So those are the best reasons, in our opinion, to install Android Oreo on your Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Edge, or Galaxy S7 Active right now or soon after the OTA lands. Here are a few reasons to consider waiting.

We've put together a step-by-step guide that will take you through the process we use before we hit install on new Android software like Oreo. 

If you don't have a ton of time to commit to the pre-installation process make sure all of your data is backed up via Smart Switch, Samsung Cloud, or a third-party service. 

Data loss is rare, but you'll want to be extremely careful with an update of this size.
