On December 20, it was reported that BOC Galaxy S8/S8 Plus users officially launched the Samsung Experience 9.0 Beta, the pre emptive experience activity of Android 8.0 beta.

Users of S8/S8 Plus series can download the "Galaxy Space" application in the Samsung App Store, select "Join Galaxy Beta Experience Activity", and then apply for registration to receive the upgrade push of Android 8.0 beta. It is reported that this upgrade package is about 1360MB, which not only contains new functions added by Samsung and Android 8.0, but also includes improvements made according to user feedback locks.

The version number of S8 Plus is QL8, the Android version number is 8.0.0, and the Experience version number is 9.0. After the installation and restart, it can be used normally. After preliminary experience, the stability of this version is quite good, and it can basically meet the needs of daily use.

The familiar Orio logo finally came to the Galaxy S8/S8 Plus. In the past, Samsung was not very quick in system upgrade, but this time it was in the forefront of a number of Android manufacturers. As we all know, the promotion of Android 8.0 Oreo has been rather bumpy, and its market share has remained stagnant. As Samsung began to test 8.0, it also brought a positive signal to the Android camp.

In terms of interface, it basically maintains the consistent style of Samsung TouchWiz, with little change. Users who have used Samsung are no strangers.

The new version of TouchWiz supports Google's latest API and fully supports App Short Cut. As long as the app has been adapted, it can call out the Short Cut menu normally. However, it may be because of the beta version, and some of the built-in apps have not been adapted.

The multi task switching interface has also changed greatly. The card area is larger. The application title bar is uniformly designed in white, and there is no multi-color card design.

The mobile phone interface has changed a lot. The mobile phone number, mobile phone model, serial number, IMEI code and other information are placed in a relatively prominent position, and the mobile phone name is also placed in a very prominent position.

In addition to the appearance changes, the GPU driver has been upgraded with the version number of 251.0, which is also the latest GPU driver at present. The current driver version of Pixel XL is 258.0.
