Update [ February 3, 2018] According to fresh developments, which do not come as a big surprise to us, the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus won’t receive Oreo. Samsung reps have a tendency of not getting software updates’ details right and it seems this poor run won’t end anytime soon.
A leaked Galaxy Note 8 Oreo build was found to contain files with names of Samsung phones that will be updated to Android Oreo. On the list, there was no place for the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus. Although some might feel a little hard done by this new development, which is not an official communication, it makes sense because the S6 Edge Plus has already received two OS upgrades and will soon be three years old. So, if you have been dreaming to receive Android 8.0 OTA on your soon-to-be 3-year old S6 Edge Plus, dream no more!
Update [November 27, 2017]: It seems we are in for a surprise! A good one, in case you’re wondering. A new rumor swirling around suggests that Samsung would bring a taste of Oreo to Galaxy S6 Edge+ as well, and might follow the three year update cycle for major Android OS updates. Awesome! We weren’t expecting this, and going by past experience, we really thought Nougat OS was the best Galaxy S6 Edge+ users would get, but now it seems that Samsung could bestow the S6 Edge Plus with Android 8.0 update as well.
For the users of Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, the Oreo update is something that they may have to look upon with lots of envy — as theirs is a Samsung flagship device of yesteryear for which the support as regards major Android update drops now.
The S6 Edge Plus has seen its update cycle reach its end as regards major updates that involve change in Android OS version, while Samsung would keep rolling out monthly security patches in month or two’s time. As far as Samsung’s S series is concerned, the only two devices are gonna get the Oreo update: this year’s Galaxy S8, and last year’s Galaxy S7.
However, there remains hope that a custom ROM based on Android 8.0, like LineageOS 15, becomes available for the S6 Edge Plus users, so that can have a run with Android 8.0, the latest Android has on offer.

The S6 Edge Plus has received the sweetness of Android 7.0 Nougat OS, and the Android 7.1.1 looks next stop. We have got the firmware for your Galaxy S6 Edge Plus below, along with the changelog that includes the monthly security patch each update involves.

Android 8.0 Oreo update release details
Update [November 27, 2017]: New report suggest Samsung could bring Oreo to Galaxy S6 Edge Plus as well, and might follow the three year update cycle for major Android OS updates. Awesome! Although this comes from a chat with Samsung representatives, we would wait for something more official to believe it.
Samsung released the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus on Android 5.1.1, and the device was updated to Marshmallow as well as Nougat. Right now, it’s running Android 7.0, and while we’d say that it looks likely — not confirmed — to get Android 7.1.1 update, the Android 8.0 looks very unlikely now. Unless Samsung surprises us, really.

AT&T Galaxy S6 Edge Plus (SM-G928A)
Update [November 10, 2017]: AT&T has begun rollout of its new security update, as version G928AUCS6EQH1. The OTA fixes the Blueborne security flaw, and install latest monthly patch for the month of September and October 2017.
Android OS update details:
- Android 7.0: Released
- Android 7.1.1: Not expected
- Android 8.0: Not expected as device is not eligible
As you would expect, not many firmwares are available for the AT&T S6 Edge+ handset. Well, firmware for AT&T phones do not come out generally like that for other variants does, so we have to make-do with this.
Actually, at the moment, you have second latest update in software version G928AUCS4EQG1 available for download, which means that after installing it to go back to stock, you need just one OTA to reach latest software version, which is, build G928AUCS4EQH1. Not bad, eh!
