Samsung has its own UI (OneUI) built right over on top of the Android system, allowing them to bring Samsung’s extra features related to the device. TouchWiz, when compared to its older versions, has improved a lot.
With the revamped UI, Samsung needs to get things done like studying and implementing the Android 8.0 Oreo update for a particular device in any series.
Samsung devices launched before or in 2014 and 2015 are less likely to get the Android 8.0 Oreo update. So consider them out of the game already.
List Of Samsung Devices To Get Android 8.0 Oreo Update
Note: This Android Oreo Update list is based on company’s history in providing updates and device popularity/timeline.
Samsung Galaxy S Series
This is the flagship series of the Samsung smartphones and Samsung will most probably get the Android O update first for sure. Anyways here is the list.
- Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus (G950F, G950W, G950R4, G955, G955F)
- Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (G935F, G935FD, G935W8)
- Samsung Galaxy S7 ( G930, G930F, G930W8, G930FD)
- Samsung Galaxy S6 (all variants)
Note: The availability of the update may vary from carrier to carrier if you are in the US.
Other than these, we cannot expect the Galaxy S5 or earlier devices in this series to get the updates. So try to put your broken heart back together and move on and buy a new device if you have a Galaxy S5 or earlier smartphone.
Samsung Galaxy Note Series
