Remember Samsung Galaxy Note Fan Edition? It got Android Oreo Update

The Samsung Galaxy Note Fan Edition is the revamped version of the defunct Galaxy Note 7. If you recall, the latter was first launched in August 2016 and was later discontinued in less than three months because the phone was just exploding, posing a great danger to the safety of its users. While Samsung finally agreed to take it off the market for good, so many people were still willing to risk their lives to continue to use the phone.

The Korean company recalled the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 twice and deactivated all units, then in July last year, they launched the Samsung Galaxy Note Fan Edition (FE) using some parts from Galaxy Note 7 units that were returned, and some from those that were never sold. The handset's chipset got boosted from Snapdragon 820 mobile platform to Snapdragon 821 SoC, while the battery—which was the main cause of the explosions—got bumped down from 3500mAh to a lower capacity 3200mAh cell.

Samsung Galaxy Note Fan Edition was launched running Android 7.1.1 Nougat pre-loaded, but according to a report published today, the device is being updated to Android Oreo. As of the time of this writing, LG Uplus and SK Telecom are the models currently receiving the update beginning from today, whereas it will start rolling out to versions produced by other carrier very soon. In addition to new features that accompanies this new Android build, the update also includes the April security patch.
