Just a few days back we reported that Samsung has started working on Android 8.0 Oreo updates for the Galaxy S8 Phones. Reportedly, the Oreo firmware version could be G950FXXU1BQI1 on the Galaxy S8, and G955FXXU1BQI1 on the Galaxy S8+.

Now, the Galaxy S8 (Non-Plus) variant has been spotted on Geekbench running the latest Android 8.0 Oreo. That means Oreo update for the Galaxy S8(s) is around the corner.

With Android 8.0 Oreo, you'll get new Settings and Notification panel UI, latest features including Picture in Picture (PIP), Adaptive icons, Autofill, Notification timeout, and new emojis.

That said, there's no exact date on when Samsung will be rolling out Android 8.0 Oreo for the duo Galaxy S8(s). We will let you know once the update is out.

The Android 7.1.1 Nougat update is still slowly rolling out to Nokia 3 but should you really update right now?

With the various exciting new features in Nokia 3's newest OS update, 7.1.1 Nougat, are various problems and bugs, as well. Many customers are reporting that most of the Applications are crashing after they installed the new update.

Few of the Nokia 3 users who updated to 7.1.1 Nougat are experiencing problem related to freezing or hanging of System Applications. Some couldn’t set the brightness level, some facing automatic mobile data off.

Another issue faced by a number of Nokia 3 users who are already on the new OS is the abnormal heating and battery drain.

Let’s hope Nokia will have a fix to this issue soon.

Most of the Nokia fans are looking for an Ultra-budget phone which is the Nokia 2 to release at the earliest, but one has to wait until the end of 2017 to get hands on it.

We already know that the device will be coming with Snapdragon 212 SoC clocked at 1.27 GHz, paired with 1GB RAM. Android 7.1.1 Nougat will be coming pre-installed with the Nokia 2.

That said, Nokia is expected to reveal its Ultra budget Nokia 2 later this year. Share your thoughts about this Smartphone in the below comment section!
