Samsung Galaxy A8/A8+ (2018) receiving Android Oreo with Dolby Atmos support
Along with the new features that Android Oreo brings, the Samsung Galaxy A8/A8+ updated user manual also mentions support for Dolby Atmos.
As we begin the second half of 2018, it's Samsung who is still working on bringing last year's big Android update to their latest devices. The South Korean conglomerate released the Galaxy A8 2018 and the Galaxy A8+ 2018 back in January of this year. The devices were launched with Android 7.1.1 Nougat but are finally being updated to Android 8.0 Oreo with Samsung Experience 9.5 built on top of it. We're seeing this update landing on devices in select markets around the world, which also adds support for Dolby Atmos.
Android devices support a lot of external devices. From Bluetooth speakers to external hard drives, there really isn't much you can't hook up to an Android device anymore. However, one thing that users may have trouble with is an external microphone.
It is not very often that we throw around the words "game changer." There have been a great deal of impressive developments here at XDA over the years. However, game changers are indeed a rarity. There have been a couple of recent breakthroughs on the Samsung Galaxy S III, Samsung Galaxy Camera, and other Samsung Exynos-based devices.
