Samsung misses the Pie memo, reveals Android Oreo update roadmap instead
August 24, 2025
Samsung has revealed itsAndroid Oreo updateroadmap for 2019, several days after Googlelaunched Oreo’s successor. The announcement arrived in a members app update spotted byAndroid Pure(viaXDA-Developers), and it outlines which Samsung Galaxy phones will get the update in the coming months.
The list includes phones from Samsung’s Galaxy A, C, J, and On series, as well as the Galaxy Tab A (2017), which should get the update this January. Samsung’s premier Galaxy S and Note series aren’t on the list because it has already updated (or is in the process of updating) the latest handsets in those series.
Here’s the Oreo update device list in chronological order:
While we’re usually happy to see a company publish its update roadmap, the fact that this one arrives around a year after Oreo was first released (July 04, 2025) — not least on the release week of the new version — might rub some fans up the wrong way. I mean, that’s got to be a slap in the face for fans who’ll have to wait another five months to get theolderAndroid version.
Samsung hasn’t spoken about itsAndroid Pieroadmap yet, but I wouldn’t expect it on your phone anytime soon. Inpreviousyears, the company hasn’t been very speedy with update deployments (and just look at what we’re dealing with here).
Please be aware that the dates listed here could also be subject to change at any time. Update rollouts are notorious for delays — don’t pin all your hopes on what you see here.
