Do Samsung users passionately care about getting latest Android versions? Your vote matters!

muy bueno

I have a Tab S 8.4 and want Marshmallow to improve battery and performance, I spent alot on that tablet and I want it kept current if my hardware can handle it.

That’s how Samsung makes his customers disappointed.
The question is: WHY?

I want Android 6.0 on note 3 with the new touchwiz.

yeah its a rather silly question/poll, first smartphone was the lg optimus p500. i’ve been with samsung ever since, $500 Galaxy S3 LTE i9305, $800 Galaxy S4 i9505, $1400 Galaxy S6 Edge Plus 64gb g928i – An extreme amount for a mobile phone, really for that sort of money there should be a dedicated team and weekly updates! Paid well over $3000 including accessories to flash the Samsung flagship products and brand all around the place and having to wait for extreme lengths for updates is not right. especially the s4 lollipop update, aus telstra biggest mobile provider STILL hasn’t… Read more »

I think samsung should upgrade all of their phones especially the mid-range devices with really good features, just like the galaxy core prime because it doesn’t look and feel good with android kitkat

Is this question some kind of joke?

I have bought my new Note 5 on last saturday, giving off my Nexus 5X. Only one thing I miss from that nexus is Doze, battery saving feature and as well as the marshmallow on it. Eagerly waiting for the Marshmallow update on Note 5.

Well, see, of course I’d love to have the latest updates, complete with all their bug fixes, latest features and security. But I don’t care so much that I would pay mothership smartphone dollars for it. I’m still using a Galaxy Note II running 4.4 Kitkat which is absolutely great. I’d love to try Android 6.0, but I’d love even more to be able to use this phone for another two years.

YES, updates DO matter. Some people have the same phones for a long time, which isn’t a bad thing if it’s an okay device for them. But they are left behind because the manufacturers don’t update them, so we’ll end up with an out-of-date software. Some apps don’t even work on older Android versions, so you’ll have to buy another phone. That’s messed up. I understand they want to buy phones every two years, but that’s not gonna happen for everyone, so they better think of something, a middle solution, best for both parts. For example I have a Note… Read more »

I need lollipop for galaxy mega 6.3 GT-I9205

If there have been lawsuits about the inability to remove pre-installed apps, I’m amazed there hasn’t been one about device updates. Updates increase the longevity of your device, add new capabilities, and fix bugs or security issues–all of which increase the ROI and value of your purchase. Consumers are being denied these benefits not because of technical reasons, but rather, because of arbitrary decisions based on the interests of everyone except the consumer. Imagine if you couldn’t upgrade the OS on the PC you bought? I understand the reluctance of carriers to just push out updates without testing. They’re on… Read more »

I was a Nexus user for years. Had the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. While the vanilla android roms are smooth as butter and you get the latest version of android they have a lot of problems. Random freezes, restarts black screens and many more bugs. The Nexus line gets the android first and along with it it gets all the problems first. Nexus 4 was dropped from support and it won’t get marshmallow while its hardware can. I know it’s not a big deal since there are custom roms but even Nexus line gets only 2 yeas… Read more »

Of course we do! We expect at least two years of major updates support, and 3 or more years for minor and bug fix support. But unfortunately, that’s not what we’re getting! We spent a lot of money to buy a premium device, like my own Note 3, but the support we’re getting is disrespectful to say the least!

This poll is useless. You can tell just from the options shown. The person who prepared this has obviously no background in statistics or research.

Honestly, most of Samsung users did not see the full extent of Android 5.0.x nor 6.0.x because Samsung already fixed a lot of what Google messed up in those versions.
So just having the latest version, at least starting with version 5 of Android is not anymore the wisest choice.
Honestly I wish for security fixes the most, and second, a stable phone. Just having the latest version “just because”, is pointless, as it often renders your phone useless.

I really don’t care that much about a new version of Android. I have a Note 4, so I pretty use to waiting for an update for the phone. I although do think security and bug fixes to be important.

please Samsung i want you to release all versions at the same time around the world not just send to specific countries first. This is what i really want… Thanks

I use odin and download firmwares but i ged mad when a version like for example s5 mini G800H get lollipop and other versions like G800M or G800F don get nothing and take days weeks and months !!!!!

An option for me isn’t here. If there’s a patch that needs to be released, it’ll come. I’ve never had a virus on any of my Android devices so I doubt I’ll get on each between malware discovery and malware patch especially because I’m already cautious. What I care more about are features. I cared about receiving Samsung Pay. Now, I want Apps edge. Other Galaxy S6 edge’s got it but Verizon didn’t add it in their update. So, for me, I’m hoping Marshmallow addresses this. But yeah, I care more about the features.
