Google yesterday decided to finally unveil the moniker of the next iteration of Android. Simply known as “O”. If you are still using Kitkat or lollipop, its time to dust it off and upgrade to atleast Android 6.0.
Android Oreo is supposed to be faster, smarter and more powerful than any of the previous versions of the mobile platform.
Google also says that by the end of the year you should expect devices from Essential, General Mobile, HMD Global, Huawei, HTC, Kyocera, LG, Motorola, Samsung, Sharp, and Sony to either launch with or be upgraded to Android Oreo.
Here is a Quick Run Down of Android 8.0 Oreo
