Android Oreo

Android Oreo has released, as has the Oreo 8.1 updates that brings along the key to unlock the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL's Visual Core, as well as AR Stickers. As such, the developer preview is no longer in operation.

Google has released its developer preview for Android Oreo, its eighth operating system to follow the lettered naming convention that will see a full release soon.

While there’s not a whole lot that’s new, you’re probably wondering how you can get it on your device.

First off, you’ll need one of the following devices: Google Pixel, Google Pixel XL, Google Pixel C, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P. If you own the Nexus Player, you can follow along, too. Just make sure that you can plug it into your television or a monitor to keep up with the steps.

Other phones will see the update when Android Oreo is officially released later this year. 

If you own a Nexus or a Pixel device that's compatible, there are two routes to installing Android Oreo. One is a lot easier than the other, but be warned as Android O is still unfinished and therefore buggy, so it’s best to load it onto a device that isn’t your daily driver
