Android Oreo update for Samsung Galaxy S8 comes to more markets

Review: Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+

Following the release in Germany, three more countries are getting the Android Oreo update for the Galaxy S8 and S8+. These are France, India, and Poland. To know if you’re getting the update, the firmware version is G950/G955-FXXU1CRAP for the S8 and S8+, respectively. It’s being reported that only those who participated in the Oreo beta program in India and Poland are getting the update. No word yet from France but we expect this to be the same as well.

Samsung Galaxy S9’s key specs get leaked by carrier

Samsung is set to unveil the Galaxy S9 at its own Unpacked event in Barcelona ahead of MWC 2018

There’s a bit of déjà vu happening here after one of the largest mobile carriers in the world accidentally leaked yet again the key specs of Samsung’s upcoming flagship, the Galaxy S9. Orange’s Romanian division, who also previously listed the Galaxy Note8 ahead of Samsung’s official launch, published the product page of the Galaxy S9. It was quickly pulled but the original details were still viewable thanks to web caching.

What was seen on the product page was Samsung sticking with the 5.8-inch Quad HD OLED "Infinity Display" seen on the Galaxy S8 and it still has the rear camera sporting an f/1.5 – f/2.4 aperture and OIS. There were also a couple of inaccuracies seen on the page. One is it lists the Galaxy S8’s chipset the Exynos 8895 and it supposedly has 3D Touch, which is an Apple brand name and is technology not expected to be seen on the Galaxy S9.

Samsung Galaxy S6 devices and Note5 tipped to be getting Android Oreo update

It has been said in the past that the Galaxy S6 was going to get Android 8.0 update. Samsung customer care representatives have supposedly confirmed that the device will be getting the update and this month will be the time it rolls out. Confirming this news, the development pages for the Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 edge, S6 edge+, and Note5 on T-Mobile’s site say the carrier and Samsung “have agreed to support a new software update,” which is Android Oreo. Samsung hasn’t released an official announcement about this but we’ll watch for it.
