Samsung Galaxy S6 to get Oreo update

The most frustrating thing about Android ecosystem is its updating mechanism. A software update takes not months but years to reach a smartphone. While some smartphone manufacturers do upgrade their skin on Android and allow the users to taste the latest operating system. There are many more, who never receive an upgrade and are forced to use the OS version, their smartphone came up with.

Samsung Galaxy S6 users are in for a treat as Samsung representatives from the support centers have confirmed that the smartphone will be getting Oreo update. Samsung has already confirmed the update from Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S7. Now the S6 is, apparently, in line too. The news has been revealed by a reddit user CyberConCoder who got confirmation from four different Samsung representatives on this end.

This is a great news and a pleasant surprise as the smartphone manufacturers are not really known for supporting 3 version old devices. This is a first and we hope the trend continues.

Here is it important to mention Project Treble, Google’s way of resolving the fragmentation issue in Android ecosystem. Google’s Project Treble enables smartphone manufacturers to update their devices to the latest version of Android easily without working on their custom UI like TouchWiz and MIUI.
