However, there’s no word about Android Oreo 8.0 update, which Google recently announced but the Note 8 didn’t come with the same. Furthermore, the news rolled out about Samsung working on the Oreo update for its Galaxy S8/S8 plus. However, there’s no information yet about, how close the Android Oreo gets for the Galaxy Note 8.

Apart from that, Samsung is just regularly pushing out security updates as they company ahs promised earlier. But Samsung is still sluggish when it comes to major OS upgrades. Perhaps in the coming weeks, we could hear about a beta program for it and after a month done with beta testing. Then the South-Korena giant would finally roll out the highly anticipated Oreo update for its Galaxy Note 8 users; later in early December.

Well, you know the drill as usual, if you did not receive a notification for the update, just head over to System Settings > About Phone > System Updates, to manually check for update.
