Rogers scheduled to rollout Android Oreo for BlackBerry KEYone owners starting June 28th

Review: BlackBerry KEYone

If we’re to rely on the latest operating system schedule posted on Rogers’s forums, we’re just days away from the carrier rolling out Android Oreo 8.0 to the BlackBerry KEYone. The carrier expects the OS to start rolling out on June 28th. One other detail highlighted with the update is Wi-Fi calling, which we presume will be available for the device as well. With the last update Rogers rolled out was considered “Oreo prep,” it’s safe to assume that the carrier might stick to this timeline and KEYone owners are closer to getting the OS upgrade. Let us know once the update hits your device.

Samsung continues roll out of Oreo update for Galaxy S7 and S7 edge

Review: Samsung Galaxy S7

We might already be talking about Android P but operating system fragmentation remains a big issue for Google’s mobile OS. And so, now we’re still talking about Oreo updates. This time we’re focusing specifically on the halted updates of Android 8.0 to the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge. The rollout began a few days ago in the UK but the update was met with unexpected reboots for a limited number of units. A similar problem was reported here as well. That’s why the Korean company halted the release of the update to fix the issue. Thankfully, it didn’t take them too long to fix it. Firmware updates for the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge have started to rollout again. If it hasn’t hit your phone yet, just wait a bit. It should be heading your way soon.

Samsung Galaxy Note8 gets Android 8.0 Oreo

Samsung first brought Android 8.0 Oreo to the Galaxy S8 and S8+ in early February. Now, there are reports that the latest Android update is coming to the Note8, starting out with users in France and possibly some other countries as well. The baseband version of the Note8’s Android 8.0 update (or Samsung Experience 9.0) is N950FXXU3CRC1 and it includes the March security patch. We don’t have the official Oreo update notes yet so we can’t say yet what new features you can expect to come to the Note8.

Samsung starts rolling out Android Oreo for Galaxy S8 and S8+, starts in beta in Germany

Review: Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+

Better late than never, right? Samsung just began pushing out the Android 8.0 Oreo for the Galaxy S8 and S8+. But it’s not coming to all devices around the world just yet. Version SM-G955XXU1CRAP is currently rolling out to German users who are part of Samsung’s beta program. This will later make its way to other users in the country and then later on to other regions. When that will happen we don’t know yet.

The arrival of Android Oreo also means users will be getting February security patch and Samsung Experience 9.0, which introduces things like a new keyboard, color lens for the display, and improvements to Bixby.
