Samsung: Here is the list of models that should update to Android 8.0 Oreo
Thanks to XDA you can take stock of the situation of Samsung smartphones that will probably be updated to Android 8.0 Oreo. Let’s see the list in detail.
Android Oreo was released by Google a few months ago, and with it also all the new features that the Mountain View company decided to implement in it especially to make it more secure and in step with the times. In fact, its release occurred initially for smartphones ” made in Google ” as the Pixel and Nexus while other companies are still taken in porting Oreo in their custom interfaces.
Samsung is one of these because at the moment there are still many smartphones that have to receive the new Android 8.0 Oreo and that are somehow making the users feel impatient. XDA has decided to take stock of the situation of which devices will actually receive the new firmware from Google and which will hardly receive it.
Here is the whole list of Samsung devices that could receive Android Oreo based on the assumptions of the community but also on what was discovered by the first firmware in Beta that have long reached smartphone with the Galaxy S8. In fact, this list, being unofficial and not confirmed by Samsung, may not be completely truthful and not everyone could get the new firmware.
