    I feel like this Oreo update is never going to come!

    18th May is the rumoured date.

    Oreo update installed. On Vodafone.
    Like it a lot so far. Still digging into it but I like the small changes so far

    Not seen much to get excited about yet.

    How has the battery life/performance been ?
    I'm kind of reluctant to update my s7 yet as Nougat left me with a big decrease in both !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,736 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Seems the same. I'm always near a charger anyway...

    Anyone received the Oreo update on Eir?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,015 ✭✭✭✭Mc Love


    Do carriers release the update or does it come directly from your manufacturer?

    Carriers release them, most of the unbranded phones get their updates first you can check it here if there;s already an update for your phone.

    Downloaded this morning (Vodafone) and it's great. Love the UI enhancements, battery life is really good so far, and finally have LDAC to go with my Sony Bluetooth headphones. Very happy camper here.

    how much would be expected to buy one second hand? 350-400?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,848 ✭✭✭rizzee


    I bought mine for 380 new in box from a shop in Dublin over a year ago. Seem to be still going for strong money. Stretch 400-500 and you're oging into S8 territory and a seriously well-worth upgrade from the S7e. S9 release is dropping the price down too.

    Reckon Eir will be another few weeks. If memory serves correct, we've normally got updates way after other carriers.

    I got mine on Eir yesterday morning. Goes by your firmware version. I switched mine to EU SIM free one ages ago, doesn't have WiFi calling though which I think you get on Eir.
