The Galaxy Annotation 8 isn't going to be the first device from Samsung to receive the Android 8.0 Oreo update. Samsung has actually been running a beta program for the Milky way S8 and Galaxy S8+. Both devices are expected to get their Oreo update past the end of this month.

Someone claiming to piece of work for Samsung posted pictures of their Galaxy Notation 8 model SM-N950F that randomly received the Oreo update. The Reddit user says this is a device "that customers can touch and use at will," so they probably piece of work at an experience center or in a retail location.

The screenshots testify that this device has received firmware version N950FXXU2CRA1.DM. Information technology appears to exist an internal test build of Oreo for the Galaxy Note 8 every bit information technology's certainly not a beta firmware. That much is evident from the firmware version.

The firmware is said to feature all of the improvements that are part parcel of Android 8.0 Oreo. It even includes the January 2018 security patch that Samsung detailed a couple of days agone.

The Reddit user says that they'll be able to provide more information well-nigh this tomorrow after going back to work. Information technology doesn't appear to be a soak examination because it's non mutual for Samsung to release major firmware updates to a few people ahead of a public release simply to examination the waters.

All the same, this reveals that Samsung has a pretty stable Oreo build for the Milky way Note 8 and that's good news. Galaxy Note 8 owners probably won't have to wait for too long once the company starts rolling out this update for the Milky way S8 and Milky way S8+.

The beta program for these devices will end on January 15 so there's a good adventure that Oreo might be released earlier the end of this month.
