Looking at what has been written in various reports, the Note 8 should get it in January 2019!

You are reading about the S9 for ~January.

After that, there is the Note 9 (in the second wave of releases), then the Note 8 in the third wave of releases).


January....for Note 8, will not be happening. You are better off with April 1, 2019 as an April fool's joke.
Until then, you can still expect to get the monthly security patches.

The Note 8 will not get Pie until right before the Note 10 is about to come out. Just like when we got Oreo right before the Note 9 came out. Samsung is the worst on Android updates they are so far behind. The Note 9 launched with Oreo phones that came out a month after have Pie.

I dont understand why all the trouble about firmware updates, security patches I agree, but I get a device because I really like it as it is from the start, moreover, it is designed based on a certain android version, that is why sometimes the major updates create some sorts of problems, I really prefer the truly stable firmware the phone came with, but that is MY opinion

No. It is called "business". Samsung is in bed with your carrier to ensure you update the latest handset (so they both win).

I only buy flagship devices just to get the latest firmware updates (security patches and bragging rights). I just don't want a Vanilla Google device like the Pixel as I think it is incomplete. Google is "fixing" the fragmentation problem, so there should be no more "unstable firmware updates" as you are alluding to. If you were fair, you would admit that THOSE problems are caused by users who flash / update their devices, and don't perform a factory wipe, with a clean setup.

We got Oreo in March, and N9 released in August.

Note 8 SM-N9500 Dual SIM 256Gb pie update came yesterday! All OK, One UI is a vast improvement! The only thing I miss is the SMS widget!
