Sprint starts rolling out Android 8.0 Oreo to the Galaxy Note 8

It looks like good things happen to consumers who bought the Galaxy Note 8 in the United States. After Samsung announced earlier this week that it will upgrade the smartphone to Android 8.0 Oreo in 2-3 weeks, local carriers started to deploy the update.

AT&T was the first US carrier to offer the update, followed soon by Verizon. Now, we've received word that Sprint is rolling out Android 8.0 Oreo to the Galaxy Note 8, too. The update weighs in at 1.3GB and brings the March security patch, as well as Samsung Experience 9.0.

Besides the new features and improvements that come with Android 8.0 Oreo, Samsung included some of its own, which are meant to improve biometrics (face, fingerprints, and irises), Quick Panel, Home Screen, Samsung Keyboard, and system performance.

Since the roll-out has just begun, be patient if the update doesn't show up on your Note 8 right away. It shouldn't take more than a few days for Android 8.0 Oreo to arrive on all Sprint Galaxy Note 8 units.
