Android 8.0 Oreo beta for Galaxy S8 - Unlocked (UK) Sprint & T-Mobile (US) only.

Re: Android 8.0 Oreo beta for Galaxy S8 - Unlocked, Sprint & T-Mobile only.

is the unlocked rom also in the beta or I have to revert back to TMobile?

It's supposed to be available for unlocked devices but I haven't had any luck so far. I updated the Samsung Plus app but still haven't gotten a registration notice.

Pfft...I still haven't received an update since Aug :(
Interested in seeing how Oreo does on the phone...reports are it's a little faster/smoother though I can't say that I've noticed it being slow at all and I recently came over from an iP7+

Also curious if there are any conflicts with Nova Launcher and TeslaUnread.

can someone let me know if battery takes a hit or gets improved?

that's the only thing I'm worried about before I sign up for the beta cause my battery life as of now is great (regular S8 constantly getting 4+ hours screen on time)

Got the notice in the members app (uk) and updated. All seems smooth, hoping it stays that way.

New article on AC does not list unlocked version as part of beta

I got the invite to register for the Beta but I'm getting this message as the phone was bought in UK but I live in Argentina and use a local sim card now. I initially activated it with a UK sim card no problem. I'm wondering if it will let me in if I put the UK sim card in temporarily.beta.jpg
 
Got the message to enroll in beta, which I did, from Samsung + app. Not sure what comes next. S8 unlocked 950U1

After you enroll, give it a 10 minutes or so, then reboot your phone. Go to Settings / Software Update and do a manual check. It will then start downloading a 1309.56MB package. Good luck! I'm downloading now...
