Learning.

I believe Sony forgot they made an M5. Still running Sep 2016 security patches and on Marshmallow. Like what the hell.

How is it that there aren't Nougat or Oreo LineageOS ROMs for the M5 available right now?

Unless Sony wants to pay MediaTek for the source code for Helio X10, Sony Xperia M5 will not receive Android Nougat update
First and last Mediatek device in this household ...

Apparently they are not official at the end. But worse: not complete. Practically all Helio X10 devices from all manufacturers hardly saw further development....

The only terrible thing about the M5 has been that apparently Sony forgot they made it, as they're into the business of selling "new" phones even when hardware-wise there ain't a real upgrade, consider the specs of M5 vs XA1, a model which is properly going to be updated to oreo by the way.

Commercially wise "sure", it's an older release, but spec-wise the M5 has some features the XA1 has not, such as IP68 water resistance, Full HD screen, 4k video recording plus a 13 MP selfie camera, and slightly higher capacity battery.
As for benchmark scores... on GeekBench 4:
Xperia M5: 768 Single-Core, 4393 Multi-Core
Xperia XA1: 822 Single-Core, 3704 Multi-Core
and on Antutu 6:
Xperia M5: 53840
Xperia XA1: 60596

i was waiting for m4 aqua, now changed waiting mode for m5
i hope it will have good development of roms and kernels
I am also waiting for M5.
m5 all the way .. hope the battery performance n camera performance is gre8 .... i really really want the m5 to click gre8 photos with its cam ....
M5 seems to be a nice upper midranger with one exception. Bezels. They're massive. They're ugly. They're a disgrace. Even the HTC One M8 has smaller bezels but unlike M5 it has powerful stereo speakers! Z3 has been criticized for big bezels while they're actually ok and nothing about the M5 when it's much worse in this department?

I do think that the xperia m5 is more appealing than c5 ultra . It's specifications are just right and balanced.

Any android 8.0 oreo news?

Please replay

			
				
I think so...
Maybe
:fingers-crossed:
No Z series on the list
http://www.xperiablog.net/2017/08/31/sony-confirms-android-8-0-oreo-rollout/
Why Z5 series not receive android 8 ?
Whyyyyyyyyyyy
what? no xperia Z5 android 8? affff, need send email to sony claim this...
-_- there ahould be someone to port custom android 8 rom for us
Sony ditched Z family.
Well the Z5P came with Lollipop so Nougat was suppose to be the last since Sony only gives 2 major updates to flagships
"2 major updates already rolled out". That's ok, but it cannot be an acceptable reason. No hardware requirements which can block Oreo release for Snapdragon810. Nexus 6P will get the update, and it have very close hardware. Also the Z5P is a premium device with high price, it should get more support.

Only issue I see atm, is that we need a kernel 4.4 and for some reson Sony has removed Z series from their kernel git
no news about android 8 oreo ?
It seems there won't be official -- I reached out to the Sony Blog which posted the news on their site, and got a reply:

Xperia z updated to Android 8 by lineage os.
Can anyone port android 8 for our device?
Whan lineage start supporting z5 premium?
https://twitter.com/sonyxperiagb/status/951371712700014592
Asked Xperia UK and they replied
Hello!
Our Android upgrade policy is to support all premium range devices for eighteen months after the device has launched, which excludes devices that came to market before those listed.
Therefore, the Xperia Z5 Premium will not receive the Oreo update.

That's just sad. Why is there an artificial lifetime for this device? It's an expensive device, and it sucks that it's only supported for 18 months.

I never heard about lineage lol are they good? but having more roms is always good

That's not the only difference, is has more RAM for example. I didn't do much comparing but S6 and S6E+ are wayyyy different in my opinion hence no support from LineageOS.

s6e+
Chipset Exynos 7420 Octa

GPU Mali-T760MP8
RAM 4 GB RAM
Screen 5.7" 1440x2560 pixels
s6

RAM 3 GB RAM
Screen 5.1" 1440x2560 pixels
Ram, screen size, resolution. does not really affect much. so im sure that s6edge+ will get it too.
(edit) by the way, gsmarena says that s6 is planned to get oreo update.

Thanks for the comparison.
It was said that this information about Oreo update is unofficial.
However if we do receive that update we will be the last phone to get it.
So I predict no sooner than June 2018 (let's not be too optimistic).
I hope lineage os team Works in an official build for the s6 edge plus!!!

Yes, that's correct. But the problem is that: there is much less owners of S6E+ than the number of owners of S6 or S6E

And at the same time the custom roms World is not going through its best moment. And the lineage os team is not as big as Cyanogenmod was. They don't have to many members to develop roms for all divices like Cyanogenmod used to. It better give time to time and keep updated with the news.
So keep this thread open!!!!

Good to know! Thanks for sharing that important info about a smaller amount of ppl in LineageOS than in Cyanogenmod.
And I intended to keep this topic open from the beggining. I can not wait for the official release for Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus - the best phone Samsung made till S9/S9+ (maybe, cause I didnt test the new Galaxys).
