While OEMs such as OnePlus and Google pledge three Android version updates for their devices, everyone else in the industry still follows the two update policy. Earlier this year, rumors surfaced that Samsung could be the third company to join that list. The information was based on conversations some users had with the company's support representatives who stated that the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 8 would indeed be eligible for Android 10. The chances of that happening, however, were slim as there was no mention of the Galaxy S8 series and Galaxy Note 8 on Samsung's official Android 10 roadmap. A company official told Sammobile at Galaxy Unpacked that the Galaxy S8 wouldn't be eligible for the update.

The news is hardly surprising. If Samsung were to deliver an Android ten update to the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 8, it would do so fairly vocally, as it would join the elite club of three software upgrades OEMs. Then again, Samsung did say that Android 9 Pie would be the last major upgrade for the devices. They'll still continue to receive monthly security updates, though.
