Fido to push Android Oreo to Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+ LG G6, V30 and Huawei P10 Plus in March

-

Fido will update Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+, LG G6, V30 and Huawei P10 Plus devices on its network to Android 8.0 Oreo later this month, according to the carrier's OS upgrade schedule webpage.

While there's no mention of specific dates related to any of the above devices, owners of those phones will likely be excited that the long wait to get the latest version of Android on their smartphone of choice is coming to an end.

Notably missing from the list is the Huawei P10. For whatever reason, it doesn't seem that Fido currently plans on updating the P10 to Oreo at the same time that it updates its bigger sibling.

Additionally, it doesn't seem that Fido parent Rogers plans on updating those same devices to Android Oreo this month either.

The Rogers OS upgrade schedule webpage doesn't mention when the carrier plans on updating the S8, S8+, G6, V30 and P10 to Oreo. Similarly, Telus' software update schedule webpage doesn't state when it plans to push Oreo to modern devices like the S8.

MobileSyrup has reached out to Samsung and LG for further information.

With Android tablets being... Android tablets, Chromebooks are quickly being adapted to fill the void. On supported devices , they combine the utility of Android apps with the flexibility of an adaptive (and productive) form-factor. The latest tweak, presenting Android-style Settings and Shortcuts apps in the launcher, further affirms the role Google's Chrome OS is set to assume.  It's no secret, we're of the opinion that Chrome OS devices are set to displace Android tablets, and app-centric changes like these seem to imply that Google feels the same way. The changes were announced just earlier today by François Beaufort , Chrome evangelist and Googler. Shortcuts and Settings apps in the launcher on Chrome OS (above), former location for  The Settings app was previously accessible via the 3-dot menu in the corner of most windows, or the avatar and icon-speckled menu to be bottom right.

Difference Between SSD and HDD

So you're building your own PC, and you're wondering whether to use the traditional hard drive or this new and improved solution: a solid-state drive (SSD). There's some major differences between the two types of drives, but what you're probably immediately noticing in your search for hardware parts is the price difference. Large mechanical drives (HDDs) are significantly less expensive than large SSDs, and there's a pretty big reason for that.

Samsung’s mobile boss recently confirmed that the Galaxy Note 8 is going to be launched towards the end of August . The company has now officially confirmed the Galaxy Note 8 launch date by sending out invites to the press. It was reported that Samsung would conduct a separate event for the Galaxy Note 8 in New York City. That’s precisely what it’s going to do. The event will take place on August 23, where the Note 8 will go official. This is going to be a really important moment for Samsung as it essentially marks the rebirth of the Galaxy Note lineup following the disaster that was the Galaxy Note 7 .
