This leak comes from a supposed industry insider in China via Weibo, and according to them, this is the finalized list as of Nov. 24. However, there's no word on when the Android update will make its way to the aforementioned Samsung devices.
Galaxy S8 Android 8.0 Oreo Beta
For those who missed it, Samsung already kicked off the Android 8.0 Oreo beta program for the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus in the United States, the United Kingdom, and South Korea.
Aside from geographic restrictions, the rollout is pretty limited, especially in the case of U.S. owners who need to be on either Sprint or T-Mobile to participate.
On an interesting note, the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T, which are nearing old-phone status, received the Oreo flavor by way of OxygenOS 5.0 recently, getting the Android update way ahead of the newer and flashier OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T.
The Bottom Line
Long story short, most Galaxy devices are scheduled to get Android 8.0 Oreo sooner or later, but as usual, it's better to take this news with a grain of salt since the outcome hinges on just a leak, after all.
