Samsung resumes Android Oreo update for Galaxy S7 and S7 edge

A few weeks back Samsung has announced that it is rolling out the latest Android 8.0 Oreo update for its Galaxy S7 and S7 edge. After the announcement the S7 and S7 edge owners were happy. But a couple of days back we have reported that the update didn't last for too long, as the company has stopped the update. The company has a deployment of the update on hold due to some issues.

It was reported by the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge users that their phones were rebooted unexpectedly soon after the Android 8.0 Oreo update. However, Samsung has managed to find the cause and even patch the issue.

However, it seems that the reboot issues only affect the international Galaxy S7 variants, so if you're situated in the United States, then you are still eligible for the Oreo update.

Samsung has confirmed that it has resumed the issues with Galaxy S7 and S7 edge Oreo update rollout. So the users who haven't received it yet, then they can look for the new firmware versions G930FXXU2ERE8 and G935FXXU2ERE8, which will bring the phones to the latest version of Android OS.

Just to recall, The S7 rocks a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display. With a resolution of 1440 x 2560pixels, it offers a pixel density of 577ppi.

The Galaxy S7 is powered by a Snapdragon 820 chipset or the Samsung Exynos 8890 depending on the region you choose to buy it. Both these chipsets are considered as top of the line in the industry. It comes with 4GB of RAM in two storage variants - 32GB or 64GB. It also has a microSD slot to further expand the storage up to 256GB.

The Galaxy S7 has a dual pixel 12-megapixel sensor with a f/1.7 aperture at the back. It also has OIS (optical image stabilisation), phase detection autofocus, and a LED flash to assist in low-light photography. At the front is a 5-megapixel camera.

When it comes to battery life, the Galaxy S7 lasts for around 20 hours easily on a full charge thanks to its 3,000mAh battery.
