This major update is currently being tested in beta version by users across the globe hoping to see its upcoming release.There’s no official news from Samsung on when Android Oreo will be rolled out to millions of S8 owners but the latest news suggests it could come soon.

Firstly spotted by Reddit users, Samsung has confirmed that its beta programme will come to an end on January 15.

All new registrations for the test software are also closed now, meaning those who haven’t already signed up won’t now be able to download the beta release.

This latest news from Samsung very likely means that the last beta to be pushed out was the conclusive version that will come up on all devices. This update included a number of bug fixes such as resolving the issue of the phone restarting while using the camera and the home screen not fitting on the device properly.

So this is clearly exciting news for S8 fans but it’s worth noting that -- if you are a S8 owner, it still may take some time for Oreo to hit your device even after beta testing ends.

The update will be rolled out in batches to avoid any serious issue from affecting all the devices at once. Batch roll-out allows the company to stop the update if any serious issue is reported to ensure that only a small number of devices are affected by that issue. This approach is employed by almost all companies while rolling out a new software update.
