Know when the new version of Android will be released, very interesting. But even more important and interesting to know the time period for updating to a new OS certain devices. A message appeared on the web, considering when smart phones from different brands will be updated to Android O, version 2017 of the most popular mobile OS.
Finally, it was supposedly known about when the popular Android devices update to Android O. As the past experience shows, only a very small number of Android users get the opportunity to try the new version of Android on the very first day of its availability. Pixel users will get the new OS first. And there is no doubt about this. But which devices will be next? For more details about this, see the resources of phoneArena. Com Peter K. (Peter K).
Android O is an important update to the operating system. And this means that it debuts many improvements to the operating system. In addition, many essential elements of Android will be reworked - once again.
Perhaps many users will like what the notifications look like. Redesign touched and menu settings, which will become better organized. And these are just some small examples of what the new operating system brings with it.
The new operating system will be offered by Google to the public in early or mid-August 2017. According to rumors, owners of Pixel can hope to update their devices "by air" in the first weeks of the last summer month of this year. Developer Preview 4 may not be available at all, so the number of public beta versions will be limited to three. But this again follows from rumors. Android O Developer Preview 3 is available for beta testing right now, however, since it's not about a stable version of the OS, I recommend to try it no one will.
In the past year, the debut of Android Nougat was unexpected and early enough - it took place on August 22, 2016, which was in some ways a surprise for those who are familiar with the history of the most popular mobile operating system and the tradition of the release of its next versions. And, it seems, Google liked the idea that the new version of Android should be introduced earlier than usual. In the past years, users are accustomed to the debuts of new versions of Android in the fall - in October or even November.
Android 4. 0 Ice Cream Sandwich was released on October 18, 2011, but already on July 9, 2012 saw the light of Android 4. 3 Jelly Bean. October 31, 2013 remember the users of the most popular mobile OS debut Android 4. 4 KitKat. Even closer to the New Year - November 12, 2014 - the search giant released Android 5. 0 Lollipop. Android 6. 0 Marshmallow debuted more than a month before its predecessor - October 5, 2015. But last year's Android 7. 0 Nougat came out before the end of summer - August 22, 2016. According to rumors, Android 8. 0 O can debut in early August 2017.
But the time of the release of the operating system is not the only issue that users. It is important to know when the real devices will be updated, and not just the date of theoretical availability of the OS.
Already, on the basis of rumors and assumptions, you can try to make a definite impression of when and which devices will begin to receive an upgrade to Android O, an operating system that is not even known now, whether it will be called Android Oreo or otherwise.
Google.
Google Pixel, Pixel XL - Google's own devices, and they will begin to receive an update to Android O immediately after its official release. Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X - former Google flagships are likely to be updated after the Pixel models and are expected to work under the new OS until the end of this year.
Samsung.
Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8 + - information, of course, no, but based on past experience, Android O can become available for these smartphones in January-February 2018. Versions for certain telecom operators can be updated in February-March 2018.
Galaxy Note 8 - the likelihood that Note 8 will become "out of the box" to run Android O is small. Thus, he will receive an update before the end of 2017 or in January-February 2018, like the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 +.
Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge - the former flagships have faded into the background, so they will receive an update a little later. It will not be a surprise if they start to be updated to Android O in March-April 2018.
Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 edge, Galaxy S6 edge + - Android O will be the last significant software update for these smartphones. Probably, the provision of this update will begin in the spring of 2018, more precisely, it will not work.
LG.
LG V30 - there is considerable likelihood that the LG V30 will be the first phone delivered with the pre-installed Android O, just as last year's V20 was the first smartphone with the preinstalled Nougat.
LG G6 - the flagship LG, is likely to get Android O before the end of this year, most likely in November-December 2017. Based on past experience, this also applies to versions of this flagship designed for certain operators.
LG V20 - nothing has been reported about the update of this phoblet to Android O, we can only assume that it will start in late 2017 - early 2018.
LG G5 - given that the G5 only in mid-May 2017 was updated to Android Nougat, the owners of this device, it seems, will have to wait until the update to Android O for almost a year.
HTC.
HTC U11 - HTC usually promises to update its flagship phones to the newest version of Android within 90 days, after its debut. This means that it is very likely that HTC U11 will receive the new Android O operating system before the end of 2017.
HTC 10 - this device is no longer the most up-to-date of the company's flagships, and this means that getting them to upgrade to Android O may begin somewhat later than the HTC U11 update. Speech, even under the least favorable scenario, can go on the beginning of 2018.
Sony.
Sony Xperia XZ Premium - According to rumors, Sony's newest top phone will begin to receive an upgrade to Android O in late 2017, possibly in December. The same applies to Sony Xperia XZs.
OnePlus.
OnePlus 5 - it is very likely that the latest smartphones OnePlus 5 will run Android O before the end of 2017.
OnePlus 3 / OnePlus 3T - OnePlus Chapter Pete Lau promised that these two smartphones will run Android O before the end of 2017.
Nokia.
The company HMD Global promised that all Nokia smartphones - Nokia 3, 5, and 6 - will be upgraded to Android O, which in itself pleases users of these devices. At the same time, there was no specific update time for these phones. Since Nokia smartphones running Android have become for the market new products in 2017, there is no background that would suggest the time of their upgrade to the next version of the operating system.
