Good news for Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ owners! Samsung is going to release Android Oreo BETA TESTING by 27th November 2017 for US versions. S8 and S8+ may get selfie focus and live focus mode after the software update which doesn't require dual cameras. So Indian versions may get them by December ending or they won't release Beta testing in India. It's all up to Samsung team whatever they decide. Well who knows perfectly when the firmware is going to available for Indian Version ?!

[ Respected Samsung team members, please try not to disappoint your Indian customers again after that late release of Bixby voice incident. ]

The first phase of the update should include North America, the United Kingdom, and South Korea. The second phase will cover regions like China, France, Germany, India, Poland, and Spain.

The release date was never confirmed by any of the sites. 31st October rumour was floating around due to a user who goes by the nickname 'mweinbach' on XDA. That being said, the beta is going to be out for phase one countries soon. Some have already found a way to enroll into beta and are posting screenshots and answering queries regarding the new OS on reddit.
