Samsung provides a newer Kernel on their Android updates.
Qualcomm has released a version 4.9 Kernel for Snapdragon 425 devices.

There should be like 20% performance gain on using a 4.9 kernel (Unless they underclock the device for some weird reason)
I am ready to wait.
And j8 device runs of different SoC (Processor, for those who dont understand
