Android Oreo update G950USQU1ZQJB for Galaxy S8 and G955USQU1ZQJJ for Galaxy S8 Plus
Picture in Picture
Android O allows you to launch a YouTube video in picture-in-picture (PIP) mode. This lets you use other apps while still watching the video. The video displays in a small window that you can drag to any part of the screen.
Notifications Visual Cleanup
More distinct visual hierarchy that is easier to scan and emphasizes what is most important.
Notification Badges
Notification badges (or notification dots) appear on an apps’ icon to let you know the app has a notification for you. The badges display notifications associated with one or more notification channel in an app that you have not yet dismissed or acted on.
When you press and hold an app icon that’s showing a notification badge, the notification details will pop-up right on your Home screen. No need to go into the app.
Notification Channels
The notification channel feature gives you more control over which specific notifications you want to receive and how you want the alert to behave. Notification channels are categories of notifications available in an app. You can turn on only the notification channels you want and customize how they behave. Notifications of the same channel behave the same way.
Always-On Display Updates
The Always-on display will transition to an ambient display during an incoming notification for easier reading. To wake your device simply double tap the screen.

Autofill makes signing in to apps quick and simple. Now you can pull your saved password data from Google Chrome or other auto-fill services.
