Not until they release he Exynos version of Oreo. If you flash the Snapdragon version it's bricksville for you...

for a carrier free device this is strange! are you on stock fw, or did you root your device?

YES IT DOES! For UN-branded FW, ALL carriers must approve that FW for release!

Because Sammy OS is heavily modded to their linking so it will take time for them to get it all up and running and then testing and then some more testing.

Maybe you haven't check it. Because since November I bought it I had received 3 updates. Last one yesterday.

If this is true, it makes perfect sense.
Not questioning your knowledge or honesty, but can you substantiate this statement, articles, links, 'knowledge base'?
Thanks

carriers release updates to use on THEIR network; it doesnt matter one bit who you bought the phone from..
thats common knowledge in the cellular world.. Google is the only sometimes "exception", but if their phones are sold by any carrier, i.e. when t mobile sold the nexus 6, it was T Mobile who released/approved updates, NOT Google

it does matter.
in Europe, if you don't get your phone through a carrier you get the F model.
while other variants get their updates through the carrier, F models always get their updates directly from Samsung.
until the note 8 the unbranded models(like the F models) where always first to get updates, because no carrier approval is needed.

edit: correction.
there are carrier specific F models, the carrier branding is in the csc in those cases.
any phone bought from Samsung directly or a store that isn't tied to a carrier will always have an "unbranded" csc in Europe.

Agree, for SM-N950F
XSA got update several days ago, but VAU just got update today
