I was on the line with samsung+ and they told me that there are planning to release oreo for the tab s2,tab s3,galaxy s6 line,galaxy s7 line,galaxy s8 line as well as some other devices. Now this is NOT,and I wanted to get this clear,NOT 100% CONFIRMATION that tab s2 is getting oreo,they could change their minds about this,this isn't a press release,it's just samsung+ customer support,because I knew some people were gonna point out this isn't reliable but just wanted to let people know that tab s2 has a good chance of getting oreo
Tab s2 may be getting oreo (NOT 100%)

I found this post to be very useful. Here's hoping it's true and Oreo will make its way to myTab S2!
According to Sammobile, the Tab S2 is still on the "may or may not get Android 8.0" list. I doubt will ever get an official announcement from Samsung. It will either just show up one day or a year from now we can finally give up hope. There appears to be a fairly stable version of LineageOS 15.1 for those that can't (or don't want to) wait.
The latest info from XDA https://www.xda-developers.com/list-samsung-galaxy-android-oreo-update/
The S2 is not on the list for Oreo update. I'm inclined to believe this.
Last security patch August 2017, think about that...
The S7 is still patched sometimes.

Not for me though, I have the 8.0 LTE version, and there is no custom rom available for that one. I'm **** out of luck
Check again, of course there is. Well, depending on which one you mean. T-719 it is?Not for me though, I have the 8.0 LTE version, and there is no custom rom available for that one. I'm **** out of luck

Yes, That would be the 719 IIRC, I've seen that there is an unofficial build now, but from the looks of it the microphone and/or calling is non functional. Maybe I'll try it in a few weeks, would be amazing just to have 8.1 vanilla on there.
Yeah, I'm interested into getting a Tab S2 8.0. The ones selling online nowadays are mostly the T719.
There's an unofficial Lineage ROM for it now, but the phone speaker and mic aren't working. But if we could just use a Bluetooth headset to mitigate this problem, then I'm OK with it, cos I'd much prefer the Lineage ROM.
I've posted this question in the Lineage ROM thread, but no one replied so far. Has anyone succeeded in using a Bluetooth headset with it?

But Samsung does not have any newer medium sized tablet than the S2 8.0. There is no S3 8.0. So why shouldnt they update this device. Or there will be a small S3...
Oh, that's unfortunate. Here's to hoping it'll get fixed in the future.
Wouldn't be surprised. Samsung abandoned the Pro series back in 2014. Great device but stuck in Kit Kat if im not mistaken...
Meh, I doubt we will get Oreo.
Samsung usually pushes out 2 major updates at most, and we already got 2 major updates (Marshmallow and Nougat).

The 2016 S2 shipped with Marshmallow, so I'm not sure that counts as an update. However, I don't entirely disagree with your overall point because of the tablet's age - even the newer S2 is hitting the 2 year mark, which usually means the end of the line for support.
Be really good if the 9.7 LTE version gets an Oreo Rom. The WiFi version has had one for a few months now...
Since when? I am on the latest update available for my T813 (January 2018 Security update) and it is NOT Oreo but still Nougat. Unless you are referring to custom ROMs which is true. But this thread is a discussion about stock .
