Samsung is notwithstanding to confirm when it'due south going to release the Android 8.0 Oreo update for the Milky way S8 and the Galaxy S8+. The beta program concluded a couple of weeks back and in that location's even so no confirmation about the public release. We confirmed yesterday that Samsung is working on the Android 8.0 Oreo update for the Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge and several other devices. However, information technology appears ane lucky user has already received said update on their Milky way S7 edge.

It's obviously impossible that Samsung volition release Android 8.0 Oreo for the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge earlier information technology'southward out for the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy Annotation 8.

This is probable a mistake on Samsung'southward part and the update was erroneously pushed out to this user. Information technology could be a dev version of the update or maybe it was leaked by someone over at Samsung Vietnam.

Don't think that this is the showtime time something like this has happened. We've seen the exact aforementioned affair happen in the by as well with previous Android platform updates and witnessed it most recently just concluding month when someone received the Oreo update on their Galaxy Note 8.

Information technology'south unclear right now how long Milky way S7 owners will have to wait before they get a taste of Oreo. The handset wasn't fifty-fifty a part of the beta program. One tin imagine that it's going to at least be a couple of months before the Android eight.0 Oreo update is rolled out for this device.
