Samsung Galaxy S8, S8 Plus Android 10 update, One UI 2.0, security updates, and more: April 2020 patch rolling out; March patch for Sprint and T-Mobile variants

Samsung Galaxy S8+ Update

Find all the software update related news regarding the Galaxy S8+ on this update timeline page of ours. You will find up to date news on Android 10 eligibility for the Galaxy S8 and S8+ here, as well as an ‘update table’ for each major carrier in the US (T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint), and the international variant, which would highlight the latest updates available, with their changelog.

Will Samsung Galaxy S8 get Android 10?

The S8 Plus is now 2+ years old, meaning and has already received two OS updates in Android Pie and Android Nougat. That means that the S8 Plus (and S8) is not eligible for the next big update it is not eligible for the next big OS update, Android 10.

However, it will continue to receive monthly security patch updates on a regular basis.

How to get Android 10 on Galaxy S8

Well, yes. On Android, you can install a custom ROM. When a custom ROM based on Android 10 is specifically made for Galaxy S8 sets, you will be able to install that and get Android 10 unofficially.

What’s bad is custom ROM is that they sometimes lack support for even the core functions, or have bad support. And there are some stability issues too, all of which make them not so suitable for a daily driver. But yes, there are some great ROMs out there that do serve well as a daily driver, so let’s not lose hope. Read more on Android 10 custom ROMs that you can expect on Galaxy S8 below.

Galaxy S8/S8 Plus Android 10 custom ROMs

We expect Android 10 custom ROMs to become available for Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus sometime in Q2 2020. It may happen early, so sure to check this space later on.

Keep an eye on these pages for Android 10 ROMs. However, don’t get your hopes high because this could take time, and truth be told, it’s possible that a really good Android 10 ROM doesn’t even show up.

That said, we are hopeful that the popular ROMs like LineageOS 17 and Android 10 GSI will become compatible with the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus, and they should be pretty good ROMs, even suitable as a daily driver.

Samsung Galaxy S8/S8 Plus One UI 2.0

Well, as the One UI 2.0 update is based on Android 10, which the S8 is not eligible for, you won’t get the One UI 2.0 on your S8. For what it’s worth, Samsung has given you at least one feature from Android 10 already, in the form of sharing the password of or joining a Wi-Fi network using QR code.

  1. Hi, I’ve downloaded the latest S8+ firmware, and I waited until auto install through midnight..
    but unfortunately, until morning 10am+, the phone still under “samsung” blinking status, and totally cannot shut down or restart. Normally how long it takes to install the software, and also what is the solution if the blinking keep on going …

  2. Hello, i have a S8plus from Sprint that was unlocked. Now I am with T-Mobile. Which update do I download? Sprint’s or T-Mobile’s? Thank you

  3. So I have the unlocked S8+. the firmware is g955u1ueu5dsc1 but I do not see a clickable link for that, really need the combo files as well, can anyone help?
