Still nothing for my Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra no 
One UI 8.0 updates yet in Canada 🇨🇦

Samsung says in October when I don't know 
That's the disappointing thing about Android phones (not Pixel devices) you never know when the updates will comes it's very disappointing 

Release the update globally just like Google do with its pixel devices 
Worldwide & same day updates OTA

The Tab S9 Ultra is a two year old device. 

Google delivers vanilla Android to it's devices. 

Samsung adds their One UI Skin, which is more complicated. 

In my view, Samsung has too many different devices, which only adds to delays. 

If you have been using Samsung devices for any length of time, you know that Samsung takes longer to release updates..

Samsung will never release updates globally, at the same time, as the hardware is not the same globally.

That's the reason why when I'm done with my iPhone 16 Pro Max I may switch to Google Pixel device ❤

But when it comes to tablets that will remain Samsung

Hi Anderson199214,

We understand your frustration, Samsung’s update rollout process differs from Google’s due to the added complexity of One UI, which is tailored to a wide range of devices and regional hardware configurations. This customization, while offering enhanced features and functionality, can result in staggered release schedules across markets.

While Samsung has indicated an October timeline for the update, specific regional release dates may vary. We recognize that the lack of a consistent global rollout can be disappointing, especially for users eager to experience the latest improvements.

Your feedback is valuable and highlights the importance of transparency and consistency in software updates. We hope Samsung continues to refine its update strategy to better meet the expectations of its global user base.

Google Pixel devices they received even the tiniest update like 12kb update
The device is automatically saying
Device is optimizing
I had Google Pixel devices before
Pixel 2 in 1 year only I received 80-120 updates from tiny to major
Pixel 3 in 1 year only I received 125 updates

Google they don't care they pushed updates so often it's crazy in love too
Consistent Google Play Store updates and apps including services like Google Play Services

Every 5th of the month Google Pixel received updates worldwide same day and all compatible models
