Samsung has started to roll-out its Android 8.0 Oreo upgrade to last year’s flagship smartphone, Galaxy Note 8. According to reports, the update is now available to users in France, with the new software expected to roll-out to other European countries in the coming weeks. Samsung typically staggers major software upgrades, like the move to Android Oreo. The company is in the midst of pushing out Android Oreo to its Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ smartphones at the moment, following months of beta builds last year. Both Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+ and Galaxy Note 8 will all run the same version of Oreo.
