Oreo update is a hoax

I just updated my Nougat Verizon S8 with the February 2018 security patch this morning. Not sure when it was pushed out.

It started rolling out 2/28 per https://forums.androidcentral.com/e....com/support/software-updates/&token=GdhU9F70

Security updates have nothing to do with Oreo. Even phones that won't get Oreo can receive updates. Anyway, if you're in the US, expect that you will be among the last to get the update. That's just how it is with the extent of control the US carriers have over the devices over there.

Only some manufacturers. The Pixel 2 got the 8.1 update right on time (December 2017) (it came with 8.0).

I'm not so sure about that. Moto Z Force is updated only thru the December security patch, even though January, February (and now, according to the previous post March) patches are available. My belief is, since the Moto Z Oreo "build", that was originally soaked in Brazil, was based on a foundation with the December security patch, they want that build to be the version distributed OTA and "then" apply new security patches.

It's over a year old so updates will be slower than the new phones.

Verizon's Moto Z2 Play on 7.1.1 got the Feb patch on 2/28.

Is that all they (Z2 Play) got?...the security patch? I thought I read the Z2 Play got Oreo? If not, then the original Z still has a long wait for Oreo...I'm also thinking there may be something wrong with the build...so long since the Brazil soak.

My husband's z2 force on AT&T got Oreo a week ago.

even the Note 8 is gonna get it way before the S8 will at this point.
