While I doubt anyone from Samsung beta team will even read this. I would like to vent. 
Why do unlocked users have to wait to get the update?
What are we even waiting for? 
The carriers in the US to finish there roll outs? Why? 
We purchased unlocked phones so we wouldn't be beholden to carriers. So we would have a choice. Hell most of the time unlocked phones are advertised that way. Our updates come direct from Samsung. Not our carriers. So why are we being punished for this choice? Because we likely paid less? Or because the agreements with the carriers require Samsung to push us aside? It's honestly stupid. 

I purchased my phone direct from Samsung. We should not have to wait.

Mad no. Disappointed yes. Why should we be treated differently just because we bought unlocked phones

I get it I guess but it's not like we are missing out on much.

In every market where Samsung has to compete against phones from Xiaomi, OPPO, Huawei and Honor on an even playing field their market share has plummeted. Samsung needs the carriers way more than the carriers need Samsung so Samsung isn't going to do anything if the carriers oppose it. The system in the United States is heavily rigged in favor of Samsung and Apple and both companies want to keep it that way.

The majority of Samsung phones are sold by the carriers plus its been that way since at least the S7 so it shouldn't come as a surprise.
