Thanks to an early port released by XDA Member lukasb06, Samsung Galaxy S6 users can now get the sweet taste of Android Oreo on their devices, too. The port is based on LineageOS and should work on both flat screen Galaxy S6 and curved screen Galaxy S6 Edge models. Since it’s an early build, there are still quite a few bugs to be ironed out, however, basic functionalities such as WiFi, RIL, Bluetooth, NFC, and fingerprint scanner are reportedly working fine. If you want to give it a shot, be sure to check out the main thread for detailed instructions.

Meanwhile, an unofficial build of LineageOS 15.0 has also been ported to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 WiFi (2016), courtesy of XDA Recognized Developer LuK1337. As far as stability is concerned, everything seems to be working fine in the early build, except the fact that the camera is broken and SELinux Policy couldn’t be set to Enforcing.
