The Z3+(Z4) & the Z5 aren't getting Oreo whereas the S6 is. I'd take the extra year of support over the quicker short term update

Did Samsung confirm this? If yes good for them, the older S phones lagged behind software updates.

Okay , let's get this straight up . I don't want to reply people like you this long like TechieXP and i do like Samsung overall , but judging from your comment , you should take overlook back in 2015 . At that time , when S6 and S6 Edge was launched , Samsung used to wanted to applied the Snapdragon 810 for S6 and S6E's version of North American Market .

But after debacle of Snapdragon 810 thermal issues went up by media before S6 was even introduced , including one of the victims was M9 and G Flex 2 , Samsung decided not to use 20nm S810 for their S6 , S6E as well S6E+ and Note5 for their NA market . Instead , they used Exynos 7420 Octa that also installed in International Market .

And because Exynos doesn't have much direct connection with Snapdragon , when they stated all S810-powered-phone except Nexus 6P , doesn't get update beyond Nougat (7.x) , Samsung could freely update the S6 and Note5 to Oreo , but my only concerns that both devices could be slowed down by Oreo update due heavy-interface of Samsung Experience 9.0 (despite being much better and optimized than we saw back on TouchWiz era) .

Z3+ , Z4T and Z5 family got affected by this rules although i have feeling that hidden files could revealed that Z5 could get Oreo as many speculated the same with Z3 that could get Nougat (7.x) , but apparently stopped at DP4 due Google's Nougat Update Policy changes . And the last 5 Z's series of Xperia will and still get update though by Secuirty Patches (last was September)

I hope you understand and just don't pull a gas against Sony (Xperia) fans and Sony post . You just made yourself bad infront of them . Don't be like now-banned Hallyu .

It's not them taking it seriously at all, they are only updating ~10 phones to 8.0

Still , how long Samsung could finished the Nougat update towards their phones that got one ? Until end of 2018 or what.....? That could be the time Sony updated their XZ1 to Android P ...... At least Sony learned and pushed Android update much faster , better and deeper starting Nougat and Oreo than they used to be back in Lollipop and MM .
