Hi @xdave200164x thats not information vodafone ever give out, they wont comment on firmware release dates in case of a problem and they have to pull it. Its just a matter of keeping an eye out on your phone.

Hi @xdave200164x

 

There are blogs and sites like sammobile and xdadevelopers which are for Samsung phones but the people there tend to have some insight on that type of info. Some info can say wether a phone is on the list to receive the firmware. 

Who supplied the phone to you may I ask ?

Current Phone  >

Samsung Galaxy s²⁴ Ultra 512gb.

 

 

To add this is Vodafones Firmware Statement.

I have one of those.   It did get an update a few months back, but nothing changed in the OS details in About Phone, not even the security details date.

Vodafone were marketing it quite heavily, so you'd sort of expect it to have been popular enough to get an update, but seemingly not.   That is one of the downsides of Android - so many people have a hand in the OS: Google, the manufacturer and the network if the device is branded.   Some people stick up SIM-free for that reason and Sony are generally quite good about updating older devices.

The Sony website does have an option to enter your IMEI and check what the latest OS version is, but if you've checked for updates and read the About details, you already know.  It won't tell you what may or may not be coming, sadly.

I have another device that's running Nougat and, for most purposes, you can't tell the difference between that and Marshmallow.
