A series won't recieve any updates further.
Samsung already promised 2 major updates. One being nougut and last one being oreo.
So yeah.. No official updates.
Maybe lineage OS would be available but I won't count on it either.. Especially when LOS 15.1 is still unfinished.
But we never know.. Maybe some talented developer would build it and will maintain it till it gets stable

Whats with this 2 updates thing?, its only a last year phone, A5 also, I think Pie would be great on it as a last .

would be porting a pie rom from another samm device with the same cpu be easy ? i mean it happen with oreo before the official release

I want Touchwiz 10 with dual stereo speekers mode and aroma installer

To be honest as a8 2018 have exynos 7885 and a5/a7 have exynos7880 and that corsi yet ported a8 rom to them it might be possible to port pie on it, otherwise for a3, a6 2018 must get pie and it have exynos7870 as well,
Otherwise lineage gonna do the trick, just keep patience and see !

i just checked and there are actually quite a few of 7870 devices

It should be possible to port roms from devices having similar architecture but they require a lineage OS base (correct me if I'm wrong).
Long back in my LG days, I ported a miui rom successfully but it needed CM 11 base.
Maybe the developers would consider working on it. I'm still waiting for LOS 15.1 to get stable enough (too much battery drain).

Yeah, A5 is spotted in geekbench with Android Pie. That mean it will roll out to it. But nothing about A7. It MUST be.

We have already received two OS upgrades already so I doubt we will.

I doubt it, since many A series released in 2018. Ax 2017 is obsolete now. The only hope is unofficial ROMs lol.

It is confirmed that the Galaxy A3, A5 and A7 2017 will receive the Android Pie 9.0 update.
I'm attaching a screenshot of the news with some of the eligible models. You can read the news on the Samsung Members app.

~ all you find on internet is real ™ ~
At least for A3 2017 which yet got 2 major update for every variant. Usually Samsung used to make 2 updates on A series, hence don't expect too much on Samsung OTA as Samsung yet lied many times about update that never came..

That was from their official Members app, that's why I said it's confirmed, but I see your point. Can you tell me which devices has Samsung said they would update and then canceled them? It's a genuine question of mine since I haven't read anything similar.

Let's hope we get the Marshmallow update before Redmi note 3 releases.
I wonder if Xiaomi stopped development on the Redmi note when the Redmi note 2 was launched.
I won't get any hope from Xioami. Even now, a lot of bugs in current version haven't been fixed.

I think that I read on the first thread about the helio x10 source code that we can use NFNH kernel for both MM and N but as you can see, the kernel has a lot of bugs that I am sure they are going to be fixed. If NFNH fixes all the bugs in his kernel, we will have a Nougat rom. But I don't really care, as I am buying RN3Pro(Kenzo)in a month.

I gave you and advise about that in your other thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69805050&postcount=5
I think that Xiaomi doesn't ever update the android version for its MTK devices.
If you did take care about reading something about this devices before buying it, you should know that people are asking for marshmallow since long time on the official forum, but no one got an answer.
And now you are asking for nougat?

Sorry if I've been tough, I can understand what you are saying.
From what I can understand you bought your phone in your country; I think that you should have bought from a (good) chinese reseller, I think that the price are lower so with the same budget you can get a better device.
I bought a Mi5S from China at about the price I could buy a Xperia XA in my country.

There is no problem with MediaTek processors, there is a problem with MediaTek software.
I own four devices with MTK SOC and just 1 got an android version update, just because it was a quite new SOC.
Helio X10 is now old and MTK doesn't care to release new updates for it, and even if they released sw to build Marshmallow based ROM(*), Xiaomi just doesn't care to update it.
AFAIK Xiaomi never bumped the android version on its MTK based devices.
(*) from what I know, LeEco released a Marshmallow based ROM for a device using X10
EDIT:
If you want to try, there are some marshmallow ROM on needrom.
They are not fully working because the lack of drivers for some components, read notes, know bugs and comments from other people.
If you think you can live with their bug you could give it a try, but I suggest you to take a backup using TWRP.

Any news when can we see ROMs based on MIUI 10?

Now since MIUI 10 has started rolling out the beta to some devices, is there any chance of seeing the same for Kenzo soon or any ports?
best answer is : thanks for sharing
July end, kenzo, miui 10, official news.
Yeah but what can we do.. WAaaiiiittttt
Theirs more Marshmallow OS again OMG
why the world is falling to chip-set 650 come to think of if 650 but stuck in marshmallow MIUI My-God

Android Pie confirmed for Moto Z2 Play

Yey. Let's wait till end q1 of 2019 when Google starts to test Android Q for Motorola to get P ready for it's last year's phone's. Or do I have to remind you that Oreo was released end April/early May to the original Z play?

