T-Mobile finally starts rolling out Android 8.0 Oreo for LG G6

Once again, T-Mobile is the last major carrier in the United States to provide a major Android update for a flagship. Earlier today, the Uncarrier finally kicked off the rollout of Android 8.0 Oreo for Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge after weeks of delays.

Today, another high-end smartphone is getting a similar Android 8.0 Oreo update at T-Mobile – the LG G6. As some of you probably know by now, AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon have already released the update many weeks ago.

In any case, if you own the T-Mobile G6, you'll soon be able to download the update. According to T-Mobile, in order to prevent network congestion, this particular update is set on a scheduled daily limit, so it's very possible that some people won't be able to download it until next week.

However, the daily limit will be lifted on July 30, although there's a high chance that everyone will get the update on their LG G6 units by then. Unfortunately, the very short changelog doesn't mention anything else except “various bug fixes and software improvements,” but expect a security patch to be included in the update as well.
