Samsung halts Android 8.0 Oreo update for Galaxy S8

Samsung began pushing Android 8.0 to the Galaxy S8 in Germany one week ago, and since then, the update has made its way to GS8 and GS8+ units in a handful of other countries. Unfortunately, it sounds like all other Galaxy S8 owners will have to wait awhile longer for their serving of Oreo.

Samsung has halted its Android 8.0 Oreo update for the Galaxy S8 and S8+. According to SamMobile, the update is no longer available for download from Samsung's servers. There's no word yet on exactly why the update has been pulled, though.

Sources speaking to SamMobile say that Samsung is working on a new Oreo update for the Galaxy S8, but it's unclear when this new update might begin rolling out.

It's disappointing to hear that Samsung had to pull its Oreo update for the Galaxy S8. Owners of the GS8 and GS8+ have been waiting for months for their Android 8.0 update, but one week after it finally began rolling out, it had to be pulled. However, there must've been some issue with it or something that didn't work the way it should, so it's good that Samsung halted the update rather than keep pushing it out to users.

Stay tuned and we'll let you know when the Galaxy S8's Oreo update resumes its rollout.
