Galaxy S6 Android 8.0 Oreo Release Date
There are rumors of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Android Oreo update, confirmed if you believe T-Mobile, but nothing is official until Samsung makes an announcement.
While we may see Samsung break from its standard protocol (usually offering major updates for two years), there’s no guarantee that the Galaxy S6 will make the official switch from Nougat to Oreo.
However, there is an outside chance for the company to hold onto the Galaxy S6 models until Samsung pours water over the flames.
If Samsung decides to release a Galaxy S6 Oreo update, we expect it to arrive much later than the Galaxy S8, Galaxy Note 8 and Galaxy S7 updates. In other words, don’t expect it to arrive in February.
While we wait for the official announcement, we want to share some tips to help Galaxy S6 users prepare for the official or unofficial version of Oreo.
