After many months of waiting, Verizon has finally released the Android Oreo update for the Galaxy S8 and S8+. This build has not been officially pushed by any other carriers yet, but they should be pushing the update soon.

These updates are for the Snapdragon variants of the Galaxy S8 and S8+. The Exynos variants of the phone have already received Android Oreo. The update has been certified in the Play Store and passes SafetyNet. This build includes the February security patch and the typical array of Android Oreo features, such as notification channels, picture-in-picture mode, notification snoozing, background app optimizations, and more. As you would expect, there are plenty of Samsung-specific changes with Samsung Experience 9.0 as well.

This update should be available very soon, but if you want to install it now you can follow the guide below.
