Samsung S7/ S7 edge Android Oreo update..when?

[zubs]

Samsung started rolling out Android Oreo today in the UK for BTU unlocked handsets. Reports that Vodafone has also started to push out update. Does anybody know how long before O2 start pushing out the update?

@Chris_K is the only one with info.

If past experience is anything, don't hold your breath.

I'm guessing it's gonna be a fairly long wait as Vodafone is the only network to add Oreo to there devices already (besides unlocked handsets). I'm thinking of getting my device unlocked from online so it's cheaper that going to 02 directly.. Just so I can get the oreo update without the long a** wait from the network provider.

One of the main features to the updating system in Oreo makes it easier for implementing updates so that carriers don't need to spend so much time testing to make sure that the update isn't going to break something.

This is why Vodafone has been so quick to release the update, I guess the other carriers including o2 didn't get the memo on this feature.

I asked a guy in o2 chat yesterday... jokers! Said u had to contact Samsung as o2 have no hand in such things. Told him Samsung UK chat sent me to my provider(o2) and then he said it's may but no date available

Similar story to when they launched Android Nougat. I have sent a PM to @Chris_K for a response...

Yeah I think as long as the csc is one listed on the SoC it's fine, not sure. But the only csc listed on mine are o2u,via and xec. Will just hold off me thinks just in case

Flashed the BTU Android 7.0 s7 version then OTA to 8.0 and it worked !!!!!
