Some users of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 are starting to receive the final version of Android 8 Oreo. The news broke a few hours ago on Reddit, where an image of the device with the update already installed has been published. This means that it is very possible that the South Korean is beginning to deploy it in all countries where this model is marketed. As often happens, Android 8 would arrive in a staggered manner, so it could still take a few days or weeks to receive the new version.
However, it is normal that you see a pop-up message on the screen of your Galaxy Note 8 advising you of its arrival. You can also check it yourself from the settings section, about the device, software update. The screenshots show that this device has received firmware version N950FXXU2CRA1. DM. It corresponds, therefore, to the final version of Android 8 and not to a beta like those that had been published to date.
Android 8 comes to the Galaxy Note 8
The firmware is said to have all the enhancements that are part of the Android 8 package. Also included is the January security patch that Samsung released a couple of days ago. In this way, all users who update their device will be able to enjoy all the Oreo features in full. Until now, the platform could be used through the beta program, although, logically, it was an unstable version with some important bugs.
One of the novelties of Android 8, which Note 8 owners can start to enjoy, is a more intelligent notification system. With this new version it is possible to suspend notifications from certain applications or expand them to see part of the notification content. New emojis, better customization, as well as higher performance and battery optimization are also available.
Android 8 improvements on the Note 8
These are some of the general features, but a Reddit user who has already tried Oreo on his Note 8 has explained part of the news that comes to the device. As this user has been able to verify, a new keyboard can be seen to be used in any application. Also, Samsung Secure Folder now appears unlocked until the screen turns off. This makes it more comfortable to wear. In addition, it is also possible to backup to the Samsung cloud.
Android 8 on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will also allow us to customize the notifications on the icons. In turn, new edge lighting options arrive. Another novelty is the new API for filling in data and passwords, one of the most anticipated functions of the platform. Keep in mind that the models that have been updated are those that are powered by Exynos processors. That is, the European versions. This gives us hope to think that Spain could be one of the first countries where the new update begins to operate.
Since Android 8 could arrive on your Samsung Galaxy Note 8 shortly, we recommend that you prepare your device for this event. It is best if you make a backup of all the data on the device. Also, when updating, avoid downloading Android 8 from a public WiFi network or from your own data connection. Do not forget to have the mobile with more than fifty percent of battery when you are installing the update.
