Galaxy S7 Oreo Update: 8 Reasons to Get Excited & 2 Not To

Google's Changes

We expect the Galaxy S7 to benefit from Samsung's UI upgrades, but there are some exciting Google-level changes that you should be aware of as well. 

The Samsung Galaxy S8 Android Oreo update includes some of the features Nexus and Pixel users got back in 2017 and there's a good chance we'll see most of these arrive on board the Galaxy S7's Android Oreo update. Verizon's early change log included many of these enhancements.

These changes include Notification dots, Notification snoozing, Autofill, Adaptive Icons, improved copy and paste, and the emoji characters for the keyboard. These are all solid upgrades and they have the potential to make your life easier.
