Google announced the Android 8.0 Oreo update in August last year and since then many smartphone manufacturers are gearing up to provide the latest update to its smartphones. While a number of smartphone companies have rolled out the latest update, companies like Samsung seems to be far behind. However, it seems that the company is planning to roll out Android Oreo update and a list of smartphones and tablets that might receive the latest update have emerged online.
Folks at XDA Developers have created a list of Samsung smartphones and tablet that might get the Android Oreo update. The list is based on a deep dive into framework files of the leaked Android Oreo beta update for the Galaxy Note 8.
