The honor of being the first tablets launched with Android Oreo corresponds to the Alcatel T1 and the MediaPad M5, presented all of them at the MWC, but it seems that they were the first after Google to receive the update it will be for Samsung tablets: we will discover which are the first ones that will have it and when it will arrive.
The Galaxy Tab S3 would be the first Samsung tablet to update to Android Oreo
The first part of the news is not surprising and is that the Galaxy Tab S3 it would be the first one you will receive Android Oreo. Those who have one at home will appreciate the confirmation but it is what anyone would have expected, considering that it is the star tablet in the catalog of SamsungIn addition, we had known for a few weeks that it was among the devices on which the Koreans were testing the new version.
More interesting is to have a first notice of when you will receive the update: it will be between spring and summer of this year. The information comes to us through gsmarena and it comes from the website of Samsung in Canada, so it can be considered quite reliable, although it must be borne in mind that there are always certain differences between regions and that there may be changes in plans at the last minute.
The other Samsung tablets that will receive Android Oreo this year
Even if she is first in line, the Galaxy Tab S3 It is not the only tablet that will receive the update, but there would be at least three more that would follow, coinciding quite well with what the first listings of Samsung tablets that would upgrade to Android Oreo. Among them we have the Galaxy Tab A 8.0 and Galaxy Tab Active 2, which are also pretty safe bets considering that both were released late last year.
The one that most surprised us to see in that first list and that we meet again in today's list, is the Galaxy Tab A 10.1, a mid-range tablet (a range that always receives less attention) that was also launched about two years ago. The one that doesn't seem like it would have fallen off the list is Galaxy Tab S2, although it must be taken into account that it may be added later.
Samsung would continue to be the champion of updates on Android
It must be said that if these forecasts are fulfilled, with four tablets updated to Android Oreo, including two mid-range and one launched two years ago, Samsung It would show us once again that it is the brand we can trust the most in the updates section. In fact, it must be said, going even further, that it is the only one that we have news of at the moment that it is at least preparing them.
The not so positive part of all this, of course, is that by the time they start receiving it we will have the launch of Android 9.0 P just around the corner, if not it has taken place before, because according to the calendar that provided us Google It is scheduled for the third quarter and the logical thing is to think that, like other years, it will be approximately in the month of October.
