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)

I was tired of waiting the Oreo upgrade for my S8+.
I flashed Google Edition Android O (ZRA5) yesterday, it's smooth and fast.
You can choose to install or not the Samsung bloatware and which one.

Well, they claim hardware incompatibility and what not. They'll never admit it but common sense dictates that Samsung (and all other companies) like outdated smartphones, so you will purchase a new and more secure one in that nice 2-year cycle.
Not sure why Samsung never updated past 4.4.2 cuz it works just fine.

TBH I am relieved that my Galaxy S6 and Tab S2 are NOT getting Oreo.
Because I'd die waiting for official OTA update

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

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.

I was on 7.0 in 2016 and i'm still on it. It hasn't gone to 7.1 or 7.1.1 ect which we were promised nearly a year ago

Samsung never/rarely go above the initial release version other than on I think T-Mobile, maybe other US variants I remember with the S5
Dunno who promised you 7.1.1 but it wasn't Samsung, probably some n00b Samsung social media employee who hasn't got a clue
Probably should do some research on Samsung updates before posting

S8 Oreo testing is still going on ATM, no idea when it will end. Even if the rumored list mentions other phones, there is no telling when they will get it. it could very well be when the next android will be announced lol
I'm doing fine with a 7.1.1 note8 port for my s7 edge. no way i could ever go back to stock nougat.

I recently updated my Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 (GT-P5210) to Lineage OS 14.1 with Android 7.1.2.
Not sure why Samsung never updated past 4.4.2 cuz it works just fine.
