S_Griff i dont think theyll release tomorrow directly without a public beta testing, but hope they do

S_Griff

nihalmjoshi I do actually mean public beta testing, so open beta for most devices.

The full stable release won’t be until November-January…

nihalmjoshi 4.0 was a disappointment in terms of major features for 2a hope they bring all the major features to 2a also in 5.0 but let’s not expect much! It’s gonna be disappointment when they can’t reach the expectations!

nihalmjoshi I mean, Android 17 is currently only on Pixels and just-released premium devices such as the Z Fold8. And the Pixel 11 series was released 4-12 days ago (depending on how you look at it). Pretty much everyone else, including Samsung, will receive Android 17 between late September and mid November.

For example, Samsung’s stable Android 16 release last year was in mid October for their Galaxy S series (including the S24 Ultra which was two weeks late after the S25 Ultra and its September 30th update). So it’s reasonable to expect the same timeline with Nothing.

My expectations for the update were extremely low, almost nonexistent.

And yet Nothing managed to disappoint me.
