Is there a way to get the same scrolling effect on the S8 (or any Android device for that matter) as the iPhone?

I'm sure you've had an iPhone before. The scrolling feels very slow to me on the galaxy S8 plus.

Diffcutl to explain. Over-scrolling effect? On iOS when you reach the start or end while scrolling it will kinda get slower and bounce back. On Android if youre at the start or end and try to scroll it just stands still.

It's not a train smash. Just feels weird to me after using iOS for so long

As a matter of fact Samsung had implemented, this feature "overscrolling" /elastic effect , in their firmware. This was a year or 3 back.
Not sure, but think I used it on my Note5.
However Samsung stopped this scrolling effect , as
it was one of the patent infringement, Apple sued Samsung.

International unlocked Galaxy Note 8 is getting an update at last

In what has been an almost excruciating wait for Galaxy Note 8 owners, who spent a hefty amount to buy the device only to see no sign of a software update for more than two months, Samsung is finally pushing an update that includes the November security patch and a slew of other changes. The update, which started out in China and made its way to the T-Mobile Note 8 more than a week ago, is currently rolling out in Taiwan, and it shouldn’t take too long to reach other regions.

In addition to the November security patch, the update brings improved performance in the Calendar, Gallery, Voice Recorder, and Reminder apps, a new secure Wi-Fi function, and a fix for an unexplained Samsung DeX error. The firmware version is N950FXXU1BQK6, and at upwards of 840 MB, is among the biggest OTA updates that don’t bring a major Android version upgrade that we have seen. But then again, with the time Samsung has taken to actually give us an update, it doesn’t surprise us all that much. Hopefully, future updates won’t take as long, especially those that bring the ever-so-important Android security patches.

Nice.

It better be good for making us wait this long.

With that said, this phone has performed incredibly well for me personally, so the update better not screw anything up.

I don't know if I have the words right, but there's a saying, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
