Samsung Galaxy S8 will have Android 8 in 2018, one of the best-selling Android smartphones offering the update long after the official launch. Android 8 was released in the final version by Google last month, but the Samsung Galaxy S8 will only have it available for installation in 2018, more than 4 months after the developer company released the new version of Android.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 will have Android 8, probably, only when the Samsung Galaxy S9 can be bought by customers, this is almost the strategy of Samsung for updates. If any version of iOS is immediately available for iPhone and iPad, in the case of the Samsung Galaxy S8 users have to wait months upon months until Samsung takes the time to modify the operating system and offer it.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 is the perfect example of Android failure, which leaves users without new features for months and months because manufacturers don't care about customers. Samsung will start today a special program for testing Android 8 Oreo for the Samsung Galaxy S8, but the release of the update will take place in 2018, almost 1 year after the mobile phone was launched by the company.
Samsung Galaxy S8 will have Android 8 in 2018
Samsung Galaxy S8 has users all over the world, but only some of Samsung's customers will participate in the beta testing program of the update starting today. More precisely, Samsung Galaxy S8 customers in Great Britain, South Korea and North America will be able to install it starting from the next period, the rest will be looking at the walls for a few months.
Samsung Galaxy S8 was thought of as a premium smartphone with useful functions, but without Android 8 Oreo it is castrated and does not offer many benefits prepared by Google. Android 8.1 Oreo is also in the process of beta testing now, but Samsung Galaxy S8 users can't even dream of such a thing at the moment, Samsung being busy with other things, not updating the operating system for phones.
Samsung Galaxy S8 is the antithesis of iPhone 7, for example, where users not only have the latest updates available, but can also test beta versions without restrictions. Having said that, the Samsung Galaxy S8 proves once again how bad the situation of Android phones is and I emphasize the fact that not only Samsung is in this problem, but all the phone manufacturers with this operating system.
