Android Oreo Update for Multiple Samsung Phones Delayed Until September

Jul. 4, 2018

Samsung customers have always complained about the company’s lackadaisical approach towards Android updates, and the latest news about the company’s Oreo update schedule isn’t likely to please them at all. That’s because latest reports now suggest that the Android Oreo update for a number of mid-ranged Samsung smartphones has been pushed back by several weeks.

There’s no official reason cited by Samsung for the delay, but one would imagine that the company must have stumbled across some serious bugs that need to squashed before the new software can be rolled out universally. The site had earlier reported that the Oreo ROMs for all the aforementioned devices were“in the test phase”.

While timely updates have always been a problem with Android, some OEMs are more guilty of tardy update schedules than others.Google would have hopedthatProject Treblewill be able to change that when the feature was introduced last year, but unfortunately for hundreds of millions of Android users around the world, thatdoesn’t seem to have happeneduntil now.
