In theory, this phone should get three major upgrades - that means, as it was released with Android 11, A14 would be the last it receives.
However, S21 FE that has the same SoC should be getting A15.
Do you think Samsung will stop on Android 14 for S21 and Android 15 on S21 FE?

JOSH L. / 3 DAYS AGO
Samsung has been, slowly but surely, dishing out the long-awaited Marshmallow update to all eligible smartphones in its 2015/2016 lineup, and it now looks like the Galaxy A8 will be the next major handset to receive the firmware as the device has just been granted Wi-Fi Certification running the latest build of Android 6.0.1.
Typically, once a device passes through the Wi-Fi Certification facility and receives approval for an upgrade, manufacturers start pushing out an OTA within just one-to-two weeks — so if you own a Galaxy A8, you shouldn’t have too much longer to wait until you can start playing around with all the new functionality Marshmallow has to offer.

A9000 got today, firmware can be downloaded from sammobile!
Nice.I wait For it.
Hope to see the marshmallow to A3 phones as well!
Any news about MM for A8 ?
samsung is as usual slow in updating its mobiles.. they r always concerned with the flagship handsets update and delay the other important ones. we should be more thankful to the devs here who really strive hard day and night to give us the best software and support.
NO UPDATE AFTER WIFI CERTIFICATION FROM SAMSUNG FOR 6.0.1 UPDATE TO A8.
Hi, I just checked my samsung members app and saw notice from samsung that android pie will be release in March 2019 in Australia.
Samsung is rolling out android 10 for its flagship S series phone ,A series , J series , M series and tab series.
We can't be sure what to expect from this update for our j 4+ because one ui performs very poor. Lets hope it makes the phone little more usable.
Do you have any official Samsung link confirming this?
Since 10 is rolling out to J4 and J4+ still isn't listed... no I don't think so.
A few hours ago, Samsung announced that it would soon release the One UI 3.1 update to its older smartphones, including the Galaxy Note 20 series, Galaxy Note 10 series, Galaxy S20 series, Galaxy Z series, and several Galaxy A series devices. Earlier today, it started rolling out the update to the Galaxy S20 series, and now it’s time for the update to reach the Galaxy Note 20.
The South Korean smartphone giant has just started releasing the One UI 3.1 update to the Galaxy Note 20 and the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. The new software update is rolling out to the smartphones in Germany and Russia right now, but we expect the rollout to happen in more markets gradually. The new update carries firmware version N98xxU1DUB5 or N98xxU1DUB6, depending on the region.
The One UI 3.1 update brings new features to the Galaxy Note 20 series, including Private Share, improved Single Take, object eraser tool, the ability to remove location data from images while sharing them. It also brings minor UI changes to the phones, but features like Director’s View or Google Discover Feed are missing.
If the update hasn’t reached your Galaxy Note 20 or Galaxy Note 20 Ultra yet, you can check for the software update manually by navigating to Settings » Software update menu and then tapping on Download and install on your device. Alternatively, you can also download the entire firmware from our firmware section and flash it manually.
Already running it rooted on my US U1 note 20. Absolutely love it
Will the Tab S6 get OneUI 5?
It is such a great tablet. OneUI 5 would make it supergreat.
Unlikely but I won't complain if we get more updates. What's new in 5?
It just feels very fast and fluid on my S22 plus. It is a noticeable difference with the change.
I am afraid not. The Galaxy S10 dosen't have the chance, so the Tab S6 is very likely to stay in OneUI 4.1.1 (Android 12L)
No, the Tab S6 will not get the Android 13 update. It has not been mentioned in any update list by Samsung

I am looking forward to LineageOS for Tab S6. I believe it will save many old devices.

Samsung at that time promised 3 years of software updates + 1 year of security updates. S6 started whit android 9 in 2019, so logic dictates no (sadly). Last update (T865XXU5DWC3) might be the last update in general.
