Just a few days ago the Android 8 update for the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 + was announced in Europe. The truth is that without prior notice the South Korean canceled it. Firmware files are no longer available for download from their servers. This left many users puzzled, who wondered what was happening. From SamMobile they have contacted the company to ask for explanations. The answers have not been long in coming.
These are the reasons
Samsung has given the reasons why it has stopped updating Oreo for its current flagships. The Asian firm has reported that after a limited number of cases in which the devices were unexpectedly rebooted, they have been forced to temporarily postpone the update. Samsung has revealed that it is investigating the issue internally to ensure that the impact on affected devices is minimized, and that the update rollout can resume as soon as possible.
Those who have already updated to Android 8.0 Oreo don't really have to do anything. They can continue to use their phones as they have since the update began rolling out. However, those who downloaded the firmware on their phones, but had not installed it, will have to wait. And it is that those files will be automatically deleted from your devices.
The truth is that the news of the cancellation of the system for the Galaxy S8 has not sat well with many users. Nobody expected a failure in the Oreo launch after going through a rather exhaustive beta testing phase. However, you have to think that these measures are correct after checking some important faults. In this sense, Samsung has reacted as it should and was its obligation. We hope that the solution does not take long to arrive and very soon we can inform you that the company makes the Galaxy S8 Android 8 available again. We will give you all the news as soon as necessary.
