2016 series would be obvious, but 2015- from 4.4.4 to 7.1 possibly!

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.

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.
Peace,

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.

Samsung Galaxy A8 2015 SM-A800F
galaxy a8(sm-a800f) with android 5.1.1 come out in 2015 will get nougat update? now galaxy a8 just receive marshmallow update

Answer to this/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... [/Yeah i had a online chat with samsung Australia that i asked them that is it possible that A7 2015 to get Android 7 update? They said me"Yeah it's possible because some Galaxy S5 devices in Australia Have already been updated to Android Nougat. My Galaxy A7 is SM-A7000 Model]
I am wondering since the Galaxy S7 was originally shipped with Marshmallow 6.0.1, and now you can update it to Nougat 7.0. Does Samsung ship new models to carriers (Verizon for example) with Nougat or will it have Marshmallow still?

When the users in UNITED ARAB EMIRATES will get oreo update?? I refresh software update every now and then.. eagerly waiting..
I'm currently on 9.0 beta 2 with my unlocked Galaxy s9+ and would like to try and download the Sprint firmware.
I tried to install 8.0 but Oden did not like that and just forced closed. Is it possible to downgrade to 8.0 sprint firmware or do I have to download the sprint beta 2 firmware?
Thanks,
