It rolled out to Sprint's Note 3 three days ago.
It's been rolled out to the S4 and S5 by Verizon and T-mobile USA too.
Be patient.

So Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile devices got the update before international devices? Not that I really care abou the update, but this is...it's odd.
Samsung roll out update according to sales precepts, USA iPhone release make Samsung to release update before international phone, in my country U.A.E they release update if no new device being launched, after few updates for new device they forget about updates, if delay in update due to carriers approval how Samsung can relies update for newer devices along with other countries? Samsung don't care customers Simple.

Not really. US providers have a tendency to pay money for these sorts of things.
Don't get the point from a marketing perspective because US citizens cant get unbranded devices without a hassle anyway, and it won't make the EU users buy US devices either.
Sony has a habit of doing this, too, but on a larger scale. They tend to pay Google so they can put the competition on hold for 3 months. Bit awful that Google goes along with it, it's not as if they need the money...
Look on the bright side. The US users get to be guinea-pigs and pick out all the fatal flaws for us. Saves us the trouble.

Fellow Z force users, it has been announced that the 7.0 update is near. Maybe even today for some. My question is would I receive it like everyone else if im using it in the UK on a Network other than Verizon.
Good question. I'm in Canada, so wondering if I'll just get the OTA as well.
I do hope so. Maybe someone here has experience updating when out of U.S.
Yes, you should receive it even if you are outside of the US. My Droid Turbo got the updates when Verizon released it and I am in the UAE. So should not be a problem. Dont worry guys.

You were right. I definately did just get the update to 7.0!
I'm in the US and have Verizon, one the the largest cell phones companies in the country. I'm reading a lot online about how great nougat is, but I'm still waiting for an update. Why hasn't Verizon provided us with the update when it seems like everyone else is getting it??
Cause we told them not to release
This is XDA forum not Verizon customer care btw.
Because they suck in providing updates.

This is my first time with them. I was just wondering because I keep reading about how this update is here, but it's not yet arrived to Verizon. I found this strange on part.
Typically the US carriers are about a month or so behind. T-Mo seems to get updates out the fastest, but Verizon and AT&T have to make sure they cram the latest and greatest bloatware on there before they will push it out.
Has anyone with an unlocked S8 (US) received the Oreo ota yet?
Ive always had Verizon branded Galaxy / Android phones in the past so I am not as familiar with the unlocked ota process. Do unlocked Galaxy phones typically receive ota updates last?
I have a Tmo device on U1(unlocked) firmware and haven't received the update yet. It's somewhat annoying that both Vzw and Tmo got oreo before the unlocked.

Unlocked variants are usually the last ones to get the updates
:laugh: just got it..MetroPCS unlocked S8.

That is not the unlocked variant. If it is it has been flashed with SM-G950U firmware for MetroPCS. Your phone might be unlocked but the OP was asking about the SM-G950U1.

Why is unlocked variant last to get updates? No carrier bloat to update, so technically it should be first.

Unfortunately that's just how it's is, hence why Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint have the official Oreo update including the exynos variant. As for unlocked variants they'll eventually get it, but you'll probably get Oreo root faster than your official update. Or if you're impatient just grab an Oreo beta and work with that.
My Verizon s8+ that I use my tmobile sim got it yesterday. It changed the Verizon boot logo to tmobile. No more Verizon bloatware.
They said the U1 beta testers would be the first to get it too and that didn't happen.
Who ultimately pushes the ota for unlocked phones? Is it the manufacturer (Samsung) or the carrier that you're using the phone on?
If it is the carrier, then I suppose it makes sense that they would prioritize their locked variants first.
Waiting for Oreo OTA
Re: They said the U1 beta testers would be the first to get it too and that didn't happen.
Yes. It's taking a great deal of patience. Samsung seems to have appreciated our feedback as beta testers and then led us out to pasture and left is behind. I think I'm running a Jan 16 beta build and have been waiting...
What software version are you guys on? I am still on nougat 7.0. Are they going to push out 8.0 and skipping 7.1?

I was told that the unlocked variant needs all US carriers to sign off on it before they can send it out.
I'm running beta Oreo for U1. Still no update. I wouldn't mind so much if the lockscreen didn't interfere with listening to music, the music gets slow, choppy, distorted sounds when the lock screen turns off my display. Can't listen to music in my car, it's so annoying. Wish they'd expedite the update like now. They basically jacked my radio with that bug. lol

no that's bull****. that defeats the entire purpose of getting an unlocked phone.
The unbranded and unlocked version must work with both GSM and CDMA networks. They also must work with the carriers features like, WiFi calling, call waiting, etc. If I understand this correctly, they will require some form of carriers' certifications. Therefore unlocked phones will face delays from both Samsung and the carriers. I made a mistake of not believing former owners and publications about slow updates when I bought my S8 from Samsung. I have since corrected my mistake and bought a Pixel 2. You'll have to adjust to a plain Jane Android but you must give up something to get the timely OS updates from Google.
I am now fully convinced that Samsung will never change and Samsung phone owners who are dissatisfied with the unlocked OS updates can buy phones other than Samsung. Sony seems to be serious with the US market with their new Xperia XZ2.Sony's OS is as close to plain Android and their updates are not bad. My 2-yr old Xperia X has been on Oreo 8.0 for awhile now. Essential can be a player too.
Do yourself a favor. Stay away from Samsung if your priority is timely OS update.
If they let Snapdragon Users unlock bootloaders this was not a problem. May they will let us do that or some one will find an exploit i mean, yo can unlock bootloader on china snapdragon s8. #IWillBuyMyGalaxyS10WithExynos

Well I hope this is true for Oreo, but I doubt. The 7.0 the unbranded fw for at&t doesn't even allow VoLTE or WiFi calling out of the box.
Not sure about ATT but Oreo works on those features from T-Mobile. By the way I failed to mention that I am on Oreo Beta in my unlocked S8 which I used with Tmo.
I always got updates bas quick as Essential released them.
June Telus listed the PH1 as EOL (end of life) and pulled all products from their store.
Now I have yet to receive the July update. Anyone else?
Is this how Telus decides to do things? As soon as a device is EOL ignore it and pull out the "we have to run extensive tests to make sure the manufacturer's update is compatible with our network and systems" excuse to hold up updates (ie, ignore the device) to get you to "upgrade".

Pull out the SIM, restart, and check for an update. You should get the update direct from Essential. I use a Telus device, albeit with Bell and everything has been smooth sailing when it comes to updates.
As for the carriers in Canada I think we can all agree that their best name is Robellus.
Already tried that.
I suppose it will show eventually.

The same here, no July updates on stock 8.1 / Koodo. Makes me think to ask for refund
So your phones are not unlocked eg they are locked to a carrier?
All Canadian phones are unlocked.
Telus was the only carrier (and it's subbrand Koodoo) that sold the Essential so Essential lets them handle the updates.
Usually, in Canada, when you place a sim card in it is "provisioned" for that carrier. The updates are then handled by that carrier.
For example, my HTC U11+ (a phone not carried by Telus) needs to he on Wifi to get an update notification.
Hence the "take the sim card out" suggestion.

Well that is unfortunate.

Put in a sim from another carrier to get the update. I have a chatter sim I use for the purpose.
I know we did the Sim swap thing on Motorola devices and it worked fine.
Well that would work if I had a sim from another carrier!
Might be worth buying a prepaid sim for that purpose though.

You don't need an active SIM, just any other SIM.
That's what most people do.
Finally got "P' pushed by Koodo today. 1047M update to .091 build.
