The update to Android 7.1 Nougat should arrive shortly to the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8 +. Both devices were released with one of the most recent versions of Android. Despite that, Android 7.1 Nougat was already circulating, which is the most current that we can find on a computer at the moment.
The fact is that today we have had new news regarding the update corresponding to Android 7.1 for the Samsung Galaxy S8. The version has appeared on the Vodafone Australia website.
The operator publicly shows the versions corresponding to each device that are currently being reviewed. This indicates that the update itself is already going through the final stage of development, before being finally released to users.
And this is the case of Android 7.1 Nougat for the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8 +. This would indicate to us that Samsung has already provided the final version to the operators and that the rollout should take place shortly.
Update to Android 7.1 Nougat for the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 +
The update brings with it a number of improvements. Despite the fact that the table published by Vodafone Australia only indicates that it is an update with improvements and corrections, we know that Android 7.1 Nougat brings something else.
The pack will be updated with new emojis, new features for the main screen, and other minor tweaks. However, taking into account that users of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 + use their own emoticons, the addition of emojis must have very little relevance for them.
Be that as it may, at the moment there is no date on the horizon. We know that the update has to happen soon, so we will stay tuned for notifications. We should receive a message that the data package is ready and then we can update the equipment via FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) or over the air.
