The Android 8.0 Oreo beta for the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 + has begun to roll out in different countries. This new version in testing phase comes with the latest version of the Android operating system, released just a few months. Plus, it includes a new version of Samsung's new customization layer, Samsung Experience 9.0. Some users have already downloaded the Android 8.0 Oreo beta on the Galaxy S8. They have done it through the Samsung application store, and they have left us some screenshots where they show us the changes. Next, we will tell you about them.
According to several users who have been able to test the new version, the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 + perform better than with Android 7.0 Oreo. This is not a strange thing, since one of the characteristics of Oreo is better performance in general. Other novelties that we see are the shortcuts to notifications in the application icons. As well as new settings in notifications. Picture-in-Picture function has also been added. This allows us to activate a floating image, a video, navigation in Google Maps or a call.
No additions by Samsung, or change in design
The interface on the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 + has not changed. It remains the same , with white colors and fast and fluid animations. At the moment, we don't see any additions from Samsung, just new Android 8.0 Oreo features. Most likely, the firm will launch a second beta with some new features of its own. Users expected a portrait mode on the Galaxy S8 camera, although there is no trace of this feature. Nor do we expect many news, we have to remember that they introduced great news in Android 7.0 Nougat, when the Samsung Galaxy S8 + came out.
The beta is now available for download. If you have this device you can do it from the specific application for Samsung. Remember, that being a beta it is best that you share the bugs and errors that you see during the program.
