Exclusive: Samsung stops Galaxy S8 Android 8.0 release, new version being developed

[henklbr]

Samsung started rolling out the much-awaited Android 8.0 Oreo update for the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8+ last week. As promised, the update was first released to members of the beta program before it was rolled out to non-beta devices earlier this week. The update had only been sent out in a handful of markets but in a rather unexpected turn of events, Samsung has stopped the Galaxy S8 Android 8.0 Oreo update release.

What's going on at Samsung phone support dep?
Oreo versions are late on Samsung devices and now they had to stop the upgrade. :S

My GF HTC 10 got Oreo weeks ago flawless.

At least we have Oreo alternatives for S8/S8+ like:

- Google Edition
- LightROM
- stable oreo

Google Edition working flawless on my (EU) S8+

"We" being everyone except the entire US market. It's infuriatingly frustrating. But ya'll enjoy all the custom roms and unlocked bootloader goodness. Just remember us in your prayers.

I bet it has to do with the face emoji that they want to put on the s9. I bet it's being ported over to s8. I hope for 8.1 as well or whatever comes out when it rolls out
