Will S8 come out with Android O?

[Kunal Prajapati]

This is the thing I'm anticipated about. What do you guys think?

 

[cohoman]

I pretty sure it won't, since Google just released O to developers and beta testers

 

[Aquila]

No, it will not. It's unclear whether it will release with 7.0 or 7.1.

 

[Josiah23]

Nope as its still in Beta. The S8 will eventually get the update though, probably a few months after release.

 

[trucksmoveamerica#AC]

Do you remember when the S7 and edge got nougat, probably that time frame

 

[Kayza]

If it doesn't have the latest version of Nougat, that will stink. This is not a low end or unexpected phone.

Happens a lot.

Happens a lot.

Sure, it does. But it's inexcusable in a phone this expensive.

It's annoying to us sure, but of the 40 million people about to buy this thing, at least 39,900,000 don't care at all.

 

[ThrottleJohnny]

And I don't care either. Let the Google owners test out the new OS. That's why they buy those devices. I'm perfectly happy with a fully functional 7.0.

 

[Jaycemiskel]

By time we get O on the S8, the Note will have it and there will be rumors about the s9 lol

 

[Gaurav Bondale]

I dont think that Samsung Galaxy S8 will come out with Android O as currently its announced for developers only so there are less chances that it will directly come in a device at least for now.

 

[Gaurav Bondale]

Agree! @Jaycemiskel

 

[AnishStha]

No it will stick with Nougat

 

[cjtayaban]

Android O is still in beta. So absolutely not.

It's a definite no. Although it would be so cool if it did

Google only just released the Dev Preview 1 for Android O and its not scheduled to launch until at least September so for now. Android 7.x will ship with the Galaxy S8. Additionally, most customers don't even know what 'Nougat' is. All they know is that the OS is Android. So to them. As long as the device is really fast. They are happy
