LOL, I actually Googled this.(could not find an answer). My daughter is right... I have to get a life ;-)

I used to have a life. Sigh...


I found a picture of her!

SamMobile reported that a new build might be incoming any day now. And that might be the final build too...before the final rollout in Jan

Phone calls,camera, connectivity... No problems. No app crashes or funky triple vibrations. Smooth and fast. Nice. And December security patch!

Just installed. Email crashed one time. I wiped the cache partition and now it's on the charger. Hopefully this one is problem free.

The assessment is so good,Is there any reason not to try it?

While it has been improving overall with each successive build it's really an individual choice. If you're ok with a bit of risk, I'd say go for it. Backup your device first though, just to be safe and in case you want/need to roll back to Nougat.

It appears that if you use Smart Switch as a backup you can't backup in Oreo and restore to Nougat, at least not for the time being. Nougat to Nougat and Oreo to Oreo appear to be working correctly.

So far so good. I've stuck with every beta build so far, and this one is the first where I can definitively say (at least, for now) that it runs smoother than Nougat. Time often reveals more problems, so we'll see where this goes from here. So far, though, loving beta 4.

Stand-by battery overnight not so good. Going to charge before work and see how it does today. Maybe some background stuff running last night. Really smooth and fast though and no crashes this morning.

Isthere terminal access to TOP command to see what's churning inside??

So far, so good but I still don't have much time in with it yet. It does seem "snappier" but I'm not sure if that's wishful thinking or not... I haven't seen another email crash since the first one. Nine still isn't working properly but that might be a Nine problem. Nine functions as an email client but I can't save pictures from it anymore. That hasn't worked right since beta 1. Samsung email is doing the trick for the time being.
