Google released the final version of Android 8.0 Oreo update, the latest version of Android mobile operating system, in August 2017. Android 8.0 Oreo has been out for a while now with version 8.1 running on some phones, but most available smartphones are yet to get the latest from Google, thanks to the long-standing problem of Android fragmentation. In fact, very few smartphones, other than those which are ‘made by Google’ have actually received the update. Every manufacturer has set a different timeline for the rollout of Android 8.0 Oreo. Some like HMD Global (Nokia Mobiles), OnePlus, Honor, etc have already begun rolling out the update to their devices or opened beta testing. Here we give an overview of which devices are getting Android Oreo, and what is the current status on the rollout.

Android 8.0 Oreo update: Google Pixel/Nexus devices

Google began rolling out Android 8.0 Oreo to its Nexus and Pixel devices back in August 2017. Google Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 2, Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel C, Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X, and Nexus Player have received Android 8.0 Oreo and are now all on Android 8.1 Oreo. Both Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 (Wi-Fi and LTE variants) are not eligible to get Android Oreo.

Android 8.0 Oreo update: Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+, Note8 and others

Samsung has a beta programme for Samsung Experience 9.0, a new version that’s based on Android 8.0 Oreo. At the moment, the programme is only available on the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus in South Korea, the US, and the UK. In US, the Android Oreo beta testing is supposed to end on January 26. Hopefully Samsung will expand the programme in other countries, including India. Though the exact details are not out yet.
