The Android 8.0 Oreo beta program for the Galaxy S8 is almost at an end, with Samsung hoping to release the final build before February. But the company has been updating various proprietary apps with Oreo support since before the beta program kicked off, and it has now added Samsung Focus to the mix. The latest update to Samsung Focus brings “Android O support,” along with fixes for app-crashing bugs.

Samsung Focus gets Oreo support

That's pretty much it for the changelog, and while the previous version of Samsung Focus also worked on Oreo, the app should now be fully stable. To grab the update, head to the Play Store or the Galaxy Apps store. We will also have the APK file for the new version in our database within the next few hours, so you can sideload it on your device if needed.
