The Android 8.0 update – what many are calling Android Oreo – will bring the next major version of Android to our devices, likely beginning in August. It will arrive first to Google devices, namely the Pixel ,
Pixel XL and supported Nexus devices, and then to other Android phones made by the likes of Samsung, LG, and more.
How soon your phone will get the update depends on a variety of factors: your phone manufacturer’s update track record, how new (and expensive) your phone is, whether your phone is unlocked or carrier-branded, your region, and so on. But, given past performance, we can draw some fairly accurate predictions of when you can expect to get the Android O update on your phone.
What follows is broken down into Android OEMs, based on how fast they got both Nougat and Marshmallow out, so just jump to the relevant section to see when the first Android 8 update should hit that company’s devices....
March 21: Android O developer preview 1 (alpha) .
May 17: Android O developer preview 2 (beta) – Android O beta program starts .
June 8: Android O developer preview 3 (beta) – final APIs and official SDK .
Mid-July: Android O developer preview 4 (final beta) .
