Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge will soon be receiving Android Oreo. The unlocked models of the smartphones were recently recently spotted on Wi-Fi Alliance with Android 8.0 Oreo OS, and all the major US variants have now been certified with Oreo. This means, Android Oreo update for Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge is around the corner.

Unfortunately, we are not sure exactly when the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge Oreo update will start rolling out. Samsung Turkey's official website had previously said the smartphones will be receiving the update on April 13, but the update was never released. However, we expect the update to arrive by the end of this month.

 

It is worth mentioning that Android Oreo will be the last major software update for Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, as the smartphones were launched in 2016. Presumably, the Oreo update will be rolled out in phases so not everyone will be receiving the update at the same time.

Previous reports have suggested that with the arrival of Oreo, the smartphones will get the new Samsung Experience UI. Android Oreo will also bring features like Picture-in-Picture mode, Notification Dots, Android Instant Apps, Longer battery life, Notification channel, and more.

To give you some insight, picture-in-picture mode will let users simultaneously watch YouTube videos and use other apps. This feature is already available in the current version of iOS. However, users can only watch videos running on Safari web browser. The YouTube app does not allow any such feature on iOS as well.

Another feature that makes Oreo a much better improvement over Android Nougat is the notification visuals. Users will be able to view the notifications with much clarity and with several options provided for each notification.

Always-on display along with auto fill has also been provided in Oreo update as well. Auto-fill allows signing into apps more quickly and easily. There are also several options available for any text selection made on Android Oreo.
