All other devices already have the updates

Android 8 for Razer
- Thread starter Razer_BOSS
- Start date
Yeah I agree. I really want to see some custom ROMs on the razer phone but untill they release android 8 that's not going to happen. Really surprised that they haven't already released it as it's basically stock android
We where told it would be in the 1Q of this year and we are still in that period. Also other manufacturers don't have a 120Hz screen to think about and test that it works correctly on Oreo so give them time to perfect it and fix the bugs that are currently in N.
As much as I want Oreo it's best to let them work and not rush it out the door.
They'll have the 120Hz screen to work on, the theme engine to work on and the game engine etc.
will say however that if Oreo isn't due soon then they should at least publish an update for this crashing issue on Netflix and Google Play Movies.

Only 5 days left of Q1 now though.
Fully expect a delay of the update now unfortunately. Hope in wrong though.
EDIT: This tweet from Min doesn't add much hope for me ""We'll have an announcement very soon on this"

I just got confirmed it'll be released by April. No need to keep waiting these days for a before-end-of-Q1 release.

Me (11:46:57 AM):I was wondering when was the Oreo update going to be released... As it was scheduled to be released by end Q1, and that's just a few days to go.

CS agents usually know jack, but i'll admit I wouldn't be surprised if it's delayed I was fully expecting it.
CS agents usually don't know much, but they also usually won't give out even approximate dates unless they've been told to. I can live with an April release. It's not much of a delay and I'd rather it be a good update then a rushed POS.
I can't see them being told anything like this tbh in case one of them "slip up" but I agree i'd rather they get it done properly and good for use.
Would however like an update for the hardlocks for netflix and google play movies at least to tide us over but I can't see that happening.
so the oreo update will be released this month or in april?
i dont understard if is after q1

If the support agent is correct, April which is the first part of Q2.

Do you guys think that we will be getting an update for the Camera along with Oreo?
Mid-late April

I did it! Everything is working perfectly except for the Netflix app (it says my device is not compatible).
I also feel the camera app more responsive and a little better quality than before. I don't know if they improved it
I really hope that they have updated and improved the camera as its the one thing that holds this phone back along with the irrating vibrate
From what I know, the weird vibration noise is a hardware issue. You can always turn it off for calls and each individual app. It would be nice though if we had an intensity control, that way we could set it up at the optimal value so it does not sound like broken.
