The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Android 8.0 Oreo update will be one of the first, but if you can’t wait for the official release, you can download the update right away.
Samsung has only confirmed one Android 8.0 Oreo update, but the Galaxy S8 Android Oreo update is just one of several updates the company will roll out over the next year.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will definitely be powered by Android 7.1.1 Nougat and those who don’t want to wait until 2018 can download and install an early version of Android 8.0 Oreo right now.
Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8 Android 8.0 Oreo update was leaked ahead of the official rollout, joining the Galaxy S8 Android 8.0 beta. this leak is coming a user on reddit and requires a specific Galaxy Note 8 model running a very specific version of Android software.
Those who want to install Galaxy Note 8 Android 8.0 Oreo update OTA early will need US unlocked Snapdragon powered Galaxy Note 8 running firmware version N950USQS2BQK2 (Verizon). This is the latest version of unlocked Galaxy Note 8 software in the United States.
There is a workaround for other unlocked Galaxy Note 8 users (requires N950USQS2BQK2 to be installed), but only power users should try it.
This is the first time we’ve seen the Galaxy Note 8 Android 8.0 Oreo update and it looks like an early release. The build is unstable and can cause major problems for those running it.
Those who decide to try the leak on their device are advised to back up all their important files in case something goes wrong during the migration.

Samsung has yet to confirm the Oreo update for the Galaxy Note 8, so it’s unclear when it plans to release the official version of Android 8.0.
Earlier this year, Samsung Turkey said it plans to launch Android 8.0 Oreo in early 2018. It did not verify a specific version range or a specific list of devices that received the upgrade.
Considering the flagship status of the Galaxy Note 8, it should get Android 8.0 Oreo at the same time as the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+.
This leak shows that Samsung is making progress behind the scenes and Galaxy Note 8 owners should keep Android Oreo (and additional leaks) at bay as we head into the new year.
