Will there be an Android 8.0 update for the Lenovo P2?

Heard that there won't be an official 8.0 update.
So I wonder will there be a third party 8.X rom.

I think it is strongly believed that we won't get android O. I hope we get at least anothet update for 7.1 official

And for custom roms we have our own dev now so that depends upon him

Stock is stable enough already and Lenovo has more updates for this year and next year, this device is still new.
After that time whether it's before or after the end of life of this device via Lenovo... eventually the Dev will come around... Hakuna Matata/No Worries... :highfive:

I just really hope Lenovo release an update which enable Galileo since the phone supports it, it could be added in a custom ROM but that would likely be very hard to do without there being sources in the stock ROM.

And a news for information is that lenovo doesn't develop the update for our device its moto which create updates for our device. And for verify go to apps and search for device manager and and under that it show the name motorola mobility not the lenovo inc etc and for more clarification there is official news that lenovo stop the phone branding and other process and gave this operation to moto and lenovo will now focus more on laptops zuk branding and vr ar etc like things and also market strategies so moto now handles our device but all the forums will be on lenovo forum only but only for lenovo devices

I would be surprised by that. As Galileo use requires licensing and the P2 is considered a mid-tier or even now that the price dropped a budget phone. I doubt Lenovo would have bothered to pay licensing fee's to add to the total cost of "bill of materials".

But please proof me wrong.
Please point me to the official statement from Lenovo that the P2 supports Galileo. OR Some fundamental technical proof of a whitepaper that the chip which is inbuild in the P2 actually supports Galileo.

Galileo eligible devices and chipsets lists.
No Lenovo P2, but there's mention of Snapdragon 625.

Thanks for the findings.
So in short. For us to get Galileo (GNSS) we would require Lenovo to include GPS blobs which include GNSS support in any of the future updates.
Until then. No Support for Galileo on the Lenovo P2.
