According to SamMobile, Samsung has started working onAndroid Oreo updates for both the S8 and S8+. Reportedly, the Oreo firmware version couldbe G950FXXU1BQI1 on the Galaxy S8, and G955FXXU1BQI1on the Galaxy S8+. For now, there is no word on when Samsung is hoping to startrolling out the updates, but it would be cool if it managed to release them in thecoming months.



 



Other manufacturers, including HTC and Huawei, alreadypromised that they'd try to update select devices to Oreo before the end of theyear.
