The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Android 10 update has not been confirmed and there is a very good chance that the old flagship will stay on Android Pie.
As we enter 2020, Samsung’s Android 10 rollout is gaining incredible momentum. The company has pushed the new operating system and the new One UI 2.0 to a number of Galaxy models, including the Galaxy S10, Galaxy Note 10 and older models like the Galaxy Note 9 and Galaxy S9.
This is just the beginning and Samsung’s software will hit more devices like the Galaxy Fold and Galaxy A series in the coming weeks.
Samsung and its partners have released Android 10 roadmaps outlining their 2020 plans. Roadmaps include a number of older Galaxy models, such as the Galaxy Tab S4 and the Galaxy A series from 2018.
As of now, the Galaxy Note 8 is nowhere to be found. This is a bad sign for those expecting an official Android 10 release.
Samsung did some tweaks during the rollout process (Android 10 comes out much faster than Android Pie), but the company didn’t change the protocol that required devices to receive two major Android updates before they were left behind.
Devices with two update depths do not lose software support. Although the releases have gotten erratic as the months go by, they still receive bug fixes and security patches.
Currently, all signs point to the Galaxy Note 8 running on Android Pie. However, there is always a chance that Samsung will change its mind and decide to port Android 10 and One UI 2.0 to these models. If that happens, and it’s a huge if, it probably wouldn’t be until later in the year.
With that in mind, we want to provide you with some tips to help you prepare for the Galaxy Note 8’s official or unofficial Android 10 upgrade.
Samsung may not provide Note 8 users with the official version of Android 10, but developers will provide a way to get some or most of what Android 10 has to offer.
