Samsung Starts Roll out of the Official Android 8.0 Oreo Update to Some Galaxy Note 8 Devices

Although there hasn't been an official announcement yet from Samsung, latest report from Reddit has it that some Samsung Galaxy Note 8 users have already started receiving the official Android 8.0 Oreo update on their devices.

This is still more of a random rollout has there hasn't been any official announcement from Samsung and not all users have gotten the new update yet. Also, have it in mind that Samsung plans on ending the beta program for Galaxy S8 and S8+ Plus users on January 15th which is another strong indication that the official rollout isn't far away.
