I get your guys point, but the device came with Android 7 out of the box, Android 8 was provided after the release of the device. So you have received 2 major updates, you also agreed to the policy within the T&Cs on start up.   You are also using a Mid-range device, I mean S8 and Note 8 will not be receiving this and these are Flagship devices. For people stating the J4+ and other devices will be receiving this, it’s quite simple. The J4+ was released with Android 8 out of the box, whereas the A8 was released with Android 7 out of the box. The J4+ was also released in October 2018, the A8 was released in January of 2018. Android 8 was not even in the optimisation stage for the A8 when this device was released as it was provided publically around Summer 2018. The device had been released for nearly a full year before Android 8 was even provided to the device.     This is not Samsung’s fault as you purchased a device that was nearly a year old. This is the reason you will not be receiving  Android 10, this not to upset the community. This because you Samsung have done this since Android 2.0 and you agreed in your T&C's to this that you will receive 2 major updates and security updates for the life of the device.   Starting a Petition will do nothing as your device has received the 2 major software updates, this has nothing to do with specs of a device its simply the policies you have agreed with by selecting 'I agree'.   The A8 has now switched to Security updates, if you wish to receive the newer software purchase a Flagship device or a newer device which comes with Android 8 or 9 out of the box. ...

@KellyByrneswrote: Hey,  I received my s9+ on Thursday and had a few issues with it. One of which was the super slow mo camera, I find it absolutely terrible and not a patch on the live launch.  Anyway, I'd complained to Samsung about this and a couple of other issues and they kindly exchanged my device.  The other issues have gone but the slow motion. Camera just seems pants! The quality is so dark and grainy.  I've attached 2 screenshots of what it looks like my side 1 on Auto and the other on super slow mo Just wondering if anyone can tell me if theirs looks the same. Thanks      Hi,   The super slow motion feature record's at 960 FPS, which would require alot more light for this feature.  the normal video mode only record's at 30 FPS which would not require as much light.  Please also try focusing on a certain subject whilst using the super slow motion feature see if this help's  also please make sure you have updated your android software version.  ...

@mm289wrote: Has anyne managed to get the face/iris recognition to work effectively? I am using it in the intelligent scan mode and it is useless. OK I wear glasses so I think that might be stopping iris recognition but the face part isn't any good iether.   I am used to facial recognition as I use it on MS Surface devices regularly and it just works, with glasses, without glasses and even when I change glasses!   But on the S9 (UK Dual Sim) nothing I try seems to make a difference - have to keep using the fingerprint scanner to unlock.   Any other experiences of this?   Thanks, Have you tried the individual lock features? Personally ive not heard any other report's regarding this feature  not working correctly. Possibly try to reset up intelligent Scan see if this helps resolve the issue.  Keep us updated.   Regards Baxter ... View more

@Starz12wrote: I'm glad to meet you. I am really happy with my s8 with I only got around 5 months ago. I did try to hold out for the s9 though. I haze recently received the Oreo update and do like it. I have noticed that I didn't get all the features that I should have but I suppose that is down to the carrier putting their own spin on things. I also noticed that my font on the home screen isn't as clear as it used to be. It's slightly blurry. It's only affecting the home screen though. Everything else is nice and clear. I thought it was my eyes. It's looks like you have had a night on the tiles even though I haven't been any any where. Lol. I just wished Samsung would send out there updates quicker than they do. This one I admit has been quicker than previous updates. Some I have had to wait almost two years and then i was updating phone! Unfortunately we can't all always update to the newest model. I also wished that Samsung would being back removable batteries. I'm a heavy user and this would be a godsend to me. I do have problems with the sd card though. I have moved Photos to sd card. Then I caught view them. Hopefully with Oreo this would have been sorted out. I also have had problems with my bt app and goggle movie play apps saying that they cat play as screen is insecure. I dingy understand this as I have all the security updates and have screen locks on. Both referred me back to Samsung. Again hopefully this Oreo update may have rectified this. Kind regards Sye Good to meet you Sue.    The Oreo update on the S8 was postponed for a number of months due to users discovering issues with their device after the update. I believe this update has now been pushed out since Goggle changed some  of the update so the issues would no longer persist.    In term's of the Removable battery's i don't believe Samsung will ever bring this back  the reason for this is because the Water Resistance rating would be lower. The unit's are Sealed  so the phone can be classed as water resistance.    I'm not sure why your writing on the home screen is faded. If you can create a post  with a screen shot i will try to see if i can find a resolution for you.    Regards Baxter ... View more

@Whiteblobwrote: How do I manually trigger slow mo instead of waiting for the square? While your in the Slow motion option, In the bottom left corner you will see an 'Automatic' option Click this which will change the setting to Manual. You can now start recording and when you want the Slow motion to take place click the button on the right side of the Record/Stop Button.   This button look's like several circles. Almost like the Olympic symbol.  ... View more

@Mooowrote: So yh the super slow mo advertised around is nothing compared to what it is. The adverts and release made it look so clear and awesome. In contrast my super slow camera mode is blurry all the time, sometimes when it isnt bad it goes even more blurry. Every other mode is perfect. Feels like there's something wrong with the camera or super slow mode. Anyone else having issues? Not fully tried the camera but seems like the pictures in low light again don't seem that amazing as made out. A recent software update was released regarding Camera stability, Please try updating the Software version see if this resolve the issue.    Alternatively you could try clearing the Cache/Data on the camera device.   Settings - Menu (3 Dots in the top right hand corner) - Show System App's - Find the appropriate App - Clear Data/Cache from that application see if this helps.  ...
