As always the norm, these updates are available over the air and usually take some time to reach every user, so be patient and wait for the notification to pop-up. Or you can keep checking them by heading over to the Settings panel > About Phone > System Software Updates, to look for them manually. Such major Android upgrades often cover the region in phases, covering one area at a time, ensuring everyone gets it and it doesn’t overload the servers.

Lastly, make sure you have at least 50% or more battery on your device to successfully install this update, without any issues. With the Galaxy S8/S8 + unlocked variants getting the Oreo update, Samsung has managed successfully to deliver its word on updating every flagship launched in 2017 to the latest version.
