@nekitperes Do you mean phones made in 2018?
ニキタᴺᴾ
@stinhambo yes, from future 😅
Steven Hambleton
@nekitperes Plenty of Android phones made in 2017 will get the update. Google Pixel and Nokia 5, 6 and 8 for a start.

I heard they're getting rid of the blob emojii... not happy about this :cry:
Antonis Tsagaris
@chrisbuttenham they are. And I hate them for it. Blobmojis were the best

@chrisbuttenham bring back my turtle! 🐢

@chrisbuttenham The blobs were the first emoji I loved. This piece captures their appeal: https://www.theverge.com/2017/5/...

@chrisbuttenham omg. blobmoji were my first emoji. this isn't fair.
Christian Menniss
To me Project Treble is the most interesting feature of this new release...hopefully it will mean much faster releases of new Android versions in future

Adult Emojis
@jeffrey_wyman Yes, Emoji Makes Life Easier! Helpful To Save Time To Express Your Feelings by Words then Tapping an Emoji!

Well, I have it on my pixel XL but I can't really tell the difference apart from a white settings pane when you scroll down from the top. Anyone enlighten me?
Zach Dubos
@jwelch faster boot times, picture-in-picture, autofill, new emoji. The huge difference is behind the scenes- it now natively supports Kotlin, a new, more modern programming language (similar to apple's swift)

@jwelch Uh, didn't you watch the video? " Safer, smarter, more powerful and sweeter than ever" /s

@deronsizemore ah, now I get it :-D

This year was a weak release. Hopefully next year will bring more useful improvements.

Oh, just understood that I`m still using Marshmallow, and one year ago was released Nougat. Is 7.0 and future 8.0 available on Google Nexus?
Zach Dubos
@inna_selez nexus 5x/6p, and pixel

Man. This co-branding thing with the makers of Oreo, and all the advertising/promotional projects with them, is just wild. What a thing to do with a new OS release.
Ryan Jenkins
@barnabybones yeah... it weirds me out a little. Next up... macOS Nabisco!

For newer android phones only. Good user product. Highly recommended
