the people in UK who bought unlocked phones can not receive the same update after weeks of waiting? We paid same money for the same product... Would be good to hear what Samsung is thinking about this, it looks like Samsung does not care at all...

That sounds like official response from support guy. How "rolling in batches" explains that some people after few weeks of waiting does not have an update that some other already have? I could understand day or two, but not weeks or probably months(no one can tell when it will be finaly delivered, possibly, Andoind 8.0 will be relased by that time, who knows) I paid for my device same amount as someone why already has an update, why I am not getting the same level of serivce? I really want my money back! Best Regards, Very upset S7 Edge Owner in UK
