And the phone you say are high-end (New OS always start with high-end sorry)
Maybe there is still hope to get 9.0 for a 2017 series they are preety decent midrange devices...
Maybe samsung surprises after they update all their flagships...

While Xiaomi has leaked but not said anything official as to marshmellow on the redmi note 2.
Im curious about the Helio X10 in general. as far as i could find theres only one Helio X10 device with Marshmellow, the HTC X9.
But its yet to be released, its only apperance has been TENNA which is the Chinese electronics certification board (i think)
so... before asking about Marshmellow on the redmi note 2, should we be worried Mediatek will pull its regular **** and say "well, if you want marshmellow get a P10 or X20 powered phone", the same way they did with the MT6589T and the MT6592.
The only reason the MT6582 got lollipop was the android one program, and thats becuase Google was personaly involved in the project. but Mediatek is usualy like "well... we dont release newer android versions for our older products becuase we want you to buy the latest one and make us more money"
Its the reason why the RedMi note 3 Pro exists (snapdragon 615) and the reason why Xiaomi dosnt use mediatek for its flagship range (theres no mediatek Mi3/4 variant), and why they say that the X20 (apart from heat issues) has no place in the newer lineup.
So. any X10 devices with marshmellow ?
Sony M5 will receive marshmelow too
will being the key word

Where did you get this information?
Xiaomi weibo in china
imposible
The HTC One M9+ (released May 2015), which will get the update to 6.0, and the One X9 which was even released with 6.0.
Sony also announced it will update it's Xperia M5
Archos has launched Diamond 2 Note, X10 & PowerVR G6200 which born with M.
Maybe devs can take a look at this.
Drivers for the Mediatek SoC are definitely available to the manufacturers, so Xiaomi should be able to work on the update, unless they no longer care for a phone that is only 3 months old (Redmi Note 3).
Unfortunately, that happens more than I would like.
The Archos diamond 2 note is in the same place as the HTC X9, unreleasd.
MediaTek has partnered with MIUI for what I knew and released the MT6795 kernel code. My device is a LeTV Le 1s, it already has Marshmallow running and stable. The community of this mobile is very present. There are almost all existing RONs in MT6795 running on this device. Unfortunately I will not have VIBE OS lenovo because the lenovo not released any MT6795 device and I do not know build systems for android devices from the source code. but content myself with coloros 3.0 or MIUI 8 for now.
If you understand kernel compilation, there is the link to the MT6795 kernel:
http://forum.le.com/in/index.php?threads/mediatek-mt6795-helio-x10-kernel-source-code-is-here.1921/
2016 series would be obvious, but 2015- from 4.4.4 to 7.1 possibly!
http://www.gsmarena.com/original_sa...id_70_nougat_update_in_january-news-22319.php
EDIT: The source carrier that "accidentally leaked" the update seems to have made a mistake on their data inputs. No nougat update for 2015 series.
Hypothetically, the A7 (2015) can get Nougat since it runs on Snapdragon 615 processor which is the same processor used by the Hong Kong/ China model of A7 (2016). Maybe developers can port it...
What?! OMG! That would be awesome. Although, I can't get my mind around it, A5 didn't get fresh Marshmallow either, with the new white-UI. How would it get Samsung Experience UI?
Cool, anyways I'm waiting for Sammobile to confirm it.
wow, i love samsung
i highly doubt, that samsung would choose to support exactly this phone to create a long-term solution for updates
We should be more then happy with marshmallow, although it looks like they've done a **** job with it though.
What about A3 2015 can't get update
Sent from my SM-A300FU using XDA Labs
I hope it's true
Someone must have made a mistake there...
It's more interesting why they thought the 2015 series would get Nougat, they didn't even specify it.
I think Sammy ended releasing updates (hopefully we still can get some security patches, though).

Yeah someone misunderstood something. Some sites said it would come to the 2015 series, some of them said just for 2016 and newer. Logical, though. But we don't get mad, do we? We have amazing ROMs to try!
Yep, I edited the OP.
https://www.sammobile.com/2017/01/1...evices-that-should-receive-the-nougat-update/
According to this, there will be a Nougat update for the A8. But it doesn't mention if its the 2016 version or the 2015 version, can somebody confirm?

If Samsung doesn't forget about the 2015 version, probably it will get it, too. According to gsmarena, the original A8 was released in August, 2015 and launched with 5.1.1, so the one with newer UI.
I would say the 2016 version is sure to get it and the 2015 is also, likely to get it. However, Samsung cares about how much device can be sold in countries and continents. So if it wasn't a successful phone - like A5 - it's not sure. Check confirmation sites later, like Sammobile, Gottabemobile and other certification sites, like bluetooth and WiFi. Keep your fingers crossed!:highfive:
In my final sadness, I rooted my phone and installed a custom ROM...
As we said - according to the sources - Nougat won't reach our beloved A5s.
WHAT NOW? Optus confirmed it AGAIN that the first gen A5 will get Nougat update in this month!

Every phone comes with 2 version support generally, especially when its Samsung / HTC etc. So 4.4 will only reach 6.0 and that would be EOL.

It's three then. My advice: buy a phone which is launched with a fresh Android (like S8 with 7.0) so it's sure you can enjoy the fresh Android-feeling through two years in three major versions.

MSM8916 is pretty much dead now on official support
Its predecessor MSM8226 ended with MM so i think its the same with the 8916....
But hey you have MIUI9, LOS15"Broken", TW-NN and many more ROMS to enjoy
Also J5 2017 is an Exynos 7870 phone :b(Its a J5 series phone only)

And? J5 2016 has much lower lifespan than the 2015 model and also Samsung has never EVER fixed bugs or wrote any code in their sources by themselves(Samsung hasnt even created Touchwiz :b). They are taking Nougat patches from Qualcomm and if Exynos from partners and if Qualcomm kills oreo support for MSM8994/8996 then they wont really get their time porting it for J5 2016/2015

If support is stopped we can port Lineage (J5 2015 has already LineageOS 15)
MSM-8916 development is stronger than ever, you clearly don't know what you're talking about. And LOS 15 is not ported is built from source like 14.1. For J5 (2015) we have great devs.

Support is stopped officially
Oreo can be ported for J5 2016 but is not that easy to fix the bugs because you don't have the right libs to use, not all the libs from N are compatible with O and there are so many missing. An example could be the RIL bug (sim bug), you need to replace the new main RIL lib but you can't find it in any other N rom... If you try to replace it or any other RIL file you will get a bootloop...
I like your question.
I think all Samsung brands should be accepted it.

If you would like to get the latest android versions , then you shold buy a flagship phone or phone from google. Its almost hopeless that we will get android P. Oreo will be the second bigger update or version update. As you know Samsung takes two bigger, version updates for their phones. Its just marketing, you know... But I belive there are great developers who will be able to compile the latest androids for our phones! If sources will be open, but I dont know that much about this...
I hope its understandable, and sorry for my poor language!
I' m still waiting for nougat update !! I have tried Samsung switch also and it didn't find any update!
