Wondering if your Samsung Smartphone Gets Oreo? Here's a list.

Wondering if your Samsung Smartphone Gets Oreo? Here's a list.

Android 8, better known as Oreo has been announced last summer and is seeing slow adoption towards compatible devices. Samsung currently rolled out an Android Oreo beta program only to its Galaxy S8 and S8+ devices, and nobody really knows if other Galaxy device owners will get that yummy cookie update, that now changes as there is a list. 

So here's the thing, the list is not 100% official/confirmed but seems solid and was made thanks to help from a XDASenior Member. Within framework-res file of the unreleased Note 8 Android Oreo beta he and xda-developpers found a list of XML files that describe the hardware that is present on certain Samsung devices. More importantly, the titles of these XML files contain the internal code-names of many current Samsung devices. The existence of these XML files isn’t proof that the devices listed below will receive Oreo since they could be leftover files, however, the fact that several code-names for unreleased Samsung devices are also mentioned suggests to me that Samsung is experimenting with Oreo on these different devices.

That xml files with code names suggest that these devices are being tested by Samsung for Android Oreo and there is a good chance that they will get that update. 

So while not confirmed, it's plausible that the following devices will get Android 8.0 / Oreo:

Smartphones:

  • Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 (a3y17)
  • Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 (a5y17)
  • Samsung Galaxy A7 2017 (a7y17)
  • Samsung Galaxy A8 2016 SM-A810 (a8xe)
  • Samsung Galaxy A8 2018 (jackpotlte)
  • Samsung Galaxy A8 + 2018 (jackpot2lte)
  • Samsung Galaxy J3 2017 (j3y17)
  • Samsung Galaxy J5 2017 (j5y17)
  • Samsung Galaxy J7 2017 (j7y17)
  • Samsung Galaxy J7 + (jadelte)
  • Samsung Galaxy J7 Duos 2017 (j7duo)
  • Samsung Galaxy J7 Max (j7max)
  • Samsung Galaxy J7 Neo (j7velte)
  • Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime (j7popelte)
  • Samsung Galaxy Note FE (gracer)
  • Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (great)
  • Samsung Galaxy S7 (hero)
  • Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (hero2)
  • Samsung Galaxy S8 Active (cruiserlte)
  • Samsung Galaxy S8 (dream)
  • Samsung Galaxy S8 + (dream2)
  • Samsung Galaxy W2018 (kellylte)

Tablets:

  • Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 SM-T355 (gt58lte)
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 SM-T380 / T385 2017 (gta2s)
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 SM-T580 (gtaxl)
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 2 (gtactive2)
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab E 8.0 (gtesvelte)
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 SM-T825 (gts3)

Well yea the S7 is still on 7.0 because they haven't rolled 8.0 out yet, it's only just finished beta stage for the S8, flagships always get their updates first, got the S7 myself

Samsung always push 3 different versions of Android to their devices, S7 started on Marshmallow 6, Now on Nougat 7 and will get Oreo 8

If your Samsung phone is not on the list get Lineage.
I have Android 7 on my S3.

I have it on my OnePlus 5 for a while. Can't say I noticed much difference from 7, because the phone was super snappy and fast even before the update.

Well, S8 with their own Exynos CPU doesn't have the update listed yet (beta or not)
Only the Snapdragon version has it.

But not complaining... it works blazing fast in anything I've thrown at it so far so all good.
When it comes, it comes.