Yes, starting with the 2018 models, or maybe only with the Z3 since it's the most expensive ones. Or do you really believe that our one year old phone will get updates that quick? They are not Pixels and knowing the update strategy of Lenovo for the past couple of years and without treble we can be lucky if we even get it this year. or have you forgotten the Oreo update? And it wasn't even to 8.1, just 8.0
I am still on 7.1.1 Nougut. According to support, I am on the latest update. But on 08/31 they claimed they are behind, but it is coming soon.
Shouldn't the all be the same regardless of software channel, build number, SKU, Version, etc.? They are all Moto Z2 Play. Mine is even unlocked so I would think that would be a benefit.
Here are the specs from the "about phone":
- Moto Z2 Play - UNLOCKED version (carrier independent)
- Software Channel = "retla"
- Build Number = NPSS26.118-19-1-16
- SKU = XT1710-06
- Version = PVT1
- Baseband version = M8953P_23.33.07.34.01RALBUS_LATAMDSDS_CUST
- Security patch = February 1, 2018
- Android 7.1.1. (Nougut)

I had the update like in mid July, but it didn't take. It got all messed up and went back to 7.1.1
So I installed Oreo on the side and put Custom Rom on top of it.

Same here. I have no idea why my phone won't update. I have it unlocked and rooted with Magisk, but won't it still detect the update and try to download it? I just need to unroot first and flash it and it should be just fine I thought. But nope, still on 7.1.1 with the February 2018 security patch. I'm on software channel retus. Right now I'm not really too concerned with getting a new version of Android on this phone since everything is stable but I'd like to know why my phone never got the 8.0/8.1 update.

It depends on carrier. Although, if you ask them, carrier will say it depends on Moto; but truth is, it isn't. As far as I know, AT&T Latin America released (or it was Moto?) 8.0 Oreo in August, which has been already updated up to September, 2018. Next should be 9, but... Yes, 8.0 was released same time as 9 for Pixels, a full year after Z2 device landed. So, statistically, 9's OTA should be inside AT&T's Z2 devices, late in 2019. That would be another year, probably along with 10's appearance! but... Maybe not. Who knows what's in their heads. Point seems to be keeping OTA fans (don't count me in) eager as hell.

Mi A1 received Android 9 pie update and now it supports dual 4G + volte. Really shocked to see Snapdragon 625 supporting dual 4G and that too enabled with an update. And Moto doesn't even update their os to 64 bit.

For this device to be updated to 64bit, it would require formatting, users would lose all their stored data. How well do you think that would go over with the general public?

That is a fair point. Although it's fairly easy to backup data on a phone with SD card, not everyone will like it. I had Asus zenfone 3 which came with 64bit OS despite 3GB of RAM and camera 2 API was enabled so the Gcam and hdr+ worked without root. Thought Z2 play with 4GB RAM, better camera sensor and stock Android will be even better. I was wrong.

Question Custom rom?

Hello everyone I'm new here. I would like to know if someone's working on a custom rom for this phone. I'm new to MIUI and honestly it sucks and it would be good to know if I'm stuck with it for 2 or so years.

Well i will call it a mi 11 lite lite 5g as it is slightly tuned down.
But from xiaomi's trend most likely it will be called 'mi 11 lite 5G reloaded'

Unofficially to make room for Snapdragon 888 on production lines. Because is used in many phones and is very requested , 780 was used only in Mi 11 lite.
I'm saying that since number of sell Renoir is low, the possibly of a custom developer to have it is low . I hope I'm wrong since i have this phone.

Is there released kernel sources?
If yes then if someone decided hey I want to donate my phone to a dev then we may get custom ROMs. We may also get blind- builded
custom ROMs.
If no sources, we won't get custom ROMs, same as the 20 dollar mediatek cheap phones.
Damnit, I bought this Xiaomi phone in the hope there will be a custom rom. My Redmi 5 got excellent rom support. But reading that sales are low and to make room for other Snapdragon soc's makes me not optimistic.
My Galaxy A50 that I used for 2 years also got no rom support, but that was mainly because the security in Knoxx. I got used to that.
The Lite 11 4G version of this phone have a few custom roms! Why the 5G not?!!
GSI is enough nowadays. I added patch to phh-treble and works good

Over a month before you asked this many news sites had posted about the chip shortage, why 780G phones are so rare and why manufacturers like Xiaomi are going to circumvent the problem by switching to 778G.
Xiaomi will release the new Mi 11 Lite NE 5G tomorrow, using the 778G produced by TSMC using N6 unlike the 780G which is produced by Samsung using 5LPE.
