First of the Android 8.0 Oreo Update Begins Rolling Out for the Galaxy S8 and S8+

It has finally started; Samsung is now rolling out the final and official Android 8.0 Oreo powered firmware for the Galaxy S8 and S8+ in Germany. Of course, it's the users who signed up for the beta firmware that are actually getting the OTA update at the moment, but others will soon follow. If you are running the beta already, the update size should be in the vicinity of 500MB, depending on where you are located and which version of the beta you have running on your S8 or S8+.

In Germany, the firmware which is being rolled out is version G955XXU1CRAP for the S8+ and it comes in at an expected size of 487MB. Keep in mind that the same update will be much larger if you are not a beta tester. It should only be a few hours from now, before you start seeing the Oreo package waiting for you (provided you are in Germany), even if you are not a beta user. Let us know if you spot the Android 8.0 update in any other region.
