Updated: Get your milk ready for official Oreo release (later)

4/23/2018 Update:

Seems Big Red made a big snafu in their announcement on their update page about the latest OTA being an Oreo update. Whoops!

http://www.androidguys.com/2018/04/2...alaxy-s7-oreo/

Also, they have fixed their software update page and removed all references to Oreo from the latest OTA:

It looks like we'll be seeing it before the end of May possibly:

=========================================


Per Android Community, the finishing touches are being done on Oreo for the S7 family which includes those of us on Verizon's version of the phone as well as unlocked phones.

No firm date has been set yet, but it could be any day now.

Per SamMobile, the US variants have been certified with Oreo.

For many, this may not be a big deal, especially if you root and flash. But for those of us that have no need to root and flash custom ROMs, this is big news. But sadly, it probably also marks the last official upgrade for the S7s. We'll probably get one more year of security updates and then we're on our own at that point.

Yes, there has been some misunderstanding at Verizon. The changelog for the BRC3 says Oreo and lists all the features but it's actually still Nougat OS. Can you share the screenshot from your device of the software info screen showing the Android OS and build no. both?

did they push the wrong update? or publish the wrong change log?
i think it was a fix for the update we had earlier this month , it was sucking my battery.

I definitely had an update applied in last two days at least that is BRC3 so looks like wrong changelog. Verizon support is clueless but is forwarding it to their IT team supposedly..

Edit: Also they mention April 1st security patch in Oreo/BRC3 changelog, I do have that as well but I think those can be pushed without OS update. None of the Oreo features are anywhere to be found though and still 7.0 according to about this phone.

or maybe its a multi-stage update.
an update to prepare for the update.

If you're not on Verizon's network, you own't receive the update. You'll have to wait for someone to upload the Verizon image and then ODIN it.

By being on Verizon's network..does a Straight Talk on Verizon's network count?
