From Samsung Galaxy Note 8 to Xiaomi Redmi Note 4; here's a list of phones getting Android Oreo

Updated:Sat, September 23, 2017 2:22pm

This is just a list of devices that have been promised the update, with no specific timeline for the rollout.

   


Lately, there has been a lot of confusion on which devices will get the Android 8.0 Oreo update and which devices won't make the cut. Having launched the latest 8.0 version of Android OS earlier this year, Google recently confirmed that it has started rolling out the final update for its Pixel and Nexus devices. While the Pixel and certain Nexus smartphones are sure to get the update, Google is also working with other smartphone manufacturers such as HTC, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus and Sony to upgrade its new and existing devices to Android 8.0 Oreo sooner or later.

Android 8.0 Oreo comes with a host of new features. The most obvious visual change is a revamped Settings menu, which features subtle dark grey text on an all-white background. Android Oreo may finally fix issues with standby battery drain. Background Execution Limits being imposed in Android Oreo will ensure that apps won't run with background services open at all times. One of the best new features of Android Oreo is the ability to snooze individual notifications. Android Oreo also comes with the autofill feature. This means the new Android iteration will remember your logins so that you can get into your favorite apps with your permission. This is possibly the most awaited feature of Android O. The feature allows its users to perform two tasks simultaneously. Lastly, Connectivity will also be better with the new OS.

Below is a list of smartphones slated to get updated to Android Oreo, as compiled by Fonearena. According to the report, a variety of brands have confirmed that certain devices will get Android 8.0 Oreo update. However, some companies are yet to officially confirm the same.

Xiaomi partnered with Google for the launch of its Mi A1 smartphone and promised users that they will get the Android 8.0 Nougat update by the end of this year. Apart from Mi A1, the Mi MIX 2, Redmi Note 4, Redmi 4, Redmi 4A, Mi Max 2, Mi 6 and Mi Note 3 are also due to get the Android O update.

Check out the Nokia 2, a budget phone with a monster battery

Android Authority Check out the Nokia 2, a budget phone with a monster battery 19 hours ago HMD Global  is slowly building up its portfolio of stock-Android-running smartphones. In addition to the trio of mid-rangers (Nokia 3, 5, and 6)  it launched at MWC , the company bolstered its high-end with the  Nokia 8 , and now the other side of spectrum is getting some attention. Just  leaked by Evan Blass , the Nokia 2 looks… well, like a generic cheap phone. If you have a visceral hate of bezels, you’ll probably want to close this post and move on, but design is hardly the point here. Blass didn’t share any details about the Nokia 2, but we can make some educated guesses based on some other clues we’ve got about the phone.

Dates in renders are often set to match the launch time, but this could be an old render and there’s still time for things to change. Read more Hands-on with the Noki
