Version 8.0 of Android named Oreo was made available to the device vendors on 21 August 2017. That was 5 months back. Even though the latest phones are being shipped with Oreo, not all existing devices will be lucky enough to get it. Since a lot of people have been worried about whether they will or won’t be getting the Oreo update, here is a list of smartphones that will surely be getting it.
Since Google owns the android project it always takes care of its devices and makes sure they get updated to the latest version of Android.

- Pixel XL

Samsung
I wouldn’t be able to count the number of phones Samsung launches every year using the number of fingers on my hand.

- Mi A1
- Mi Mix 2
LG
LG has been very particular about its phones and has enjoyed premium success with them. The following phones will be updated to Android version 8.0. Though the update for V20 might just happen, the G5 probably won’t get an update at all due to poor sales.

What if my phone doesn’t get the Oreo Update?
Well, would that really be a big deal? If yes, then you could go for custom ROMs. There are some really good custom ROM projects that have support for a large array of devices and are often the first ones to get the latest Android updates, even before the OEMs. If you wish to install android oreo on your smartphone via custom ROMs, you should check our list of the Most famous Custom Roms for Android.
