Oreo update to T-Mobile Galaxy S8. Tips?
So last night my phone finally got the Oreo update. Galaxy S8 on T-Mobile, as well as Samsung Experience 9.0 (whatever the hell that is). I've checked a few sites but can't really figure out what's new with it, other than the always-on display screen clock has a double-edged minute hand.
Anyone know a link to something the just simply tells me what's new? Other than a 45-minute YouTube video? I didn't believe the pre-launch hype, but I can see it's operating much faster. Was that all it did? Thanks |

My answer is limited in helpfulness, because my phone isn't Samsung, so Oreo filtered through Samsung's excellence (?) is probably different from Google's pure and untrammeled Oreo... but...
I'm on a Nexus 6P, a Google phone, so I got Oreo about as soon as it was available. I didn't see any significant changes. I guess the "new-n-improved" didn't impinge on my "old-n-unimproved" way of using my phone. YMMV. |

Yeah, I wish they'd just tell me what's new straight and simple. My unlocked OnePlus3 got the update last fall, noticed a change in the clock on sleep mode (The hour is in red sometimes) but that might have been because of OP3's Oxygen system.

When my HTC 10 updated, I didn't notice much. The notifications bar works a little differently, and the battery life seemed to improve a bit. The much ballyhooed "notification dots" on the app icons didn't show up, because I'm using Nova Launcher instead of the stock launcher, but you might be getting those.
