Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus users have been facing a lot of problems lately. From being unable to charge their phones once their battery reaches zero percent to random display wake up issues, the past week has been a hard one for the users.

However, things are about to change soon as we have good news for the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus owners. First reported by The Android Soul, the company seems to be prepping to roll out the stable Android 8.0 Oreo update to a number of S8 and S8 Plus devices. Multiple variants of the Galaxy S8 duo with Android Oreo have been certified on the Wi-Fi Alliance.

Even previous reports had suggested that the official update would be rolled out in late January. Samsung has been running an Android Oreo Beta program for the Galaxy S8 duo for quite a while now. The eligible Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus recently received the fifth Oreo beta patch, which included the fixes for both major and minor bugs.

With the arrival of Android Oreo, Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus users will be able to experience some exciting features such as 'Parallel Apps' or split screen style feature, Picture-in-Picture mode, Auto-fill, smart text selection and more. The new update will also bring in a revamped quick settings design.
