Very late and slow roll out .samsung needs to improve roll out timelines

[KamRan110]

Agreed brother.. but basically its all about the marketing tactics, the people must enjoy the updated version and then to the older ones. If all of sudden people get new updates no one gonna upgrade.

Maybe but there should be a timeline . Which should be followed

[KamRan110]

Same question I asked from a Samsung Representative and he said basically its mostly about country to country & region to region technological barriers...so its not easy for us to roll out on prescribed timeline.

In other words they dont care about 3rd world countries.

[KamRan110]

Not like that, now the 8.5 is going to be rolled out for North America, Europe, India, and Southeast Asia not all about 3rd world countries.
