Samsung Galaxy S5 - Android N (7)

[Nichrome]

Hi community,

I was wondering if you are already aware if, and when, Galaxy S5 would receive Android N update? Apparently first devices are likely to receive the update around October..

Cheers,
Nichrome

Hi there

Vodafone do not comment on if and when a firmware update will be available for a particular device.  For reasons why, please read through their Firmware Statement

At this stage, I don't believe that Samsung have even confimed if they will be rolling out Android N to the S5.  I personally would say that it is only likely to roll out to the more recent devices such as the S6 and S7.

Hi @Nichrome

Are you using a branded phone supplied by Vodafone?

If so then no official response would be made and you'd see the update in your software update settings if / when it's ready / available. 

If your phone is unbranded then your not relying on Vodafone releasing it but Samsung. Therefore it maybe beneficial to maybe ask Samsung directly. 

I hope you get the firmware you want.

At this stage Android N hasn't even been formally named, nor has a release date been confimed.  Asking Samsung won't help when they haven't even finalised their plans yet and haven't made any announcements regarding which phones they'll be rolling Android N out to.  So advising them to call Samsung is sending the OP on a wild goose chase.....

@Nichrome is searching for as much information as possible I believe > so along with using Google to accumulate as much believed could be information as possible it's not a negative avenue to engage with Samsung via their samsung uk support chat.

Of course this is completely up to the Op.

But pointless when a release date for the Android N hasn't even been formally announced yet.  Nor is there any confirmation which handsets Samsung will be rolling it out to.

I could understand getting the OP to speak to Samsung about a release date if they had announced that they where rolling it out to the S5 and Android N had a confirmed release date, but until then, you are sending them on a wild goose chase.
