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?

@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
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.
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?
I heard they're getting rid of the blob emojii... not happy about this :cry:
@chrisbuttenham they are. And I hate them for it. Blobmojis were the best
@chrisbuttenham The blobs were the first emoji I loved. This piece captures their appeal: https://www.theverge.com/2017/5/...
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

@nekitperes Plenty of Android phones made in 2017 will get the update. Google Pixel and Nokia 5, 6 and 8 for a start.
@nekitperes nexus 5x and later, nokia 5, 6, 8, essential ph-1, pixel, blackberry keyone, and unnamed phones from sony, samsung, and lg will all be updated to android oreo by the end of the year.
