Last updated: December 8th, 2017 at 16:01 UTC+01:00

Well, it seems while Samsung is only doing betas for Android viii.0 Oreo on the Galaxy S8, it also has a couple of Oreo test builds for the Milky way Note 8, at least for the unlocked Snapdragon-powered Note 8 in the US. Someone has managed to take hold of an Android 8.0 OTA for Samsung's latest Note flagship and has posted links for it to Reddit for all to see and effort out. Every bit expected, it's non a stable or final build, but it seems to be working well enough every bit a trial firmware.

The leaked OTA requires the device to be on firmware version N950USQS2BQK2, which is the latest official build and only available for unlocked Note eight units on Verizon at this signal. Still, to get around that limitation, any unlocked Note 8 owner can become the N950USQS2BQK2 firmware on their device by following the upgrade path suggested by the Reddit user. Also, this is just for the Snapdragon-powered Galaxy Note viii in the US, if that wasn't articulate already.

Try the leaked Galaxy Note eight Oreo build at your own risk

Naturally, nosotros don't support flashing unofficial software unless information technology comes directly from Samsung as part of a beta exam programme, and so you lot're on your own and would require some cognition of flashing firmware (both via a PC and through the telephone'southward recovery mode) if y'all decide to endeavour this out. What we can suggest is looking at a few step-by-stride guides that seem to be making the rounds online with directions for installing the leaked Oreo build.

We would too suggest making a proper fill-in of your Note 8 via Samsung Smart Switch (or any of your favorite fill-in apps) earlier trying the test Oreo firmware, as y'all may have to wipe all your phone'southward data (including images and other files on the internal storage). And, if you do install it, allow usa know how it works!
